FreeCAD for Beginners #1 - Download to First Model

Intended for the absolute beginner in FreeCAD, this video will walk you through downloading the latest development version, unzipping it and running it for the first time. It will guide you to creating your first Sketch and Model. Along the way we will explain the workbenches and the user environment. - It's a short, quick, example of how to get started. It's the first in series of "Beginner" videos to get even more people up and running with FreeCAD. If you have any questions please put them in the comments below: NOTE: It appears that freecad 0.19.1 had been promoted to the stable release, just download the stable release instead of the development version. For those of you looking for more advanced creations, we will be creating a new video showing how to create 3D parts with FreeCAD. ##Patreon Link: https://www.patreon.com/AdventuresinCreation ##Affiliate Links: CNC Z-Axis Router Mill Touch Plate: https://amzn.to/30cRLGn 3D Solutech Real Black 3D Printer PLA Filament: https://amzn.to/3kL0wAU Align Carbide, UP Cut Router Bit, 1/4 Inch: https://amzn.to/3qljwHo HQMaster 10-Pack End Mill Milling Cutter: https://amzn.to/3kMWzvq VINCA DCLA-0605 Electronic Digital Vernier: https://amzn.to/30piuj4 Lhcsi 63/37 Tin Lead Solder: https://amzn.to/38q3bv0 Aven 17010 Adjustable Circuit Board Holder: https://amzn.to/30pnHYc SpeTool 5PCS 2 Flutes Square Nose End Mill: https://amzn.to/38nxr9I TWTADE/Red Lamp Self Locking Emergency Stop: https://amzn.to/38nxEK2 SEDY Band Clamp: https://amzn.to/3rx4P5F SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC: https://amzn.to/3s5frsI ## Links: FreeCAD macros https://bitbucket.org/ianj001/freecad/src/master/ Octoprint: https://octoprint.org/ Octoremote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabacon.octoremote&hl=en_US Cura: https://ultimaker.com/software/ultimaker-cura Fusion 360: https://www.autodesk.com/products/fusion-360/ Fusion 360 API: https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID-A92A4B10-3781-4925-94C6-47DA85A4F65A FreeCAD: https://www.freecadweb.org/ Raspberry Pi: https://www.raspberrypi.org/ Blender: https://www.blender.org/ Inkscape: https://www.inkscape.org OBS: https://obsproject.com/ PxKeystrokes: https://github.com/Phaiax/PxKeystrokesForScreencasts/ ## Songs: Raw Space by Spazz Cardigan (intro) 00:00 Introduction 00:46 Downloading FreeCAD 08:40 Running FreeCAD 10:04 Review the Workbenches 13:47 The Part Design Workbench 15:39 Create Our First Sketch 22:00 Create Our First Model 23:00 Final Thoughts
