Anyone here good with engineering drawing?

[ShockSlayer]

I could use some help. I want case cut by CNC, and I have no idea what kind of files I'm going to need to send polycase.

I have that to work with.

IF you can SOMEHOW contact Benheck, he can help.

Polycase is way expensive. LOB made some good designs, ask him.

i have cad experience. i will look into more tomorrow.

Mario could help you.

I understand it. What do you want for the case? It's really easy to make CAD drawings (similar to this) using vectorworks, that's what I used in my graphics class last year..

So what exactly do you need? I may (if I can get access to the program) be able to make a CAD drawing of it for you, if you want..

(Sorry if this post is as far away from what you were actually asking as possible, I'm tired and haven't gotten much sleep lately)..

 

[samjc3]

I have cad, and the skills to pay the bills. (i could do it in solidworks too; you should find out what kinda file they want) however, i would need to know what you want. i assume you want a thicker one, with screen and button holes already cut?

 

[Ampersand]

I have some experience. However, are you talking designs specific for a certain machine? Or just general designs?

 

[ShockSlayer]

I don't need to make it thicker, I just need to be able to show them where to cut the holes for buttons/switches/screen ect. and what sizes.

[samjc3]

ah. thats easy. measure all the buttons and your screen and post the measurements along with a layout. (i assume you want it just like the trisixtyfource?)

 

[ShockSlayer]

I'll need to make a few alterations for dual speakers, and a couple things are going other places.

I'll draw something with the basic layout, and a couple measurements, can you make it into something more suited to send them?
EDIT: You just offered to do that

Not too sure what type of file they are asking for, looks like it won't matter as long as it shows what needs to be done.

It clearly says in the video "send us a rough sketch."

So get out a piece of graph paper, draw the front of the case, draw the holes you want, and put in measurements. Looks like they make the CAD stuff for you.

Like I said earlier, send me an MSpaint of what you want, and I can draw it up in autocad.

I'm sure they'll take DWG files, as thats what they send.

 

[McBlasian]

Sounds like you don't need my help, I'll leave you guys to it then.

Can't wait to see your next portable.

 

[Basement_Modder]

SS, check your email. (the trisixtyfource one)

I sent you a screen shot of my CAD rendition of the SL-68p.

I need your stuff now.

 

[Argelfraster]

I need your stuff now.

Ooh kinky.

If this project gets finished, it will be the best N64p ever! Good luck with it.

 

[Basement_Modder]

I guess I'll put it here, too.

 

[ShockSlayer]

I never got an email. I'll PM you.

sam, I still need yours too.

Im afraid i cant find my autoCAD discs. when my dad gets home i will try to get his laptop and do it on there.

Their video says all you need is a rough sketch of what you want.
