sw33ney Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Hi everyone, just found this forum today seems to be the best one for cad around anyways was just to ask for some advice im studying cad at college for a HNC and am ready to do my graded unit project although i cant think of what i am going to draw, would be very helpfull if anyone could come up with some suggestions and wether to use autocad or autodesk inventor, I am into my music sides of things and enjoy dj'ing would like to draw something of that sort anyway would be very much appreciated if you could give me any suggestions/help thanks very much S:) Quote
hotrodz0321 Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 what is the criteria for the project? Quote
ReMark Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 Welcome to the CADTutor forum sw33ney. How about designing a high-tech turntable? Quote
sw33ney Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 thanks for replying yeah im thinking about doing that but im not sure how to go about it? dont want to start opening up my turntables they cost me alot! would be much appreciated if you reply thanks! Quote
ReMark Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 I'm replying but even if you asked real nice I wouldn't go and take apart my Technics turntable for you. LOL I've had it for quite some time and I do "loves" the way my vinyl sounds on it! I might have a tech manual on it but I doubt it would show an exploded view. I guess with Inventor you really need to do something with moving parts. How about a clockworks? Lots of gears and ratchetes (?). Quote
sw33ney Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 lol yeah i have the same im gonna think about it and its hard to find an exploded view of the turntable although i appreciate your advice and will think about it over the next few days thanks ! Quote
ReMark Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 How simple or complex does this have to be? Simple: Quick acting hold down clamp. Complex: Oscillating fan. Quote

ReMark Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 soleary: I could ask the same of you. I sleep every now-and-then when the need arises. Vampires are like that. Quote
sw33ney Posted November 25, 2008 Author Posted November 25, 2008 it can be as simple as although i have to draw 3 different concepts of the design, and choose which one is most suitable. any replys would be helpful thanks ! Quote
ReMark Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 I have the ideal project for you. It is called a trebuchet. A trebuchet is what is commonly referred to as a catapult. Use Google to search for "trebuchet plans" and you'll find there are many different types/designs. Quote
Doove Posted November 25, 2008 Posted November 25, 2008 A kettle or a torch? A bit boring but both are simple and cheap and come in dozens of shapes & sizes; easy to plagiarise, sorry I meant easy to get inspiration . Quote
BIGMIKE09281946 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 How about a HO Scale model Railroad? Quote
BIGMIKE09281946 Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 trebuchet is the name of my pc. they hold an annual pumpkin pitching contest in Delaware, is on SC turkey day using steam and trebuchets. Quote
ReMark Posted November 28, 2008 Posted November 28, 2008 Somewhere around my mess-of-a-desk I have a set of plans for a table top trebuchet. Now if I could only find them. Quote
sw33ney Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 yes although i must design three different concepts, anymore idea's, really appreciated Quote
ReMark Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I would image since you are using Inventor that you might want to have some moving parts in this project of yours or am I wrong? Quote
sw33ney Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 yes moving parts would be even better ! Quote
ReMark Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I think a trebuchet would make an excellent project. have you even bothered to research it? There are a number of moving parts on one and many variations. Quote
