Let's make this thread a place to deposit & share any CAD files that would be helpful to the BROs who dabble in such nonsence. I'll be happy to contribute any 2d or 3d files I create from now on.

I suppose this would be a good-nuff way to get started. Maybe a few months from now - we'll have enough to organize & sort them.

The only thing I can offer so ar is a vortex airfoil plot - just let me know your specs & I'll post them as they come in. Really it's no trouble for me - I can create the foil in 2 minutes - 5 minutes if the boss is watching...

Also post any off-site links you have to CAD files.

Here's the Burrito file (not CAD) I used to play with a color scheme:

Could you send me the DFX of the Burrito, I would like to create a .pdf with it.

Thanks

2 Reasons why I can't do that for you, Bro:

REASON-1 - I don't have a DXF file of Paul's Burrito. I bought the kit - now I have a paper copy of the plans. I could re-draft it to AutoCad & make a DXF for you... but...

REASON-2 - It's just wrong to take Paul's intellectual property & give it away for free - without his permission.

What I did create for myself is a 3d solid model of the Burrito - so I could play with color schemes. From that I created a BMP of the top & side views & posted it already. I could make a DXF - but I won't. (see REASON-2) The BMP is slghtly re-scaled - in one direction only - so it'a pretty-much un-useable - except for that which it was created: color schemes.

BTW - What do you need a PDF for? Maybe I can help you out with that...

Why not -upload the DXF right here? Then anybody can get to it easy - right? Of course you'll have to ZIP it first...

Sorry Tater I did not make myself clear

1. thought you had allready done this, I was looking for the outline only not the plans because of 2. I would never steal Pauls work.
I wanted the outline to set up grahics, I wanted to post this outline in .pdf so anyone without a cad progam could print the outline in small to full size.

If you guys wanna pass around the outlines, that's cool with me...

Here's a .dxf and .dwg of Chester. He's kinda small, I've just been drawing a "Spline" around the different parts and then moving the spline off to the side. You'll need to scale the splines up unless you want a itty bitty kitty.

Here's a set of drawings for the K&B 40. Same size as most 40-46 motors, so I use them in all my drawings.

but i guess thats all i need

:lol: Yeah, I found those on the net a long time ago, and changed it so it is the bottom when I draw my profile plans. I always draw them with the nose pointing left. I never did rename the file :wink:

Here's an AXI 4120. This one I drew myself to use in my upcomming secret project 8)

I went ahead and rendered the Axi for you, and included the radial mount!

See, autocad sucks. What a messed up rendering engine. That's why I use TurboCAD
