FreeCAD Tutorial for beginners - FreeCAD Tutorial: Create a Parametric Box with Cover (Two Connected Solids)

Want to improve your FreeCAD skills faster? I’ve created a series of short mini-courses – each focused on one practical skill, easy to follow, and affordable. 👉 Check out my FreeCAD mini-courses: Phone Stand in FreeCAD – design a complete 3D printable gadget step by step - https://learn3dcad.com/freecad-course-phone-stand/ Parameters & Formulas – build smart models that adapt automatically to changes - https://learn3dcad.com/freecad-mini-course-parameters-in-action/ Each mini-course is short, structured, and gives you a real skill you can apply right away 🚀 ☕ By getting a mini-course, you also support this channel – it’s like buying me a coffee, but you get new FreeCAD skills in return. In this FreeCAD tutorial, I’ll show you step by step how to create a simple parametric box with a cover using two connected solids in one project. You’ll learn how to: - Build a box using sketches, extrusion, and thickness. - Create a second solid (the cover) linked to the first solid. - Use reference geometry to connect multiple bodies. - Keep your design fully parametric so that changes update both parts automatically. This method is a great way to design simple assemblies in FreeCAD that stay flexible when you modify dimensions. Perfect for beginners learning how to model for 3D printing, technical drawings, or workshop projects. FreeCAD is completely free and can be used for hobby projects, workshops, or even commercial work.
