Installing Linux USB: .5 hours Learning FreeCAD: 15 hours Documentation: 1 hour

Learning FreeCAD was definitely the most difficult task. The 15 hours learning FreeCAD enabled me to complete the XYZ cube in about 42 minutes. It took me a while to figure out how to align the pipes perpendicular and parallel to each other within the xyz plane. I watched the 2 tutorial videos provided but had to frequently reference the Old_FreeCAD_Tests to fully understand how to accomplish the task. I did not use any other outside tutorials.

I believe I built the XYZ cube in a "brute force" fashion and that a more efficient and elegant solution was possible. At some point while adding the fastener to my cube, some of the pipes came out of position, so I give myself 85% for this attempt.
