been 3d printing during my recovery. modeled and printed some shelves to hold my skis on my wall, made some stuff to hold skate decks on my wall, and some other stuff
Thegenericskieroh sweet i've been using fusion for 4 years
Started using fusion a few months ago, so I'm still pretty new to the software. Just used tinkercad before to print stuff at my local library on their ultimaker.

fusion is amazing, I was using freecad when i first started. learning curve is a little weird though. what printer did you get?
finderJust got a 3d printer. Currently designing a mounting jig with some integrated mechanism to center the jig on the ski.
You could probably just calculate the hole measurements and print a static / fixed jig every time you need to mount a pair of skis; it would only cost a couple of bucks. Idk why I never thought of this with mine. I just printed a new ski vice that works amazing for tuning / waxing.
I used to be wayyy into 3d printing, built my first printer in 2015 from a kit.
Companies started getting undercut by China pretty soon after and a lot of them went under sadly. Kinda miss it now that I see this, might have to get another

You can print mechanisms like this one in one piece. I figure with a spring or something, I can use it to center the jig on the ski, and then maybe clamp the jig to the ski. Maybe a vertical drop down on the ends so it can grab the sides of the ski.

You could probably print a custom lead screw that reverses the pitch in the center of the jig. That way both ends would travel the same amount while only adjusting 1 parameter. I linked a video that may serve as inspiration. You have my brain fired up so I am going to design and print a prototype tonight. https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/969191/IMAO-Anemo-Engineering-CENTERING-CLAMP
