Question Stealthburner CAD files

[Jacques]

I would like to make small changes (support for a BIQU Smart Filament Sensor for instance) to the Stealthburner burner, are there F3D source files available for mods ?

No F3D, as the dev team uses a mix of many CAD packages, most of them not compatible with Fusion's proprietary file format. However, they are all compatible with the STEP file format, which is the one available on Github: https://github.com/VoronDesign/Voron-Stealthburner/tree/main/CAD

I understand but STEP files are a pain to modify. I don't mind which CAD package to use but recreating the Stealhburner part from scratch doesn't make sense since these must exist already.

I think you're confusing step with stl. *step* files are fine and easy to modify in most cad packages

Yes step files are a bit easier to modify but still made of "large" polygons not easy to handle in rather complicated design as the Stealthburner front plate. A vector based design would be less complicated, if not easier, to modify in Solidworks, Fusion3360 or whatever.
