My mind.
I design "old school" (hand-drawn parts) but with new school technology.

Seriously. I design things in my head.
I picture the model...break it into components and smaller structures.
I imagine how it might unfold or assemble (in my mind).
Then I start drawing 2D parts in Coreldraw.
I work solely in CorelDraw.

I use a lot of math and measures to correct the drawings.
Eventually I print a part and test build it.
If it doesn't work, I adjust it, modify it or completely redesign it.

Sometimes I add the colours, and surface details as I design.
But sometimes I just "white build".

I do use a software that helps me with complicated conical parts
(those parts I need to build domes, and tapering tubes, etc)
but other than that I don't use any 3D software.
