CAD Files?
Quote from deg on 2023-09-27, 01:21I have built the MK3 and have the electronics and an initial build operating. Nice design! In adjusting things, it is getting cumbersome to keep taking the mount (5 screws) and the turntable (5 screws) off in order to get at the screws attaching the side-skirts (4 screws) so that I can separate top and bottom to get inside. I would like to modify the side and the side-skirt stls such that the four screws joining them are accessed and assembled from the outside. Is there a way to get a CAD file so that I can edit these in Fusion 360? (I'm not have much luck making a mesh to solid conversion.)

It is a partial print of a side-skirt, with the plastic simply drilled to accept the screw from the outside. I would like to modify the stl files so that this is cleaner and so that going forward, the drilling etc. isn't necessary. This partial side-skirt is handy for keeping the top and bottom assemblies fastened together while providing internal visibility for trouble shooting.
