HN is a great place to learn non-trivial things about trivial things, and that’s why I like it. My comment won’t add much to the discussion, but I just wanted to say that I learned something new today about a trivial topic I thought I already understood. Thank you, HN, for the great discussion thread.
1.How to CAD Almost anything in Solidworks from MIT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCfxQDCIZr0&list=PLxiALKuvAo... from the same channel, you can watch different softwares like onshape,fusion360,NX. https://www.youtube.com/@anex610/playlists 2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sSgkW0MhBw&list=PLROUP1bV8R... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tRznYbRaJ39XZNVYdS04eQiWDwE...
For exercises:
1.Download 2d drawings of model engines, model them in CAD software and also the drawings you got from the website are manufacturable. https://outerzone.co.uk/plans.asp?cat=Engines
2. Grabcad,thingverse(for 3d printing).
