Finally got to grips with Sketch based design in FreeCAD. I’ve always just hacked pieces out of primaries with Boolean differences. I’ve been sat with tutorial series over the past week or so (stuck on the Kodi RasPi I have) whilst lounging about. I’m finally able to go back and make tweaks quickly rather than having to delete and start again. Part of my Business is Vape Box Mods, so I’ve come up with this design as a exercise. There are 2 versions, with the 2nd just having the measurements changed. I class this as a win.
is it “learn freecad”'s tutorials on youtube? i’ve been working through them over the past 2 weeks - would love to know if anything’s better?
btw - i was in need of a box and a way to connect my new 12864 screen to my 2020 i3, and came upon your design for the fb2020 - it’s frickin’ brilliant! if you designed it - major kudos, i can now connect my screen basically anywhere and in any orientation quickly and easily, it’s a perfect fitting for the 2020 extrusions, and i did not have to file/drill/modify anything - it just fit (printed in black generic chinese petg) and works and looks great, so - thanks!
@Tom_Keidar - it is, I’ve not been really following along more watching them to get an understanding an working from there. There are a lot of Sketch based CAD programs out there, so it’s pretty much transferable, once you get your head around the new program. So in that way, it’s damn worth it. I’m starting to prefer it as I can go back and tweak measurements etc, I’m still getting my head around it.
As for the Case/mount combo, sadly they’re not my base design, however they have been modified to work together Sources are marked on the FB2020 Wiki. However, going back to sketch based design, I’m going to revisit them, as it’s now become fairly simple to knock something like that up.
yeah, what i meant by following along was that i was watching them in sequence…
i needed to design a front plate for my nas server, and decided to do it “the right way” this time, meaning not by just throwing 3d build blocks and doing boolean diffs in fusion360 or tinkercad.
took some measurements, did a sketch in freecad and converted to a shape, printed 2 layers to do a dry fitting and it was perfect, printed it out in petg and it works brilliantly.
re. the case/mount - well, you did a damn fine job with the modifications then, and putting those pieces together. i looked for just that design on thingiverse and youmagine… had a lot of tabs open, none were quite what i needed, and was about to give up and try my own. this saved me quite a bit of time (and frustration probably… lots of frustration 
)
I’m finding that too, parts are working first time rather than having to print, tweak, reprint, tweak something else print again. You’re welcome for the case btw
