Blender 2.9

shortcuts

  • SHIFT z: switch wireframe and object mode
  • f: fill faces or edges between edges or vertex
  • a: select all
  • ALT+a: select nothing
  • c: circle select
  • b: box select
  • SHIFT+b: zoom to box
  • SHIFT+s: cursor move or selection move
  • w: cycle between selecion modes

numpad emulation

  • edit → preferences → input → emulate numpa
  • enable 1,2,3 switch faces,edges,vertex: edit → preferences → keymap → search mode
    • select mode toggle: ALT+1
    • select mode toggle: ALT+2
    • select mode toggle: ALT+3

Sometimes boolean difference fails. Before try on each object:

  • edit mode
  • select all vertices A
  • vertex (top menu) → Merge Vertices → by distance (this operation remove duplicate vertices)
  • select (multiple) object and SHIFT+H to hide others
  • recall others with ALT+H

TAB key

  • activate Vertex select with 1, Edge select with 2 and Face select with 3

Create new object from selected vertex:

  • duplicate with SHIFT+d
  • ESC to exit from grab mode
  • parent selected with “p”
  • exit from edit mode with TAB and you will have two objects

CTRL+l: select touching vertex, edges, faces

Recalculate normals (to solve bevel problems): select all with “a” and hit “shift+n”

knife mode K:

  • c for angle constrain
  • z for cut all deeper edges

put vertex same X, Y or Z:

  • position the 3d cursor at the Y location
  • set the pivot point to the 3d cursor (. period key)
  • then scale by zero on the Y axis (S Y 0)

Hey! Apologies for Necro'ing this thread but I think I have the exact same board and machine as you, and was running into the exact same problem. I don't know if you wound up solving your problem, but the change that worked for me was two fold:

  • twist the spindle wires together between the motor and the board, adding a shield if necessary (I eventually removed the shielding when I accidentally damaged it)
  • solder a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor (make sure it is bidirectional!!!) between each terminal of the spindle motor to the spindle motor body itself. Ideally, you would also solder a third capacitor between each motor terminal, but I did not do so and have not yet had the random dropouts I did before.
