Thread 64466986

Happy Halloween, /k/. I posted in here a week or two ago in search of archived blueprints, and one of you beautiful anons (indirectly) bestowed upon me the French 1892 revolver's original drawings. Finally got around to starting the process of turning them into CAD yesterday, and figured I'd share progress.

Hope all my fellow archivists are having a lovely Halloween.

Nice work anon.
What's the longterm plan? Gonna make one yourself?

>>64466986 (OP)
that's really fucking neat, anon

>>64466986 (OP)
i think that was me. good work anon, happy to help. what software are you using and how did you learn CAD?

Long term, I'd love to make one, but for now, I'm just archiving. I'm a machinist by trade, but my home tooling is far from being able to make these parts.

Infinite thanks to you, anon. I use Fusion 360, and I'm almost entirely self-taught. Learned the super basics of Autodesk Inventor in an engineering class in high school, and made the jump to Fusion when my student key for Inventor ran out- which is funny, because Fusion blows inventor's doors off.

>Fusion blows inventor's doors off
I thought iventor was the cream of the crop

Maybe for some people- but for me, Fusion is king.

>>64466986 (OP)
awesome
anons should send you more blueprints and suck your dick for making them public

Fusion is utter garbage compared to Inventor.
The file/assembly structure and always online bullshit make it horrible to use.

>>64468933
The always-online thing does bug me... but the money I save running Fusion instead of Inventor soothes that particular ache pretty quickly.

nobody tell him you can pirate software
