Hi Maurice,

That is a VERY nice render.

I was interested to see that mounting screws aren't included though.

I've been including mounting screws as a schematic + pcb element for years now.
It means they don't get missed on the bom, and as a side effect they are visibleĀ  in a render.

Another advantage is you can have the correct hole size and keepout areas in place for the screw, and never need to worry that you will have issues at build time.

Generally I include all parts of a build in the schematic + pcb, including enclosure, screws, standoffs, etc
It saves on time when purchasing, and building.
Especially if you are handing a design to a build house for turnkey delivery

Regards
David G

Hi,
thanks to an other happy user of my kicad StepUp tools, I'm glad to share this nice rendering made in PTC Creo (ProE) after having exported multiple kicad boards and parts with FreeCAD and kicad StepUp tools to STEP and assembled them in mechanical 3D environment

I'm attaching the picture that can be found at kicad forum

this is a nice example of ECAD MCAD co-design and collaboration in kicad with an artistic touch for realistic rendering ...

Maurice
