drawings (2D)

drawings (2D) Hi, I'm new here and I'm a bit confused. I'm looking for a set of metric 2D drawings of Mendel preferably as DXF or DWG. What I've found so far is either 3D or imperial. Thanks for your help Markus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40058#msg-40058 Tue, 21 Jul 2026 19:11:48 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,48788#msg-48788 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,48788#msg-48788

I confirm that opening it in the forum doesn't work. Apparently the forum software gives incorrect type information in the http header?

Can you (or anyone) please provide an example of this, so I can try to track this down and fix it? I suspect a quick addition to the relevant apache config file will take care of this, but I need an example to be sure I understand exactly what the issue is :)]]> jmarsden General Mendel Topics Sat, 12 Jun 2010 00:33:01 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,43413#msg-43413 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,43413#msg-43413 jgilmore General Mendel Topics Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:28:21 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,42625#msg-42625 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,42625#msg-42625 http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?showtopic=1220355)

Triffid.hunter have some excellent drawings at http://wooden-mendel.blogspot.com/. Today I printed some more of them and started drawing and adding comments, then I realized, why not do it on the computer. So I converted the bitmap to vectors in inkscape and added some comments and drawings. I really like the svg format as it opens directly in your browser for quick viewing (at least in Opera). And you can print it directly from inskcape while keeping the exact scale. (Printing from Opera didn't work properly).

I find it difficult to keep the details and measurements "perfect" in svg, but I feel it's more than good enough for manual building anyway.

Does it look okay? Should I do more? Where should I put it on the wiki?

Edit: Hmm.. something strange happens when I open the file through the forum. If you save it to disk first, it works fine.]]> Nudel General Mendel Topics Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:52:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,42581#msg-42581 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,42581#msg-42581 -------------------------------------------------------

I second that.
It would be great to have at least some Mendel-parts
in a proper, parametric solid -format.
(Preferably even as an assembly with inter-part constraints
to create resized versions but I guess that would be way
too much work to ask for.)
I do parametric modelling here but am currently too occupied
to help there. :( Maybe a few weeks later.]]> MarcusWolschon General Mendel Topics Wed, 14 Apr 2010 02:03:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,41994#msg-41994 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,41994#msg-41994 > I can make more drawings, its a 10sec job for me

Wonder if you could convert the files into "STEP" or "IGES" format and post them?
Would open up more SW platforms.
thx]]> Prober General Mendel Topics Wed, 07 Apr 2010 11:54:41 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,41993#msg-41993 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,41993#msg-41993 objects.reprap.org]

Would like to see some of the more complex shapes done.

x-carriage-lower
x-carriage-upper
y-bearing-360-inner
y-bearing-360-outer-left
y-bearing-360-outer-right

I started with one, the frame-vertex_6off.stl So you can download it here:
[www.3d-scannen.nl]
only one PDF atm. since I decided to buy them all for myself.
Its scale 1:1, so print without scaling and do you'r thing ;)

I can make more drawings, its a 10sec job for me (using Pro/Engineer).
Let me know (pm me) what parts you want first as 2D pdf.
And when i have time ill make more.
cheers,

ie :: how far are the rectangle/circular holes supposed to be from the edge?

I've only had time to do two.

Its very tedious. Especially so because I'm did it on a eeePC netbook.]]> TianChang General Mendel Topics Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:08:15 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40366#msg-40366 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40366#msg-40366
I hope this will help::

You can easily generate 2D drawings from the 3D files (downloaded from the official RR wiki) using SolidWorks software. The tedious part is labelling the necessary dimensions.

There was a guy who machined Mendel parts from aluminium. He made his 2D drawings available. I'm sure a search will be able to dig that up.

Because I'm a mech. eng. student, my faculty gives us the software. University students from engineering usually have easy access to such software. =)

You can use them to create what ever 2d files you want. That is what I did for my cnc machine which needed dxfs

Hey can you give me a walkthrough on this? Like what software you are using, how to convert the file. I saw a python script available to convert .stl's to .dxf, but haven't tried it.

thanks.]]> FrankNeon General Mendel Topics Mon, 22 Mar 2010 18:14:34 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40161#msg-40161 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40161#msg-40161
3D is always a big headache with format incompatibilities. OTOH dxf is something nearly everything can read. Even dwg works almost everywhere.

So I think I'll have to make them myself. Also helps me understand the machine better :)]]> poesel General Mendel Topics Mon, 22 Mar 2010 03:28:23 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40068#msg-40068 Re: drawings (2D) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,40058,40068#msg-40068
