I still need to go through the process of creating own 3d models

have a look here

3D new library for Mechanical CAD exporting and enclosure design

Hi, after having completed kicad StepUp, the new 3D exporter for MCAD, I’m going to create a 3D mechanical lib to be used both for kicad internal 3d-viewer and for 3D mechanical interchange / collaboration and enclosure design. I’m organizing the library to be usable as easier as possible, just copying the DIRECTORIES and configuring the environment VARIABLE for kicad. I have just completed the DIR structure. The 3D models will be: parametric models coming from technical datasheet FreeCA…

a lot of models are coming

@pthor

I wonder though, is it a way to link a 3dmodel to a footprint? Or do I have to do it for each instance?

the link between footprint and 3d model can be included in the footprint library part model (.kicad_mod), and there you can also include $var
