that is one beautiful wheel, add some traction and you are ready to go.

I'm searching for some red rough top Nitrile. Thanks btw. =)

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

Red might be tough but you can get black roughtop. Or you could always use some type of linotex tread that is red. It also has an even higher coF

Nice CAD, the tutorials uploaded on the site are helping. lol.

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

Definitley helped. I finished that tread I was thinking of.

Looks like you're picking it up real quick!

btw, am I imagining things, or is the perspective backwards? (ie the front of the wheel should look larger than the back, not as it is now)

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

I'm not sure how solidworks does it, but in Inventor the default 3d view is some sort of parallel view rather than an accurate 3d perspective.

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

That wheel is in Orthographic view, instead of Perspective. Different designers prefer different views.

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

yea it's real easy to change this in solid works, and it becomes kinda unsettleing in larger parts and assemblies. But, it's almost required for doing any acutal geometry or sketches if you want to refrence edges correctly.

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

We were taught by our robotics teacher and mentor to work with orthographic projections..so I didn't really notice any difference.

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

Yeah. For sketches and working with small parts, I don't mind it. But I CANNOT work with it in an assembly of >4 parts... It just bugs me too much. I'm a spatial thinker, so seeing CAD in perspective makes me happy. :)

Square inside corners make me cringe.

Re: pic: First time with CAD 2
 

I agree with Art--try to get rid of the sharp corners in the triangular material savers, especially those nearest the center. Stress will concertrate in those corners and could result in fracture. Always use blends whenever possible.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. =) Appreciate it.
