    Hi guys.

    I have managed to get pretty proficient in printing things on my Ender 3, so I have been thinking of doing some super structures that way. The only problem is that I know very little about how to build the 3D print files. I have downloaded fusion360 and have played with it a little bit, but my knowledge is pretty limited. Are there any good tutorials out there that could help me get started? Any suggestions on how to start? TIA.

    There is not really a tutorial. You just need a good reference picture set, usually top and side profile, and you kind of just trace it out and extrude.
