01 / The workflow

Start with simple shapes.

A box becomes the mounting plate. Cylinders define the airflow opening and screw holes. Start from a blank workspace or use a starter project.

02 / The workflow

Get the dimensions right.

Enter exact dimensions in millimeters, or use the resize handles. Move and rotate parts, snap to the grid, and undo a change when you need to.

03 / The workflow

Combine parts. Make real holes.

Group solids and hole shapes to build the finished part. The original shapes stay editable in the Objects tree, so you can revisit a cut without starting over.

04 / The workflow

Take your design to the printer.

Export the evaluated model as a binary STL in millimeters. Review the mesh checks before saving, then open the STL in your slicer to check it before printing.
