I’ve been designing a front hub for my motorcycle (chopper) for quite a while now, and I think I might have the design about finished.
Hopefully we’ll start machining it in the next week or so.
I modeled the spokes, Akront 21” rim, and vintage Firestone tire that I’ll be running to get a good idea of how it will all look assembled.
I’m excited to make this thing a reality, and it was all done in Shapr3D
AR preview and export has helped me visualize things like handlebars, exhaust… really anything I can come up with. It makes it so much easier to communicate a design.
Hello, I’ve had the pro version for several months and have significant problems using the software to do anything worth while. I’m a 75 year old mechanical engineer who has been around most 3D design packages since the 80’s . I have not been able to have it click in my mind. I mastered auto cad 2 d years ago But never had a job that allowed me to actually operate the software, now I’m determined to use it . I think I need a close by coach or a dedicated course or a written Manuel to get me into the necessary mindset. Do you have either of these two? If not what other ideas do you have to help me?
Live dangerously. Lost my front tire grip at 70 in a 25 at 17. 60 now I feel like 80. Careful having fun. Most of your stopping power is in the front… but you know that.
After several months a friend of mine had the opportunity at his work to begin machining it for me. I was able to export it from Shapr right there on the spot, and make design tweaks on the fly as needed.
That’s really beautiful, you’re clearly an artist at heart. Wish I had that level of dedication, but life here is very busy and still excellent. Thanks for showing such quality results!
