I don't have time to draw 4 inch omni's because currently i am the only one that can use solidworks. I have b-ball practice and currently under an internship in which i draw and create signs.

Any FEA visualization software in a CAD package will enormously exaggerate the deflection. Use the colors and scale in the corner of the screen to determine actual deflection; don't eyeball it.

I work full-time with Solidworks and mentor a team, am moving and am tired, so if you're too busy to model the parts, I'm probably too busy to make the drawings.

I am sorry you do that for a living, most people are nice enough to share cad drawings. I know i have. I will use the scale for an exact reading. I posted this frame just to get some suggestions and ways to improve. Thanks for views.

Forgive me if I misconstrued my meaning. I offered to provide drawings to you of our omniwheels for your reference, but you've indicated that you're too busy to bother rebuilding models from those drawings. If you're too busy to make use of what I offered, then I won't take time from my own busy schedule to make them available.

I offered help and you turned it down. No harm, no foul, as they say, but I'm a bit dumbfounded that, not only was it unappreciated, but that you're saying I'm not nice because I didn't offer more.

My bad, i thought you were telling me make my own with no reference. Sorry, i totally misunderstood. If you could send me those drawings i would greatly appreciate them. rcthekid1323@gmail.com.

No worries.

I don't have the models at work; I will finish the drawings up when I get home tonight and will upload them to CD.

Thanks for help, really appreciated
