Hey all! I’m making my first post to showcase my first model. To give you guys some background, I want to buy a 3D Printer, but I like the ability to create custom things to solve my problems. So before I bought one, I watched a quick intro to Fusion360 last weekend, but after some more research, I figured even though FreeCAD is not as shiny as Fusion360, it’d be more beneficial to learn this free open source app in the long run.

So that brings me to my first model; I chose not to do any tutorials and dive straight in. I decided to model my Apple TV remote since it’s pretty simple, with the curved back as a challenge. I spent the last week creating the model, reading forum posts, watching videos, and restarting the design when I learned a better way to do something. I could share those iterations if you all are interested.

I hope to get some feedback on my model and maybe some tips and tricks based on what you guys see. Thank you, guys, for the incredible community!

Do you need all these bodies ?
You should use the XY-plane for the buttons.
