I’m just a hobbyist 3D user but I feel like I have good experience, been using Autodesk Inventor then Fusion since early high school…

I saw the level of detail in the model and am shocked. If this is truly their first experience with CAD/CAM they are a natural.

For example - here’s my home built camera. It’s massively more simplistic: https://blog.maxg.io/phase-one-swc/

BTW, if you want to design some models for 3D printing but the only thing you know to do is to code, you can use OpenSCAD & program the obejcrs into existence:

Also recommend using the BOSL2 library with OpenSCAD - it turnes an already very powerful tool into something insane:

Wow super cool. I’ve always wanted a Hasselblad SWC, but now I think I want what you built even more ;)

It may be simplistic, but that's a cracking photo you've taken on it.
