3d print

[dradel]

Anyone have 3d cad for things like crio, side car, and pwb?
I have been thinking it would help to be able to do layouts with out using the actual products. Yes they can be made out of cardboard or whatever, but a 3d printable version would be pretty cool.

For design planning cardboard cutouts are fine, 3d prints are a bit of a waste. However, I highly recommend doing layout planing in CAD, whether with actual models or roughly sized boxes. Doing this can save you some headaches when it comes down to building things.
