Messing around with TinkerCAD today and likely through the weekend as I get started. Thanks for the rec. Dipping my toes into electronics/soldering for the flight controls itself is the least interesting part of the long-term goal, mostly due to ignorance. This'll help alleviate some of it. r/fixmyprint seems a goldmine.

Funny (and encouraging) seeing a few of y'all able to chime in on 3D-printing. Wasn't expecting it, but all-the-more excited for the gadget to arrive.

Any dipshit can learn to solder in 45 minutes.

Any dipshit who knows how to solder can learn to do surface mount in 2 hours.

Sincerely, some dipshit who has gone through four entire rolls of solder

A gift from me to you

This is true.
