Beth,
I will get a list of needed parts for those assemblies I sent you. But what you could post is that people will need the fasteners downloaded and the parts list on the Assembly guides for that assembly.
I will try to get you those list today as well as some jpgs of the missing images.
Great job on the page. Thank you for doing this.
Nick
I am guessing you are the one who did the all the brackets? The biggest thing I saw is that all of your sketches where not constrained. I don’t have the dims for those parts so I could not tell if they are correct or not. But they all seemed to line up in the assemblies I built. You can take a look at ASB-21, I built that from Jim’s drawing. It show how I like to build models and is how I build the one for my job. The only I did not do was use the sheet metal in SolidWorks. When using that option the parts seems to grow in file size by 2. So I went thru and removed all sheetmetal option and stayed with a basic model.
If you go thru the tutorials that SolidWorks has built in you will pick up alot. Basicly you want all sketches fully constrained, keep you sketches as simple as possible, but don’t create a feature for every hole. combine liked sizes holes in on sketch.
I’ll post another mesage about how I am creating some of the lexan parts for Jim.
No problem. I was just stating that I converted them for people to use in “other” CAD programs. I was lucky enough to have a neighbor that has SW so i could convert the files so i could play with them in AutoDesk Inventor.
Ok, I found some stuff I needed when i was making my spider 3D model,put didnt have, and that if people have these as 3D models, it would be cool if you could share.
HD Servo Hinge for Standard Servos
(Maybe more, but only still on legs)
Also, if anyone has the following:
Pillow Blocks
More Lexan Parts
Sprockets for tank treads
Tank treads
I realize that some of this is proprietry and copywritted, so just let me know if this can’t be done.
Also, If you only have dimension’s, I’m willing to try and make the 3D drawing.
Some format common to the most software would be desirable, such as .DXF and .IGES formats. I believe these two formats are very widely used and importable by many different software packages.
Ok, I’ve added MYKL’s model of the SSC-32 to the 3D Models Download page. It is available in more formats than I know what to do with. ;D
Please let me know if there are any problems downloading these files. I had to add the mime types, and the only one I could really find was for .igs files…
Also, please note the category under which the SSC-32 resides. You’ll have to add the new directory “Electronics” to your folder structure.
Apparently the .STEP files do not store more than one possible configuration as the Solid Works .SLDPRT files can. So, there is only one of the aluminum channels available at present in .STEP format. I’m using the .STEP files to import into Alibre Design because they seem to import better than the IGES files do. Could we get the rest of the aluminum channel pieces in STEP format please?
As it turns out, I found somebody to convert the files for me, so I have all the channel piece models in STEP format now. Where do I send the archive??
