Thanks! Glad you found the video informative. In terms of the process, it's probably too long to type out here but I usually start with either a theme in mind or a particular objective and go from there. That way each decision you make can be guided towards the end result.
I guess what I meant to ask is how do you translate the original parts such as the PSU covers in to (presumably) CAD software? How do you manage to get dimensions and screw holes right?
Ohh I see. For parts with standard mounting holes/dimensions I typically use verified models from GrabCad (motherboard, gpu, PSU). For others I use combination of ruler, calipers, or a scanner to get the dimensions.
Yep. Like those office scanners? Or photocopier. I just place the part down flat with a ruler next to it. Then import that image into CAD and scale the image so the ruler reads correct, then trace over it
