Designing a RC electrics cover - from sketch to 3D print via freeCAD

For creators one of the joys of scratch-built RC planes is the constant need for bespoke bits.  In this video I capture the workflow of creating a protective cover for the electrics of a minimalist RC plane.

I use FreeCAD and I often forget the little rituals needed to get from initial primitives through lofting, adding thickness and then slicing apart to arrive at a good printable part.  If you have avoided these facilities perhaps it is time to reconsider.
I recorded the workflow so join me for the ride....
