Model a Cassette in Plasticity

CAD for artists and designers-Plasticity! If you haven't had the pleasure of playing with this powerful yet simple CAD modeling tool, you are missing out.
In this video I run through my process for modeling a cassette tape. The techniques learned in this video can be used to build an infinite number of models... you're only limited by your imagination!

Pro tip: if you're using this tool on a laptop, go to the preferences and change the input to "touchpad".

Bit of a cop out not including the label process.. why not do a part 2 with label ..and rotate it in a loop or sumthn 👽

[@cre8-or-die]

Good feedback @drpepa09, I’ll do that! I meant to include the label process but I forgot to start recording and so I bagged it. But you’re right, it’s a bit of a bait and switch. Thanks again!
