« on: November 14, 2017, 07:09:13 PM »
Self explanatory title - is there a good source out there for CAD files of the typical parts used?

GTM uses meshes from 3DSMax most of the time, There may be some stuff of GrabCad, make sure its 3DsMax! or any mesh may work

Most of my stuff comes from either supplier websites (NPC, VEX), Grabcad (Ampflow, some Banebots stuff), or McMaster. Hobbyking will provide drawings if you're nice and ask, but it's really just easiest to buy a motor and CAD it yourself from them. Otherwise, asking around in FB groups, since usually somebody has made any given model before.

Awesome awesome stuff guys, there's a lot more out there than I realized! And, I'm kicking my own ass for not thinking about manufacturer & supplier websites, I should know better than that.
Thanks, hopefully I can return the favor with some decently thrown together CAD designs
