I have really enjoyed the recent video collection showing how to draw an electric motor. Several of the techniques have improved the way I work no end. Inspired I decided to draw the hot end on my new backup 3D printer which is currently waiting for assembly.
The work flow was easy:-
1 Pick the part up and measure it
2 Draw it on the iPad
3 Have a coffee
4 Repeat the cycle
Unlike my other projects there was no creative thought needed because it was just an exercise in drawing. However, I gained a much better knowledge of the way the parts worked together, and in the process developed ideas to improve the cable management on the machine. I now have a very accurate model which I will use to design my own attachments.
Thanks Tommy
The printer I have been using is a JGAurora A3 it’s about 2 years old. I have just purchased a second one as a back up which is why I have the parts laying on my bench ready for assembly.
The pictures were set up in reverse. The last picture was taken first then without moving the point of view I turned off the groups in order show the internal details.
It’s an old trick we use when we are showing our clients the drawings of the gardens we install.
I am trying to finish my grandchildren’s dinosaur pavilion at the moment if I get chance I will do the exploded picture after that.
Kind regards
Paul
