I got some time today to work at learning #FreeCad and while there is much I don't understand yet, I did finally sort out a good workflow for building my first part for #3dPrinting ! I do have to say that I redrew it 3 different times before figuring out the best approach. Finally decided to start my sketch from the front of the object since it was the most complicated and knocked if out in an hour, about quarter of the time it took to do the first 2 attempts! Now I'm getting handle on this!

@meadowhawk You will now forever find yourself completely modeling a part and then thinking of a better way to have done it. That’s not necessarily a bad thing because it means you’re getting better each time! 😃

@chrishuck I believe it! After I accepted the first one was totally booked starting the 3rd version was just the obvious thing to do! Lol I'm pretty sure I'm going to get faster at the iterations in my next part or two!

@meadowhawk Just wait until you get a couple years down the road, and you have to edit past models. You’ll be like: “What the hell was I thinking?”The good thing is, you’ll have the option the improve it based on new knowledge if you want.

@chrishuck haha this sounds just like programming! Looking over code from 10 years ago and I debate if I should remove be it from GitHub to avoid embarrassment 😂
