I got the file and will seed it for some time.
How did you hook up the BL-Touch to the mainboard?
Thanks anyway, should save me some hours of work man :-)

Kind of dumb question here, but I was wondering how to get started with making functional designs? In particular I have something i want to make that will involve moving parts, but I've never worked with motors etc before. How do I even begin working out measurements etc? To be more specific, I want to feed objects that are about 3.5g each and roughly the same size onto a tray of sorts, use a sensor to detect the color of each object, and then feed them into different output locations. I've seen a lot of videos online that do this for skittles etc, but I was interested in making a specific design that suits my exact requirements. Any pointers on where to even start with something of this nature? I know fusion360 is probably my best bet, but besides that I'm honestly entirely out of my depth. I have experience with 3D printing but not 3D design
