Imported the spindle carriage STL files as solid bodies (not graphic!) and began copying geometry: dimensions and key hole placement.
Extruded a rectangle over the quick attach and used the combine (subtract is inside combine) command to create the male quick attach part.
Combined and mated everything in an assembly. Not sure how simply mating the two parts will interact with being written into G-code as they are technically not connected, but maybe this will just be resolved by netfabb. Also wasn’t sure how having the old carriage hidden in the back of the assembly would react to be 3D printed so I made a large extruded cut over it (couldn’t delete it due to dependent geometry).
Here's the finished Carriage: [[File:CarriageImage1.jpg]]
