I'd like to create a "shadow" gridfinity box for my fisher bullet pen. Shadow boxes are often made of foam so that one can immediately see which tool in a drawer is missing.
Something like this:
I have found a 3d model of the pen on grabcad and tried to use that model to cut the shape of the pen out of a solid body.
The slot for the pen should be centered inside the solid body. Something like this:
Sadly, I haven't figured out the following problems given the 3d model files from grabcad.
1. I haven't figured out a way to align the pen so that it is centered to the sides of the solid
2. The model of the pen is accurate, which means that the pen is actually hollow. I have tried to join both bodies in F360 via the "combine" command, but kept ending up with two separate bodies for the pen
3. I've tried to find a way that allows me to create a simple body that follows the outer shape of the pen so that I can cut the solid with it, but haven't figured out how this could be done in F360.
I have been pulling my hair out on this problem for several hours now, but still haven't found a solution.
Maybe someone in this community can help?
Suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
