I’m using Fusion360, and trying to make changes to .stl files.

I would like to know what your preferred way to make changes to print files is. For instance, I was trying to combine a clamp and a cup holder and dealing with the resulting mesh files is pretty frustrating.

If there’s any guides or videos on how this is generally done, that would be helpful as well.

    I had some luck with this yesterday.

    Attempt #1 was editing in blender, and it took 3h to get the file to slice correctly (I needed to remesh in blender sculpting tools to get the overlapping shapes to work).

    Attempt #2 was importing the STL in openscad and doing a union() of the two objects. That worked perfectly the first time and took 20min. (But it was way more annoying to pick exactly the right number to translate all the shapes around)
