Hello, thanks in advance for any help. I have a little project I am trying to do-- I would like to merge a “Mag quadsafe universal adapter” with a Galaxy Fold 3 case. I have both STLs and i began playing with blender yesterday, and it’s possibly a little above my head.
What it seems like the steps are from my (peprhaps simplistic) point of view:
- trim the openings on mag quad adapter to fit the camera lens and side buttons when it is perfectly centered on the case.
- delete a square the exact size of the magsafe quadlock adapter that is perfectly centered on the back of the phone case
- put the current model from the mag quad stl in thus square
The only thing I’ve been able to accomplish thus far is centering the mag quad adapter on top of the case. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to trim in to fit the camera and side button openings…
Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it’s just a starting point.

F you’re a beginner then I think my first advice to you is to not use Blender. Start with something like TinkerCad, much easier to work with, and more than adequate for what stated.

I tried with tinkercad, and I struggled. I was again able to align the shapes directly on top of one another, but when it came to modifying the actual shape I could not figure it out- is there a tutorial on adding shapes together or anything, or even csrving stuff out? I looked and couldn’t find anything this specific. It seemed like a much easier tool to use, but I couldn’t figure out how to do what I wanted

There are many YT channels about 3d printing that also cover TinkerCad. One of them is HL Modtech, this one for instance = youtu.be/gPeWdLQYfuA

I’m also a newbie that uses blender, which open source CAD tool would you recommend (if you have any experience with it)?

Don’t know any good open source. Use TinkerCad…
