A place to hold models that were created in FreeCAD
The fcstd1 files are a type of backup file that is auto-created by FreeCAD. I am including the file as extra safety.
- 3d-printing - files intended for 3D Printing
- boxes
- ResistorBox is my first attempt at simple resistor box. File contains a top and bottom.
- ResistorBoxReworkBottom is new version of the ResistorBox.
- ResistorBoxReworkTop is new version of the ResistorBox.
- SimpleCaseForUsbMemoryStick. I needed a simple enclosure for a thumb drive. The original enclosure suffered damage from handling over the years. This model could use refinement.
- clips
- CargoNetClipIdeas - playing with ideas for making a clip/hook to link a cargo net to tie down points. This file contains multiple models.
- S-clip - needed a simple 'S' shape with notches on the top an bottom arms. The main idea for this model is to help increase the tension on belts for the He3D printer.
- suspended_ceiling_clip - inspired from a Suspended Ceiling Clip on Thinkgiverse. This version is meant to give me more practice with FreeCAD. I wanted a version with a larger center hole than the original. I have tried to go back to tke sketch to make modifications, for some reason FreeCAD is not allowing me to make edits.
- suspended_ceiling_clip_split - playing with idea of a U shape. I was learning how to use the fillet tool
- electronics
- ElectronicsLabCore - starting platform that could be used to assemble electronics project on. The central plate is a little bigger than a raspberry pi. The individual plates would have tab and slots to allow the additional plates to be hooked together.
- impossible-dovertail
- ImpossibleDovetail is my first attempt at creating this object. I mostly used the Parts Workbench to fuse shapes together.
- ImpossibleDovetail2 is my second attempt. This used a sketch to slice/split the cube into two parts. This design is not printable. Maybe a newer version of FreeCAD could help.
- ImpossibleDovetail3 is my third attempt. I learned enough to make something that is printable. The tolerances on the first print was too tight. I applied a tweak to the model that got something workable.
- ImpossibleDovetailRework is my fourth attempt. In this version, I fixed several issues with the basic sketch and I am working more with tolerances.
- SimonSonicScrewdriver - Simon designed his own Sonic Screwdriver. I am working on the model to 3D print and helping him with the real world aspects of the project.
- lightsaber
- adapter - quick adapter to mount a speaker and battery holder
- boxes
- learn - files intended to learn about FreeCAD
- AngleIronConstructiveSolidGeometry is from a tutorail.
- AngleIronByExtrudingProfile is from a tutorial.
- BasicPartDesignTutorial is from a tutorial.
- generic-plate-4holes is like PlateWithFourHoles but done a different way. Taking advantage of construction lines to place the holes.
- PlateWithFourHoles is from a tutorial and playing around in the tool.
- TurnersCube is from a tutorial.
- TutorialLego is a from a tutorial. It is a simple 2x4 Lego block. This was really important tutorial for me. It is where I first began to understand the workbenchs and the power of FreeCAD. https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Manual:Modeling_for_product_design

- Attempt3
- Attempt3 - is the main file.
- breadbox - playing with FreeCAD to learn how to use the program for woodworking projects
- BreadBoxAttemp2 - refining the basic idea from breadbox file.
