Big Request

if anyone have any bass design made in AutoCad i would ask you to please share them with me.

Thans in advance!! Matej

man, why would someone give you their design? If you have AutoCAD, why don't you just draw your own?

 

[matej4444]

i dont have autocad and it would take few months to get good in it. iam not asking for any " special" designs. im looking for any standard bass shapes (jazz, p, jag, streamer,grabber,ray,...) which are hobby made and a man who made them have no special purpose for them.

I would have done it for you in Solid Works, but my student version ran out a few months ago.

If any of you have Linux there are plenty of free, open source 3D editors. Try one of them

Why don't you just sketch it by hand then? If you don't have CAD, then a CAD model will be useless to you and, unless you have NC capability, you will have to print it on paper to transfer it to wood. So, just as well to sketch it up on paper.

 

[matej4444]

because i would cut the wood in CNC machine and owner of CNC said that i have to get design in CAD file.

That makes sense then. Seeing how you can't use CAD, I suggest you ask the CNC operator for details of what format the file needs to be in, and whether anything special needs to be done with it. e.g. does it need to be an ACAD dwg format? dxf? IGES? Any entities that will cause problems with the NC code? Will splines work, or do they need to be plines? Do you need to keep segment lengths above a certain minimum? Does he want 2D CAD with depth info or full 3D?

 

[matej4444]

he said CAD file saved in CAD 2007. other doesnt matter because he have to write for CNC in other program which is made for that type of CNC. but design have to be in any CAD form so he can "translate" it to CNC "language". only thing he ask is that measurements are correct.

Cardboard is a good option too. It's more 3D than paper.
