Printed enclosure for Arduino project + Blender Animation

Finally finished this project and I am really happy how it turned out.
I spent allot of time modeling everything in Blender. My new gadget is easy to program and satisfying to watch it work.
The video features Blender animation, 3D printing, board fabrication, project assembly & final demonstration.

Quite a show of technical prowess! Watched the full video so that I can learn some of your tricks

BTW being quite new to the game I wanted to ask - what kind of thermo isolator do you have on your hot end?
And which hotend/printer model is that? Is that PLA printing?

Also, some online CNC shops in London say the prefer files in .3dm (I wanted to have thick sheet for an Ultimaker style printer machined of 3mm or 5mm aluminium)
Do you have any idea what tool I could use to author them?
Preferable open-source

OK I see. BTW could I also please pick your mind re design software? I am still planning to order some 2d parts from an online CNC shop and those I looked at seem to prefer .3dm file (Rhino?.. whatever that is). Do you have much experience here? You mention Blender in the video but I am not sure if that would be the right tool for 2d shapes. I personally tried FreeCAD and was ok with it but it doesn't produce 3dm files..

I would not know, sorry....this would be the best place to get the info you need...

I use Rhino 3d and it's default file is 3dm. You should check their site and some youtube vids. It's very user friendly. I self taught and love it. There is a free trial version.
