Coming up...
See my presentation on 3D Printing Best Practices & SolidWorks tools before anyone else! In preparation for an upcoming SolidWorks User Group presentation to @Edward Zacharia 's group in Tanzania, I'll be doing a practice run here for the community. Please drop by the live call or watch the replay after (assume the recording works). Topics include: DFAM Philosophy, 3D Printing Best Practices and SolidWorks tools for 3D printing.

Livestream in 2 nights
I'll be Assembling this Lego Kit live in Solidworks. https://youtube.com/live/BZLItSJ5xYU?feature=share You can follow along too by downloading and using the parts attached here. They will work in SolidWorks 2023 or newer. If you have any questions for me to answer during the stream, post below! Nearing 100 members now. I have a BIG launch coming soon, in partnership with another education platform. Keep an eye out

Already downloaded the parts and can't wait for the livestream, planning to follow along live! 🎉 I'd love it if you could touch on large assembly management, since that's something I really struggle with. Specifically: when I have a big assembly with nested subassemblies, mates often go inactive or start behaving weird, and I run into a bunch of errors trying to fix them. Any tips or best practices you have for keeping large assemblies stable would be super helpful! Thanks for putting this together — looking forward to learning a lot 🙌

Learn Assemblies with the LEGO Motorcycle
Hi all, I've just finished splitting and posting the LEGO Motorcycle Assembly masterclass into a series of lessons to step through one at a time. The video content has been broken up, and each lesson description includes what you can expect to learn from participating. If you want to learn more about SolidWorks Assemblies, with ready-made files to use, this is the place. It was a fun assembly to complete, and reviewing it again now reminds me how fun it can be to build. I'll be picking up the next LEGO challenge in the 2nd half of the year! If you have suggestions, let me know. Hope you enjoy!

This is great Chris! Breaking the masterclass down into individual lessons makes it much more approachable for anyone looking to master complex assemblies. Can you try do motion study or Animation on Lego 3D models? I think that would be fun to watch:)

Reverse engineering complex surface
Hi Chris! I have seen the notifications for the next Livestream Design + Q&A on 16th April! Currently I faced a challenge reverse engineering this part in Solidworks especially capturing those curved geometry accurately! Can you talk about this on your next livestream :)

Real world Design work
I have some client work! I don't advertise, so it's a bit rare, but I've agreed to work with a previous client on a new product of theirs. Here is a quick example of how I'm using SolidWorks to set the foundations for the Product Design. If you like this and want to see more, let me know in the comments. I can keep you updated during the projects progression.

This project looks interesting! I am curious to know what are the end results that should be achieved with Solidworks!
