I like Tinkercad.com
And it’s my belief that Frank would like it too
Complex 3d models and mechanical designs can be built with Tinkercad with the bare minimum of CAD experience
It’s a perfect tool to boot-strap your kids and yourself on 3d modeling and printing
Simplicity of Spheres and Cylinders
When I set out to replace the unsightly old spring-post, floor molding mounted door stops I wanted both a cool factor and elegant simplicity
The two outer spheres spin freely so they roll gently across your wall when the door stop is activated – and they’re robust so they can be used as hangers
The center post is intended to be used as a hanger and is also the “last defense” to prevent the door knob from penetrating your sheet rock wall

Simple and Achievable…
It took me about 3 hours to design and draft using only Tinkercad
The design is fully “print-in-place”, meaning that everything you see in this design prints all at once as functions properly right off the printer (well, you do have to remove the minimal support material)
The concealed mounting hardware (shown for illustration in red above) is also part of the single print
The print takes about 5.5 hours on a Prusa Mk3 with a “good” quality .20mm setting
