@10leej The go to recomendations currently for video tutorials are "Mango Jelly" or Shawn Hymel/Digikey on youtube. If you prefer text based search or "FreeCAD for Makers" returns a free to download book from Raspberry pi.

A friend needs a chainguard for his #velomobile. He has no experience w/ #FreeCAD so I made a parametric model he can easily adapt and learn from.

@FreeCAD Here's the FreeCAD part I made last week ("CAD for the CAT"): I had to re-pot a plant and needed to protect the soil from my cats. I designed 4 flat plates with hexagonal holes that fit the pot. They are secured with hexagonal pegs. Everything printed in PLA. (Center part around the plant stem is secured with plastic mesh, also secured with the pegs.)

Simple part designed in FreeCAD, and printed out in PLA plastic. Its purpose is to cover a rectangular pot so that cats can't do their business in the soil. The flat part has an array of hexagonal holes to allow for easy watering, while still keeping cats' paws out. The flat part is secured using 3D printed nails that fit the hexagonal holes in the cover. The left 2 panels of the picture show the part designs in FreeCAD, the right panel is an image with the parts printed and placed in the pot, with a cat sitting nearby, looking at the camera.
