« Last post by Chiyou on Today at 11:13:10 AM »A total noob question: What kind of software are you using to design stuff like this? Some sort of CAD-software? Is it free/open source? I’d be interested to design a storage box to mount inbetween the water bottles in the frame triangle on my TT-X38.
Yes, CAD / 3D-modeling software. Commercial products such as Fusion 360 are very slick and can do a lot of thinking for you; licenses for personal use may be available. On the opensource side, FreeCAD* has been around for a good long time but takes some getting used to, depending on how your brain works. Either way, expect a steep learning curve.
* Ondsel ES is built on top of FreeCAD and to an extent takes the sting out of FreeCAD's somewhat spartan approach.
