This is the second half where I finish the routing issues and upload to OSH Park PCB fab service. This is an "in the field" video, so there is a lot of unplanned snags and general pondering, but as I said in the Part 1 text, I feel this is good for those that are new to PCB design to see the process. Or just watch along and yell at me while I make dumb mistakes..
KiCad is a powerful open source EDA tool (Electronic Design Automation) that I feel is amazing for what I need to do. There are tons of tutorials online and a very helpful community.
OSH Park is a community PCB service. They take your files, wait to get enough orders to fit a full panel, and then send them out to fab. This keeps the cost low and creates a great way for prototypers and hobbyists to test their designs. It does take around a month, so keep that in mind.

Side note, I'm still using Kdenlive for my video editing. I've use Premiere for many years, but recently I've made the decision to buckle down and go open source as much as possible. Kdenlive is a little awkward comparatively, but as time passes I'm becoming more comfortable with it and the latest updates have helped.

This is a short and sweet look at the Rib and Slot tools without as much detail and conversation as in the full training area.

Short update showing the case design in CAD, talk about assembly concerns and the ongoing nature of the project. The design will likely change after assembly and/or building another unit with the design changes.

This is a short class topics review of the KiCad schematic editor. This is part 1 of 2 toward shipping off a simple PCB for manufacturing. Essentially a short version of the previous full length videos in this series.

Designing the Base Sides
* After the first video I decided to cut future videos into smaller pieces. Elements that go together will have a point version in the title (2.1, 2.2, etc)
This series is about learning to design assemblies in CAD for 3d printing on an IDEX (Independent Dual Extruder) printer. This covers designing the needed parts for printing along with various real bearings and fasteners that need to be added in in order to get the proper fit for the printed parts.
A core concept of this program is how you design a complex assembly of parts for which you have no documentation or dimensions. As if it didn't exist and you have no reference.

This is a fairly old video I had laying around. Sorry for the lack of commentary. Also I normally I don't like just drop music over the top but it felt better than dead air.
Some of the key point here are getting the resin jammed deep into the delammed area and clamping well. Protect the board thoroughly because resin goes everywhere, and have some good tools to sand away the excess when dried.
