Title: Sagaris' CAD & Render Showcase
Post by: SagarisRA2 on March 06, 2019, 08:03:57 AM: So I made quite a few CAD's in the beginning of January and today decided to get back into CAD designs after a two month break. So, I looked back at my DSL showcase and noticed a spinner called "Midnight", so made a big chunky vert in CAD and recreated Midnight.

I will probably revise this within the next few days then and give the disc supports additional supports. Probably also beef up the wheel guards while I'm at it too.

Post by: SagarisRA2 on March 07, 2019, 08:30:55 AM: So...since yesterday I have downloaded loads of motor models and thought I would try and put a robot together built around said motors. I recreated my DSL robot "Azure" starting from the drive motors, creating a bar and adding a custom belted motor.

I also this time around made sure the bar had better supports, meaning the supports have their own supports to hold them up.
