Hi all, been busy learning how to make 3d patterns for metal sand casting. Just now getting to the point where I can design the part using FreeCAD and get it to slice using Cura without errors. Still having trouble getting all the draft set on complex shapes but I will keep working on it.
So far I made a small 3 inch flywheel for a model steam engine I want to build. It was a fun project and I learned a ton.
Anybody else messing around with making patterns?
Thanks, Dale
