Devlog #2: The CAD
Slightly long devlog, lets go over it!
For my base, I just used the normal tutorial for the project, since my CAD knowledge extended only to assembling an FTC bot.
After that, I was thinking of a theme. It took me a while to figure things out, and I slept on it. I had a carton of some of the new F1 hotwheels on my table, and I decided to make my alarm clock hotwheel themed!
I got a DXF file of the hotwheel logo, imported and extruded it, then used the boolean tool to etch the logo into the case so it can actually print that way.
What was the hardest part of this part?
The Boolean tool and managing DXF files.
Once I had loaded in the DXF files, it took FOREVER for me to be able to adjust and crop it. There were a lot of stray dots that took a while to get rid of. Luckily, they did not affect final cad.
I also added a phone stand because why not. It prints without supports according to my slicer.
