In this long format video I'm showing you how to design a very simple antenna winder with room for a SO-239 connector using Fusion 360.

This is not a full Fusion 360 guide, but it touches on the basic points needed to make 2D sketches, extrude them to a 3D model, adding holes and then exporting everything to an STL for 3D printing.
