Nicely done! You’re far beyond my Fusion 360 skills, I’m still learning
I certainly don’t make that claim, but thanks. I’m trying, but still struggle getting things exactly how I want it in the program. You look like you’re doing just fine with the program. 3D printing sure has its advantages when it comes to RVs.

Awww! Take a bow, you smart!! bring us some new ideas
Ok, fine... I’ll share a few other things I did using a 3D printer.
When applying sound deadener on the floors of fge cab, I found an area I wanted to improve... among others. The wiring coming into the cab from underneath was poorly installed, with about half the foam used to seal the area missing. I created a portal with holes the same size as the three looms passing thru to help seal things. I also made a couple clamps to route the wiring behind the seat.
If anyone has a bunk ladder in their Redhawk, they know how uncomfortable the ladder steps are on the feet. I made three snap on caps with a much softer and more comfortable profile than the steel angle Jayco provides.
Another item I printed was a holder for the remote controllers. I found one on Thingiverse and printed it out but it didn’t fit my remotes.
The software and running the printer is, in my opinion, the easy part. Coming up with a design that looks good and is functional is the hard part.

I Love the prints you've come up with I especially like the step covers. Can you post the files or load them to thingiverse. With so many 3d innovations. The should be some place we can share them in this forum.
So I just realized that we can upload ZIP files to this forum. So I grabbed my AC mod files and zipped them up. If somebody could try downloading it and unzip and see if your slicer will open them OK.....if this works, then we can upload STL files here that way.
I just printed these up! Thank you so much for modeling these.

I know, this has little to do with RV's but It sure dovetails to what you have posted here. Our daughter and boyfriend have been vacationing in San Juan for a week and just got back, so they just gave me a couple of father's day gifts a few days late. He is a professor at the community college, and one of the things he teaches is 3D printing technology. he made this for me. It is a holder for AR-15 magazines. I may sign up to his course to learn this stuff, very neat.
I'm on my 5th spool of PLA, printing all kinds of things but here are a couple I designed for my camper. It is a base mount and bezel for mounting the marker lights. The rear lights have the hooded bezel and the front/side lights have the short bezel. I did not install yet. The reason I did this is to make a better seal to the side wall where the wires exit. I plan to seal the wire hole with Eternabond and then mount the bezel and new LED markers. I want to solder/heat shrink the connections and tuck the wiring into the cavity in the mount. Its probably overkill but after the rotted wood repair I just did I don't trust much of anything that comes out of the factory, especially after 17 years.
I use Mechanical Desktop 5 (a very old Autodesk product) mostly. I know it like the back of my hand. I also use Solidworks (currently 2020) but it is not as easy for me. For the slicer I use the Cura version supplied by Creality. There is an updated version but this one is working well.

You’ll want to print that in ABS or PETG if using outdoors. PLA will break down in the sunlight, quite quickly I believe.
I paint/seal all of my PLA parts that will be used outdoors. They have held up. Higher heat applications need ABS. I printed some dryer vent slats for a co-worker. The PLA ones lasted 15 minutes while the ABS ones are still going strong. The ABS is tougher to print as it tends to lift when not using a raft.
This is all a work in progress so we will see how all this holds up over time.
In today's world of information technology it is important to have custom software development service like https://mlsdev.com/services/it-staff-augmentation. You must develop proper strategies to utilize custom software development solutions to get your work done efficiently. Custom software development services are implemented to solve business problems in an efficient manner. Many times this proves to be a cost saving measure and more importantly a time saving one. This is the reason why more organizations are using custom software solutions for their business.
Rick - did you get hacked or are you a part time biz development person?
This is a great idea for a thread. I hope to see more RVers taking advantage of this technology. I have done a few pieces for my 2020 Jayco Redhawk 31F. Like others, I did a version of the AC mod, including cleaning up the roof ducting and retaping everything. It helped a lot. I still have to test it out on a hot day, but the vents actually blow in the rear bedroom now. I will add pictures of some other items I printed when I get pics.
I like your design. I want to do something like this. We have a 2021 Entegra Odyssey 31F.
Could you please add a link to your STL files. Thanks.

I like your paper towel holder.
Did you design that in Tinkercad or something else?
I need to change out the one we have an that one looks ideal.
New to 3d printing but printed Benchy, a holder for rear camera monitor for the truck and a simple holder for cpap tubing.
Using Ender 3 V2 with pla so far. lot of learning to do with design software.
I was reading posts of rodent control and decided to whip up a bait station that uses the cube style blocks. NOT child or pet proof, please use common sense when placing.

Here is my latest print. I had a overhead cab light fail on our Seneca and when I removed it, I discovered that Jayco installs and seals the lights before painting so when you remove a light, it’s gray gelcoat under it. It was a very odd size and shape and I could only find the same cheap replacement. So I decided to design my own base that would cover the same area/shape and use the same mounting holes. I designed them to use the sealed 3/4” press in LED lights so replacements would be easy to get if one ever failed. I printed them using ASA which is great of outdoor stuff and after printing I used the acetone vapor method to smooth and shine the print. Got them installed last week and they worked great. The pic next to the original light was the first design, I went through about 3 designs till I got it how I liked it.

Absolute admiration, wish it was something that I even knew where to start.
