About: Robotics and Manufacturing Student at RIT. I try to accelerate learning through projects when I have the time. Haven't had much to share in the past few years, but hope to soon!

I recently have been rendering my designs with Fusion 360. This is very easy. In this instructable I will render my wagon design.

Step 2: Design Tips
