  • I love this. This would make it easier. I can use the exact same cone to “cut” the case. I’ll also be able to perfectly center the cone on the mag quad adapter (not sure if the stl has is 100% centered or not, but this way I can get it perfect.

    I’ll play with this. Probably won’t have time for a few days, my days are busy. I tried using sphere deletion in blender yesterday, and it was a bit tough since it was my first time using any 3d design software.

    I think this is probably the best suggestion for how to accomplish this, and I’ll be able to focus on doing it soon.



  • Something like that last image is exactly what I’m trying to do! I probably could have described it better.

    I think it’s probably a bit more complex than I thought, and I’m not sure it’s doable it tinkerCAD (i couldn’t find any way to trim objects…perhaps i’m just missing it). I’m gonna play with windows 3d builder soon when I get a chance I think.



  • Edit: This is as far as I got in Tinkercad/Blender/Automesh – I had trouble actually modifying the shapes in any way in all programs (I am an absolute beginner at this, but I wanna learn and have access to a few different makerbot printers):

    This is my crude sketch on what I wanna do.

    This is the magquad holder I want to integrate directly into the case.

    I don’t wanna stick the holder on my naked phone, and if I put the holder on the case as it is, it will likely be too thick to charge.





  • I tried with tinkercad, and I struggled. I was again able to align the shapes directly on top of one another, but when it came to modifying the actual shape I could not figure it out- is there a tutorial on adding shapes together or anything, or even carving stuff out?

    I looked and couldn’t find anything this specific. It seemed like a much easier tool to use, but I couldn’t figure out how to do what I wanted. I also used
