FIRST CAD Library Down?

Is anyone else having trouble with www.firstcadlibrary.com ? I keep getting a connection timed out error, and I need some of the stuff.

Yes but there's stuff I need in IGES format, or STEP format, and stuff that isn't even in the VKoP.

Re: FIRST CAD Library Down?

Well.. Looks like Bandwidth is finally a problem at that site:

Quote:
WHOIS information for firstcadlibrary.com:

Maximum Daily connection limit reached. Lookup refused.
Looks like FIRST is growing too fast for Ed to keep up..


I have a bunch of the files saved Matt, if you need something in particular, and you know the name/part number, let me know and I will see if I still have it.

I was going to make a CD of all the parts on that site for use at the <internet connection-less CAD room at the HS>, and I started DL'ing a bunch of parts, but may not have them all..

PM me or AIM me.

Re: FIRST CAD Library Down?

If anybody has a Mechanical Desktop, Inventor, or STEP file for the pillow block bearing that has been supplied in the past, can you send it to me at don.wright@avlna.com.

Thanks a million!

It just stops me from having to use some of my very limited CAD resources drawing something that I know existed on the firstcadlibrary...

Re: FIRST CAD Library Down?

Sorry all.. For those who are seeking parts mentioned in this thread, and the PM I got. I don't have any of the things you have requested.

I have mostly kit parts.. Battery and other kit related parts.

Seems like I go through this every year about this time. I suspect the domain is messed up again. I'll contact my provider and log a trouble ticket.

Sorry all .... Shouldn't take long

Re: FIRST CAD Library Down?

I would like to know if anyone is willing to give me or send to me the virtual kit. I would greatly appreciate it! My e-mail is grantalen@sbcglobal.net. Anyone who has at least the main components please send them to me in inventor files. I would like to work with them. Even if you have the entire library, I would enjoy that much more. Either works. The only reason I want the files this way is because I can not access firstcadlibrary.com. Thank you.

Re: FIRST CAD Library Down?

I hope that everyone realizes that FIRST CAD Library is a site which Ed Sparks has been good enough to maintain for us and is not the "official" FIRST/IFI or Autodesk download site for the 2005 Virtual Kit of Parts. See my post above for the links to those sites.

And lets hope Ed's ISP gets their problem straightened out soon!

Re: FIRST CAD Library Down?

OK, so I made a list of all the parts from the FIRST CAB LIBRARY that I have.

It would be great if you knew the name of the part, or if not the name, at least show me a pic of what it looks like when you request these.

I can only do a limited amount a night, don't want to make this a full time job sending files out to people, but ask me and if I have time, I will send them to you.
PM me and I will see what I can do.
Ed, how's that trouble ticket coming along?

edit: Please note, all parts are either mostly from 2002 when I CAD'ed our bot, or only 2004 and back when I started saving a bunch of parts and files in case we needed them this year..

No 2005 parts, except existing parts from 2004 and back.
