#1 Tutorial: Making A Ribbon Cable

Quick vid of Making a Ribbon Cable with Two Connectors. Done in FreeCAD but, general approach is valid for all CAD programs. Play SPEED Control: Click the Cog and select desired speed #1 Tutorial: Shows the process of ‘Making’ the FreeCad model (A Ribbon Cable) and Exporting it without using StepUp plugin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxPRGyvBuTU&feature=youtu.be #2 Tutorial: Shows a completed Jumper Wire and it’s implementation into KiCad. (same process as for making the Ribbon Cable. This time, the model contains Two Bodies). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMlu-rxtYSQ&feature=youtu.be #3 Tutorial: Shows a more complex model - a Coffee Cup with two contact pins (on cup bottom). Shows it’s implementation in KiCad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88NsRVC-Mo8 #4 Tutorial: Start To Finish - Making A Cable Assembly & Footprint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szj5xV5UF9Q ------------------------------------------------------ * Tutorial #1 General Process: * 1) Create a Cross-Section of the Cable 2) Create a Path to Sweep the Cross-Section 3) Create Connectors on both ends of the cable 4) Color as desired 5) Export Intended use is for a KiCad Footprint. Exported .STEP can be done via Export and/or from the StepUp Plugin. NOTE: You'll need to learn how to make good Sketches without errors (or it won't Sweep). Thus, this video assumes you know how to do that... I did not fuss with making Actual/Real size Cable or Connectors. This is Only a Graphic part for a KiCad Footprint. But, you can certainly make a 'Real' cable and connectors, is desired...
