Is nobody doing 3D models anymore?
Here a quick racetrack render I made. Only the actual road surface for now, planning on adding more details later on.

I'am, sometimes. Busy with work and I'm getting used to Fusion360 slowly, bit by bit. Last home project was this mount I created for my 3D printer. It's a mount for cloths, straps etc for the laser engraving side of the machine..
A few things I had to think of..
1 : Biggest possible mount on a 125mm by 125mm plate, including the clamps for securing the cloth to the mount.
2 : free space for fingers AND screwdriver to secure the mount to his plate, that's why I designed the block with )---(
lines, just enough space to have a grip with your thumb and finger to unscrew the bolt fast and easy + the 4 notches at the top for screwdriver and possibly a special imbus tool later on (still searching for that).
3 : 3D printing is a slow progress, keeping the mount as light and hollow as possible is a way to decrease the printing time, so I created a few holes from the front to the back + add fillets at the bottom, also for a better look ofcourse
A small jump in time, designed the clamps for the mount. I ran out of red filament, so I changed it for a yellow for the second clamp.
At the 'inside' of the clamps I made a rougher surface for a better grip on the cloths or straps I want to engrave.

Not the result as I hoped for, talking about the engraved image, but the mount was solid and doing what I hoped for.. !
Second attempt was a lot better. A subtile engraved text on a wipe for my sunglasses in our new (soon to be) mini camper.
