Here is a small list of CADs I've designed so far using AutoCad, CatiaV5 and Solidworks.

3D Printer Filament Box

Created with Solidworks to be 3D printed.
I wanted to design a box for the filament of my 3D printer to keep its humidity levels to a minimum. This design also features a spring loaded door lock as well as an acrylic sheet.

Spring Loaded Door Lock

Created with Solidworks to be 3D printed.
A 3D printed spring loaded lock used to securely close the door of my filament box. Note the spring is not displayed in the pictures, only the space for it is.

Sanding Block

Created with Solidworks to be 3D printed.
A sanding block that makes it easier to grip sandpaper to hand sand parts. This designs sandwiches the sand paper with the help of a 3D printed screw.

Sample Certification Exam

Done with CatiaV5 as part of my part design certification.
The exam consisted of cading several part designs and determining their weight and center of gravity, along with some theory questions about different tools.

Valve

Done with CatiaV5 as part of my online training course.
The course in question being an introduction to CatiaV5, the final excersice as seen here was to recreate a valve using the part design and assembly modules.
