Nice start! I think learning a 3D version of CAD would be pretty hard to do....
Keep us posted! Papa

is that solidworks or inventor? just a curious nerd...... if so be sure to draw outer body in sheet metal so you can flatten it later for fabrication drawings.
good luck & keep us posted..

What CAD program are you using?
There are some that are a lot easier than others.

Any questions on the clone fire away. I have made 2 so far. Prairie also a great place. My build is there also.

Nice isometric 3d frame! It appears drawn to scale and I see no gaps, which means you used your snaps.
I'm a AutoCAD Tech, I've working with CAD programs for over 12 years. Happy to see CAD being used for a better cause. Unless you have a subscription for a Autodesk product, this software was probably bought off the shelf at a Best Buy or Staples. |
