I need some help.............and no, I don't mean professional help so lets just get that over with write now..... :laughing:
yea,
Believe it or not... I need some help guys....I am strapped for time and don't have the time write now to educate myself with this type of cad drawing, little complicated........
Dimensions are self explanatory... I need this in DXF format... Plasma cutter .....
Helical turbine spokes....
I am not expecting this for free, so.... if you think your up to it, and inform me what the CFPM of green paper that is going to be getting sucked out of my wallet....let me know and send me a PM....
OK Brian. Gotta ask you about your dimensions. You have 5½" inside dia. and 7" outside dia. but you say 1½ thick. It's only 3/4". Is this what you want? 3/4" thick webs?
And I assume you just want lines and arcs, not a 3d mesh file correct? Just being cut on a 2.5 axis table?
Kent,
thank you, -:thumbup: I will gladly pay you for your time, this has to be dead on as far as the specks.. no- everything is 1-1/2" "wide"- forget the depth...that's dependent on the Plasma cutter setup...not to worry about that... just talking wire frame, 2 dimensional object....... the helical turbine spokes , the center hub, and the outside radius... are all 1-1/2WIDE- not the projection or depth...
I always think of corbels,,, width, height, and projection or depth, maybe this doesn't apply to 3d cad, but the latter you can forget about.....:thumbsup::laughing:
let me know what you want if your interested, i do not expect this for free and I won't take it free..:no:.. Are you smelling the stuff I am stepping in.......:laughing:
I'm not that ****ing cheap. What you think I am...a hack or something? :laughing:
So Brian....you want 5½" diameter for your axis diameter, but your outside will be 8½"? Just making sure...your drawing is off. I fully expect to have use of the said bandsaw whenever I feel like it :laughing:
OK...try this again with 1½" ribs. Anything else your highness? :laughing:
This should be exactly what he needs. CNC's and plasma cutters need ars and lines and that's all. This was a file I had for me when I was doing the cnc stuff. Very small files.
just what I have writen there... 5-1/2 inside of hub, 7" outside of hub... it's all 1.5 " all - everything.........rim.helical turbine spokes, inside hub- :thumbsup:
JAy.,......you be nice and SHUT YOUR DAM CAKEHOLE!!!!!!!:laughing:
You sure this is what it is supposed to look like? Looks fat to me. I think that's the kind of chicks you like though. Ba dump bump :laughing: I can run it in my mechanical engineering software and do a stress analysis if you like.
I tried this in chief architect. It worked but was unable to remove the cad lines where the spokes intersect the wheel. What software are you using to create it?
You don't have a trim command? Just about any CAD program could do this. One could do it in SketchUp even, but cnc's can be rather picky, especially with a dxf export. They require full length lines and arcs, not segments or open ended paths. The cnc will just say "error" most times.
Brian, it took me just a few minutes. Relax dude. Buy me a beer sometime.
Focking A Brian. You are messing up linear with circular. 7" diameter - 5½" diameter does equal 1½", but you have 2 sides of the circle...a left and a right....or a top and bottom....or a whatever and whatever. Two thicknesses. You will have a 3/4" thick rib, I promise you, if you want those measurements you are showing.
Anyway Brian....the first zip file is 3/4" thick ribs. The second one (Moak2) is the 1½" thick ribs. That looks too fat for me, but it may be what you are going for. Have a reference link of some sort? Where'd you get the pic from?
Besides....the plasma guy should no doubt be able to draw something like what I did in no time.
ahhhhhh, \
insert foot in mouth.......:blink: :laughing: I see what your saying.....
sorry,,,,
nothing to send my way....reverse that.... :laughing:
1-1/2" K man......
I appologise for my stupidity....
DAmit....:laughing:
So please pm me, I owe you for your time, I know it was easy for you, but i would have spent days on this.,.... yes, I am challanged that way.....:laughing:
For anyone wanting to know my process of how I drew this in CAD.
5.5" Radius circle axis point 0,0
8.5" radius circle axis point 0,0
34.25" radius circle axis point 0,0
31.25" radius circle axis point 0,0
random arc that looked good :laughing:
offset arc 3/4" each side
trim and extend to the terminating circles
a polar array of 7 legs, 360° (obviously)
trim out all the little lines
save as dxf
zip file
upload
smoke a bowl
done
You have no idea how much time Kent saved me, ....none.....
"time being burned=money going out the back door" ..KEnt shut the door..... and he's being compensated....weather he likes it or not...,,
