Hi Vincent,

Just about any 3D modeling software will work for this service. You just need to create a design and export it as an STL. I would recommend Fusion360 for this, but there are lots of options out there. You could even just grab an STL off of Thingiverse if you like and we could print that!

Thanks for asking this question. Didn’t even know this service was available.  
Shows how much I have investigated the Core Electronics pages. Too much information … LOL

Most of my projects are made to fit in whatever Jiffy boxes the local electronics shop has available.  
With some modification using a Dremel like tool. Will look into this for future projects. Kool.
