Answering your CAD requests - 3D design for 3D printing pt9

To get the best out of 3D printing, it helps if you can design your own parts. In this tutorial series, we will learn to use a free 3D CAD program to do just that.

In this episode, I fill in some blanks by showcasing some features requested by viewers. We cover organisation, the revolve and sweep tools, advanced fillet and chamfer options, organic shapes with surfaces, export to DXF, surface textures/patterns and how to avoid support.

A future video is planned where I design a more complex part from start to finish to show all of the little problems and how to fix them.
