3D Models of Adafruit Parts on Github

We’re (slowly) building a catalog of 3d models of various adafruit boards, parts and components. We put together a repo on github with all of our models – they’re available to download. They’re in the .f3D format, which is a native format from Autodesk Fusion 360. These contain sketches, solids and parametric timeline so they’re fully editable. Most of the board models are direct DXF imports from Lady Ada’s eagle cad files, which are also available on github (in their own repos respectively). If you use a different CAD package, the parts can be exported out of fusion 360 in many different CAD file formats (step, solidworks, sketchup, stl, etc.).

Just a FYI, Autodesk Fusion 360 is still free to download. Use the education/maker license. Here’s a special link they gave us for folks to use.

And if you are new to fusion 360 and interested in 3d modeling, I have a video playlist of tutorials I’ve made. Here’s the link to the youtube playlist.

Should we also include STLs of each part? Do you have any models you’d like to contribute? What model should we make that isn’t available? Let us know in the comments!
