You can also grab the files directly <a href="http://diylilcnc.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/DIYLILCNC_v103_DXF.zip">here</a>.</p> <p>Mess with the material and let me know if any problems/requests pop up. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files/page/2#post-871 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 13:06:22 +0000 Flanders 871@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Hy there. I have serious problems to use the dxf Files in Autodesk Inventor or in AutoCAD i am using the 2012 Version. Did someone have these Files in dwg or in a working dxf file??<br /> Thanks </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-515 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 19:29:38 +0000 Jacques 515@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@tkluysk Thanks for the complements :)<br /> I started with the most recent (as of maybe a month ago) DXFs and converted them to solid models. From there I tweaked the outlines to fix the y-belt problem and make a few lines square. I started out working parametrically but I ran into computer speed/Solidworks reliability issues (crashing every 5 minutes and 10 minute rebuilds proved too much for me)</p> <p>As it stands now they are separate pieces (with a few exceptions) I'm thinking next round should go through with a better system and link all the sloth widths etc. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-509 Wed, 26 May 2010 11:06:00 +0000 tkluysk 509@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@Chris: thanks again for the Rhino model. I read on the download page that it doesn't reflect the latest fixes, so I'll probably re-model from the latest drawings, and use whatever parts I can salvage from the Rhino model (bearings etc).</p> <p>@Jaques: is that what you did for the Solidworks model? Start from the latest DXFs I mean. Beautiful work bytheway!</p> <p>I can't open Solidworks file at this time, so I wonder: is the file parametric? Ie if you change the line drawing, does the corresponding 3D part change along with it? Is there a single template slot that changes all slots on the model? </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files/page/2#post-508 Tue, 25 May 2010 08:03:42 +0000 Jacques 508@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I recently completed a Solidworks 2009 version (down to the nuts and bolts) available in the download section with the explanation and a couple changes (fixing the y belt holes, etc.) at <a href="http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/">http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/</a></p> <p>Here's the image:<br /> <img src="http://betaorbust.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/DIYLILCNC.jpg" /></p> <p>All the best,<br /> Jacques </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-505 Thu, 20 May 2010 22:10:10 +0000 Chris 505@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Gorgeous!! </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-504 Thu, 20 May 2010 21:37:08 +0000 Jacques 504@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I just completed a Solidworks 2009 version (down to the nuts and bolts) available in the download section with the explanation and a couple changes (like fixing the y belt holes) at <a href="http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/">http://betaorbust.com/blog/2010/05/17/diylilcnc-now-in-3d/</a></p> <p>Here's the image:<br /> <img src="http://betaorbust.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/DIYLILCNC.jpg" /></p> <p>All the best,<br /> Jacques </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-484 Sun, 09 May 2010 09:08:03 +0000 tkluysk 484@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Rhino would be perfect! Thanks! </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-481 Sat, 08 May 2010 18:44:33 +0000 Chris 481@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>@tkluysk, we have a model in Rhino (.3ds) format that we use for rendering and visualization. Not sure how it'll transfer to DXF, but I'll send you an attachment. Let me know if it's useful and maybe we'll post it in the downloads section for others. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/seeking-assembled-3d-model#post-479 Sat, 08 May 2010 00:33:28 +0000 tkluysk 479@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>[reposting this under its own topic]</p> <p>I am interested in the assembled 3D model. I'd like to use it to visualize a length modification, and maybe to help me with the conversion to metric.</p> <p>I come from a film background, so I'm not very familiar with CAD packages. I work in Maya/Houdini/3D Max. Preferred formats would be DXF (3D), OBJ, or FBX. As long as grouping/hierachy is preserved. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/where-are-the-cad-files#post-469 Sat, 01 May 2010 01:31:02 +0000 tkluysk 469@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I am interested in the assembled 3D model.

Keep us posted as you make more progress.</p> <p>BTW, I cleaned up those code dumps from the img/youtube embeds, hope you don't mind. I'll try to set up the forum so we can accept video embeds at some point. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/x-axis-stepper-loud-rough-and-noisy/page/2#post-338 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 09:29:20 +0000 DIYengineer 338@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>I guess the youtube embed code does not work in the forums. opps! check the link instead. </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/x-axis-stepper-loud-rough-and-noisy#post-337 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 09:27:49 +0000 DIYengineer 337@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Link:<br /> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w5pCUCzs3U" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-w5pCUCzs3U</a></p> <p>RE-soldered all joints.
