CAD source for sidepieces

[jeffh-ca]

I'm looking to modify sidepieces, and I see Fusion360/FreeCAD/etc source for centerpieces and locking spacers, but I don't see any source for the sidepieces. I'm pretty new to github -- I missing something?

I've been importing the .stls into Fusion360 and converting the meshes to solids, but I'd rather work from source, and I'd feel better about uploading modified parts if it wasn't hacked this way.

+1, I would love more Fusion files for all the part types.

Sadly, I work in SU so that's the actual source for these things. I believe f360 can import this directly.

Googling around a little, it looks like Fusion 360 can only import from SketchUp as a "mesh", which is essentially the same as importing the .stl. Not optimal, but workable.

I've really loved getting my workshop area organized with your designs -- Thanks so much for doing the hard part of the design work and sharing it! As I said, I'm new to Github, but I'll start adding some of my modified designs.

There's a bad/good reason for everything importing as a mesh - it's because that's how SU works at it's core, it's essentially an STL CAD solution (no solid modelling, everything is just edges and vertices) which in some ways makes it nice for 3d print but in most ways makes it terrible for everything. Sadly it's what I learned 20 years ago and I've dug my feet in waiting for FreeCAD to get better :D

Your setup looks flippin great!
