FreeCAD Basics

Object #1

Object #1 : For this object, I followed the tutorial instructions on how to make it. I had trouble with this object throughout the whole experience but mainly towards the ending. My program wasnt acting the same as the tutorial videos I watched when it came time to make the second rectangle sketch to include the pocket. I think I sort of figured it out, but honestly wouldnt be surprised if something isn’t totally accurate.

Object #2 : This object actually came about quite strangely. I wasn’t able to figure out my original design that I had envisioned for my cord holder, so I decided to move on to object #3. While I was messing around with what I thought was going to make object #3 I realized the unfinished first half of it would work perfectly as a cord holder for my desk. So I saved it as just that. This object would easily slide onto the side of my desk while still being tight enough so that it wouldn’t come off easily. It also would allow the cord to sit nicely in the top opening space, but it is still small enough as to not allow the cord to slip out.

Object #3 : This one took me a while to figure out what I was going to make. I ended on this object that would in perfect terms interlock into each other and if measured correctly, wouldn’t fall apart because it would be tight enough not to let go. I made the slots the same length and width which should make for a tight interlock between the two different disks. Because of the basics of these two pieces, it wasnt incredible difficult to make. The hardest part of it was definitely figuring out what I was going to make in the first place.
