Re: Redimensioning in AutoCAD
Well, I used AutoCAD 2002 to draw the part. Essentially, I drew a circle of 0.25" diameter and then extruded the circle. Whether or not that changes it to a 3D or not, I have no clue. (I'll have to read the book as my prof. never discussed that stuff with us.)

As for the RP machine, it's a 3D Systems ThermoJet. Easy removal of the support structures, but no so easy to mate two parts that are "identical" in size. (ie, 1/4" bearing to 1/4" shaft)
