Journal Entry 7 – 3D Modeling – FreeCAD Basics

Object 1: It took me a while to get used to the UI and be able to navigate it effectively. The tutorial took me quite some time to finish it but I eventually did.

Object 2: I have two charging cables that I keep at the edge of my desk where I charge my smartphone and smartwatch. I looked up a charging station on amazon and tried to model it plus the required hook to sustain itself on the desk. I don’t think the hook to be necessary but included it anyway to fulfill the requirement. On the top of the design are slots for the smartwatch and smartphone. I could not figure out how to include a wire hole from the smartphone slot to the smartwatch slot. So essentially the smartwatch slot is just somewhere to place it. The smartphone slot has a deeper pocket that goes through the design. On the back of the design is a slot to feed the cables.

Object 3: Lego were the first thing that came to mind when I read the this objective. They are pretty good at sticking together when combined I looked up the dimensions of a Lego block and made various ones.
