3D Printed "RAMS" mounts

That is super cool and looks not only useful but fun. Not sure I’m smart enough to learn but I bet my kids are.

I do 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing) for a living, and this is one of the biggest advantages to the technology – being able to make a prototype, fail, make a second one, fail, make a third one, etc. all in such a short amount of time. The turnaround time is mind-blowing, depending on the type of part. I can go through 5 iterations of a component in a week, where it would often take twice that time just to get the first prototype back from an outside vendor using conventional manufacturing techniques.

I love seeing it used for this type of stuff! How do you like Blender? Have you heard of Onshape? A guy I work with really seems to like it.

I absolutely love Blender! I can rip a prototype part out in minutes using boolean cut, mirroring, and extruding. However I have some ideas that are pushing its limits. Mainly mechanical alignment stuff for moving parts. So I am now learning Fusion 360.
