CAD Drawing For 3D Printing? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Randy HarrisonOGR Forum Member SUPPORTING MEMBERDIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

Do any of you do CAD drawing for others who do not have CAD software or training. I have a few small parts that I cannot find on any of the .stl file databases. If so, contact me through the E-Mail address in my OGR Forum profile. I can send you the parts on which to base the drawings. I need .stl files so that I can print the parts as needed.

Thank you.

Randy,

You might want to try out Onshape. It is web-based and fairly intuitive for a beginner.

TeachingTech is a YouTube creator who has published many videos on using Onshape.

Here's his introductory video into CAD programs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHzOzxCQ7MU

Randy,

Could you put up a few photos and some dimensions so folks have some sort of idea of what it involves?
