HeeksCAD tutorial series

I have started a tutorial series for HeeksCAD, and how to use it to make printable items for RepRap. It's fully open source, and works quite well.

I posted links to the video on my blog. Do I need to do any work on the wiki for this, or should it stay separate? I hate upsetting the Wiki gnomes!!

Ohh, also, what other objects would you like to see modeled, and is there an issue with me using the RepRap parts as the "models"?

Well, you're a Wiki gnome. What do you think is the best thing to do?

Ohh, also, what other objects would you like to see modeled
I would suggest either
1) parts for a marble race, pardon me, a "spherical transport mechanism",
2) a "napkin sketch" for the prosthetic leg project,
[forums.reprap.org]
3) parts for Eiffel with me and tim,
[reprap.org]
or something else useful, interesting, or beautiful.

and is there an issue with me using the RepRap parts as the "models"?
Why would there be? You're a developer.

Remember, you're all RepRap developers (once you've joined the super-secret developer mailing list), and the wiki, RepRap.org, [reprap.org] is for everyone and everything!

Hey, just watched through all these. Would love to see you do anything with contstraints (hope I didn't just miss these). I know what they should do, so that's partly just to see if my install isn't quite right (installed on Arch Linux from the user repository) or if the program isn't quite right.

EDIT: Actually I went back and read the comments on your post and someone posted a video with just that. Looks like there's something wrong with my solver!

I was wrong again! I just didn't turn on the "autosolve contstraints" option in the digitizing menu in the options panel. This got a lot more useful for me very quickly.

I want to compile heekscad or use it on my linux ubuntu 10.10 64 bit laptop please help I don't know if the code is broken or my setup is wrong.

Post over in the Heekscad wiki, dan is helpful, or go into #cam on freenode irc

Hmm... how about Angelina Jolie

I'm familiar with several other CAD programs like autocad megacad qcad sketchup

instead of a video tutorial I prefer something that is written.

I want to jump straight forward to how do I ....instead of watching a lot of videos until I found the scene
where this particular feature is explained with pictures

where can I find somthing like this?

best regards
