Anyone up for the challenge?

I like it !

There is also similar to this posted at 3dwarehouse for SketchUp users which he modeled a lot of different connections and locking mechanism without bolt it screw

@Cesar_Tolentino ​ you know the name for reference so I can search for it?

Give me a few

Ok i found it… it is called DIGITAL JOINTS… For people who are not familiar with Sketcup, the free version is Sketchup Make. And then there is a plugin to make it STL, or a plugin to make it DXF… Hope this helps…

and for the plugins, here is the repository…

I love Sketchup. Easy to learn and use, very powerful once you know how to use it. I even modify STL with it

Haha…Ariel, you have to tell me how to modify STL with it. I always end up redrawing the whole thing… what is your secret…

If the STL is very complex, forget it and go to Fusion 360. If its more simple then i just delete all the tris ( cross lines in the face ) and from there add, delete, etc. I should do a video of that

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty Yes you should do I video on that :wink: I would love to lean a bit more of sketchup from somebody using the same tools as me.

to modify stl look at Meshmixer

@StephaneBUISSON ​ organics shapes yes, parts and similar I does not offer the same precision

@Cesar_Tolentino can you tell me what DFX plugin you use? I haven’t found one yet that works correctly.

@donkjr ​ download the latest SketchUp and use native dxf export

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty I don’t have the pro version.

@donkjr ​ latest Make version also saves to dxf. I tried it yesterday to confirm

@Ariel_Yahni_UniKpty wow that must be new?

I think so, I was surprised myself

Thanks Ariel for the follow up. Let me know if you also cannot find the import export of STL file
