The laughter was imagining him comprehending this task let alone accomplishing it.

lol

It's a CAD model in Fusion with 259 parameters and 67 features across 12 sketches and two bodies.

The model is designed to be a cradle to hold any device.

In addition to configuring dimensions and positions on every aspect of the model you can keep or suppress all of these features:

- Vent holes
- Riser blocks (enable / disable any of the four blocks)
- Riser block attachment points (both square and round, enable / disable any of the four points)
- Mounting posts that accept fasteners with through holes for the threads and counterbores for the heads (enable / disable any of the four mounting posts)
- Feet attachment points (both round and square, enable / disable any of the four points)
- Hold downs (slots and brackets)

Plus, there are construction planes to help with calculations such as ensuring the item fits inside an envelope of a given size accounting for any hold downs and any "lift clearance" to lift the object out of the cradle enough to clear the cradle lip.

Change any one value and all dependent values change and the model transforms to accommodate the new object.

Pics follow.

I'll show you the final result later today. Then I have 11 more cradles to print for different objects.

Nobody cares, Brian.

You cared enough to respond.

Good enough for me.

Tom still struggles getting his little ding-a-ling out for a piss.

#11 2026-05-29 16:51:00

Tom has also given up getting his fat ass out of his clothing to shyt.

I am awake now. Grabbed the print off the printer. Looks great!

Will try it out soon.

Along with pics!

Is it a robotic dildo Brian?

Second nobody cares post. lolchix

Here it is! Perfect!!

The other cradle for the NetGear was a prototype but still usable.

Poast the stl.

STLs don't carry the parametric data so wouldn't help much. I am happy to share the Fusion archive (.f3d) file with you.

Oh, I just wanted something to print. Doesn't have to be functional.

I assume you mean that you can specify the specific size and hole configuration as your parameters? Pretty slick. STLs do allow resizing, of course, but that isn't particularly helpful in this case. It is helpful for art pieces.

I don't have Fusion and I don't know specifically how to use it, run a parametric file against it, or export it to an STL. I assume you rendered it to an STL before printing it, right, and then sliced it into whatever your printer takes? How is that done?

Yes, I export it to .3MF and then slice it in Bambu Studio. That's the image in post #5.

Here are what the parameters look like:

If you have a device you want a cradle for I can plug in the numbers and export an STL for you.

I will keep that in mind. Thanks!
