HydraFabber
Imported the spindle carriage STL files into Solidworks 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 won't be an issue or will just get resolved by netfabb when we go to print. Also wasn't sure how having the old carriage hidden in the back of the assembly would react to being 3D printed so I made a large extruded cut over it (couldn't delete it due to dependent geometry). Update: This actually caused some errors so I deleted the extruded cut feature and left the rectangular sketch. If you want to see the problem go to the "Imported1" feature and un-hide it.
Here's the Carriage:

Also worked on Current State July 2013 to asses/standardize the GVCS build process with staff and DPVs.
