I was given an Ender 3 Pro last week and after a few bumps managed to successfully CAD, slice and print a booster seat for my phone. The caddy as it was would grab the volume down button on my phone, this little wedge solves the issue!

    Can you expand on this? You can import a photo into freeCAD?

      You can import an image to an image plane using the Image Workbench then scale it. After that it can be shown or hidden like any other part of your design so you can just trace over it.

        Interesting. I’ll look into that. Learning CAD has been a real barrier to getting good use out of my printer.

          FreeCAD has a steep learning curve, I’ve only just started with it, but it seems to cover every possible use case. Good luck!
