FeatureScripts are user created extensions to Onshape that allow for complex geometry with minimal user skill and knowledge. The best is they are completely free. In this video, I share my favourite FeatureScripts and show you how to install and manage them.

Thanks to my patron Phil for requesting the video and the authors of these amazing scripts for creating them.
