Anyone able to use the online tools?

[GR63]

I have a simple design I need to get done so I can order a 3D print of it but I cannot seem to do anything in these "easy" 3D tools online I'm just trying to adjust an existing design for size to make a simple bracket to hold two SSDs that I can probably just hotglue into a PC case

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3184180 (just needs making taller to fit better in my case)

Anyone able to assist in return for my undying gratitude?

Which item (assuming not the dummy drives but the SSD or HDD version?) needs adjusting and by how much?

I use TinkerCAD its very easy

what slicer are you using?
you can scale things up and down on each axis in most slicers

The SSD thing... I havent taken measurements yet but basically need to make it a bit longer in the "MSMS" direction (taller) and probably tweak a few other measurements. I kinda want to have a vertical bracket for my Node 304 which I can screw two SSDs onto. But for a space not designed for SSDs of course!

I dont have a printer and I can't get my head around the s/w so I dont know how...

And

Glad it works for you.. I am pretty sure I checked it and didnt like/get on with.

I wouldnt ask for help if I could do myself.. Its not that I am lazy (although I am)... Just can't get to grips with it

I am tempted to built a card prototypefor checking measurements and maybe just make thing out of wood if needs.

Break out paint and do a few arrows showing what you want and post the image.

I too was clueless with CAD programs. Fusion 360 is still an anomaly to me its all chinese.
I started with Meshmixer and followed a couple of Youtube videos. Then I found TinkerCAD which is basic in CAD terms but found a Youtube video of what I wanted to change in a model so I just copied it then slowly learnt. If you put the time in suddenly it starts to make sense.

If you start with something basic and do a little mod it soon starts to click.

Now I can do things like this :-

I adjusted the sizes for a narrower SD card holder.

Neptune 3 Pro Display Stand by Goose98

I designed this stand to hold the display controller for the Neptune 3 Pro so I could keep the controller outside of the thermal tent enclosure for the printer. This is designed to let you mount the existing magnetic base, which is normally mounted to the side of the printer, to this portable...

Yeah will do... or paper mockup with dimensions and photo... just need to tidy it up so it makes sense...

Sorry it took so long (RL and other excuses!)

I hope this makes sense. SSD screw holes are M3 but I assume I'd have to melt the nuts into the PLA to secure into? Measurements in mm of course. Overall frame dimensions in black. Co-ordinates for holes in red (taken with top left as 0,0). I guess the "frame" could be hollow to reduce cost of PLA by either removing space behind SSDs or making it a framework like mesh kinda thing?
