25 years! That makes sense seeing your skill on display. Yes - Tinkercad does have its limits and a lack of precision/resolution but is oh so easy for someone as lazy as me!

Check out a chap called Lars Christiansen on Youtube - he has some great tutorials which is how I got started
I think I have seen some of his vids. I will have to watch one to confirm. I have been making my way through the lynda.com tutorials on fusion 360 which has been helpful. I get lost in the complexity of the software and usually quickly retreat back to Tinkercad when I get frustrated I am ashamed to say.

Brilliant design MJ! I bet it fits like a glove...

Printed @ 100% infill with supports everywhere and a brim. Print time was 1hr 24 mins @ 30mm per second print speed. I will have a go at installing tomorrow and report back.


Here is the time lapse video of the print for a bit of fun!
