that is an absolutely incredible cad job. I'm curious what software you use and how long all those renders took.
|
I used Autodesk Inventor 2011 for this model and this was my very first sheet metal drive train. I rendered it in Autodesk Showcase and since I didn't really know what I was doing when I made these renders they are actually VERY low quality! They only took about a minute or so to make!

Oh. My. Goodness. I don't think there is a word in any language that can describe this CAD model...
How long did it take?
|
The entire model since it was my first drive train ever took about a month total with something like 3-4 Iterations However it could have taken a much less time but I was pretty busy during that time so it was very much neglected for a while.

You may want to consider swapping which wheel you have articulate. If I understand these pictures correctly, right now you have your traction wheels on the jump drive, which means if you take a lateral hit while in traction mode you risk trashing your modules.

Yes they do tilt on the mecanum shafts, and if we were going to actually build this now It would be updated a ton! However I really like my choice of the Cylinders!

They are purdy and actually really light compared to the other ones I was going to get!
