Guitar Holder
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a 3D printable Guitar Holder in SelfCAD using an image as a reference, the Freehand Drawing tool, and cylinder shapes. You'll also use tools such as Bend, Copy Offsets, and Boolean operations (Union and Difference) to build and refine the model.
Wooden pastry mold
Create a wooden pastry mold in SelfCAD! In this interactive tutorial, I used the Freehand Drawing tool to sketch the outline, extruded it into a 3D shape, added the floral pattern with Sphere and Capsule objects, and finished the mold using Boolean Union and Difference operations.
Cake Cutter / Cake Slicer
In this tutorial, I created a cake cutter using simple shapes like cubes and cylinders in SelfCAD. I used tools such as Boolean Union, Boolean Difference, and Copy Offset with Pivot to shape and duplicate parts of the design. This tutorial is simple and easy to follow for beginners who want to learn basic 3D modeling techniques.
Drill Dust Collector
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use SelfCAD to create a Drill Dust Collector. We start with simple Cube and Cylinder shapes, then use the Screw Generator to create the hollow threaded section for attaching a bottle. Follow the step-by-step process to design a functional, 3D-printable tool that captures dust while drilling and helps keep your workspace clean.
Pappad makker
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use SelfCAD to create a pappad maker using cylinder shape, sphere shape, drawing tool(circle), and spiral generator.
Slotted Optical illusion panel
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to design a slotted illusion panel in SelfCAD using cube shapes, Copy Offset, and Boolean operations (Union & Difference) to create precise patterns and a creative 3D printable design.
Illusion fidget spinner
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use SelfCAD to design a 3D-printable Illusion Fidget Spinner using the Cylinder Shape and Drawing tools, along with features like Copy Offset and Boolean operations (Union and Difference) to create a smooth and visually engaging model.
Coupler
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a coupler. A train coupler connects railcars together and handles the pulling and pushing forces between them. You will deform two cubes to create the coupler head and jaw, then deform a cylinder to form the hinge pin.
Drawer divider Brackets
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use SelfCAD to design a 3D-printable Drawer Divider Bracket using the Drawing Tool and Boolean Difference operation to create precise cutouts and functional features.
