Tinx<p>In this video I demonstrate how to create a threaded bolt and the matching core starting from the previous video. A custom offset allows you to adapt for your printer's precision.</p><p>3/3</p><p><a href="https://jit.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> <a href="https://jit.social/tags/FreeCADTutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCADTutorial</span></a> <a href="https://jit.social/tags/DIY" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DIY</span></a> <a href="https://jit.social/tags/3DPrint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3DPrint</span></a> <a href="https://jit.social/tags/CAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CAD</span></a></p>

Chris Huck :freecad: :ubuntu:<p>It often makes me a little crazy when I see people specify diameters as a radius in sketches that are going to be revolved features. So, I made a little tutorial video showing a trick to directly specify diameter dimensions for revolved features. Though this is in <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freecad</span></a>, it can be used in other CAD as well if the diameter dimension isn't built-in.</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FreeCADTutorial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCADTutorial</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/EC1pNUDmou4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">youtu.be/EC1pNUDmou4</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
