  • description: Welcome to Day 2 of our complete FreeCAD beginners course! In this step-by-step FreeCAD tutorial, learn how to create a classic chess rook (castle) using a reference image trace: Link to file: https://www.patreon.com/posts/147587303 (Please, please tell me if this file is not public, I will update straight away!) DAY 1: https://youtu.be/S2ySQaKKiHA DAY 2: https://youtu.be/XyFH579w62M DAY 3: https://youtu.be/LyEaUOZ7rhM Use the part design Revolve tool, block constraints for stable sketching, and two different workflows for the crenellations (battlements) using Pocket + Polar Pattern (subtractive) and Pad + Polar Pattern (additive). We'll cover essential beginner tools: importing & scaling reference images, polyline & arc sketching, tangency & symmetry constraints, revolve around axis, polar patterning features around a central axis, fillets, and exporting for 3D printing. Finally, discover a clever slicer trick to add weighted infill at the base for better chess piece stability. Whether you're new to FreeCAD parametric modeling or want to 3D print your own custom chess set, this beginner-friendly guide walks you through every click.
