Just got into resin 3d printing still learning Fusion 360 would like to make better blocks for my Heller Victory anybody know where I can get a stl files for blocks for free on buy these files so I can make my own for personal use only I would appreciate it.
 
I am old factionally cutting my blocks from boxwood. Interesting what you are going to get by printing them by 3D resin. When you get a picture of finished block, I will post mine to compare. My HMS Victory blocks ate 1:90, so will be quite comparable by size.
 
Work in progress still getting used to Fusion 360 been using Autodesk programs for 30 plus years but for architecture 3d modeling is different but I will get it when I do I will post pictures.
 
These blocks look perfect download is free can resize to any size I want in the slicer program I will still try to draw up in Fusion 360 but will print some up tonight to see how they come out will post with pics when done. Thanks a lot for info.
 


Images look amazing. I do not have a printer but downloaded the files anyways. Maybe one day....

You may want to try your local library! My library has a modern Bambu 3D printer and a laser cutter that you can rent the time for a very low price.

Those look great, Piter, thanks very much! I'm not sure I want to have blocks made, but at the least I'll be using the Duck/Cleat STL. Decent cleats can get really expensive, so those will work out great. A suggestion to the modeler: Add a pin extending out the bottom for more secure fastening. Not 2 pins, which are hard to drill matching spaced holes, but just one.
