FreeCAD: Learning As I Go

Описание: In this video, I dive into FreeCAD to design custom parts for my next big project — a powered kayak cart! The plan is to use 1-inch PVC pipe for the frame and a Power Wheels motor, gearbox, and controller from Amazon to drive it.

I’ll show how I’m laying out the design in FreeCAD, creating the mounting parts, and thinking through how everything will come together before building. If you’ve ever wanted to bring your CAD ideas to life for a practical project, this is a great example of how FreeCAD can handle real-world designs from concept to creation.
