A Voyage begins
So, now that I have a new printer with more capabilities than the ones I've owned in the past I felt like it was high time that I tried learning to design my own objects to print. I've tried several times in the past to use various CAD tools to do this, but I either found them too complicated, or too simple to create what I wanted.
I think I finally found a tool that suits me: OnShape
OnShape is a cloud hosted CAD tool with a free tier, and there is also some pretty good training courses on their learning portal to start using it right away.
I started working through one of the learning paths and learned enough after a couple of hours to create a simple part that I needed for my printer.
I needed a mod for the spool holder on the back of my printer that would allow the spools to turn a little smoother as well as lift it up just a bit to clear the garbage port mod I'd installed.
It's not very complicated but it gave me an opportunity to try out what I'd learned so far.
Works pretty well, but I found a couple of minor things I want to tweak.
This is AF5QH. 73 and out.
