CAD Help

19 November 2014 - 06:02 PM

Ok so recently I've been trying to work out how to use Autodesk Inventor Professional 2015 to try and design possible ideas for homemades. So what I'm trying to do is CAD a model of a standard Pumpsnap 3.0. I'm having issues on how to slot the PVC. Can anyone help? (Google has not helped me so far)


Michigan War Discussion

18 July 2014 - 10:11 PM

So so far I have noticed that although there seem to be an okay amount of Michigan nerfers in the Metro-Detroit area, no wars really take place. The only wars I've seen this year were the Bowling Green wars in Ohio. This thread is to brainstorm dates that work and possible war sites for a possible war this year (2014). Last year, LinkMT hosted M.a.a.N (Michiganders are always nerfing) in the Plymouth area, which could work as a possible war site again. If anyone would like to contribute to the ideas, feel free to either post here or PM me. So far there are nerfers in Royal Oak (southpaw), Plymouth (LinkMT), Birmingham (Spencerak), Troy (C-A 99), and Detroit (Darkdragon). So far I have found a few possible areas such as Maybury State Park (http://goo.gl/6wf3qd), Plymouth Township Park (http://goo.gl/GCceyo), or ITC Community Park (http://goo.gl/PH3ZgJ). Lets see if we can get a war in before the end of August!

Angel Breach Help

23 May 2014 - 03:14 PM

So I just got a complete longshot for $20 and went to go check the angel breach write up when I discovered that it was extremely out dated. The pictures aren't there and I can't seem to find any other write ups that are similar to it. Can anyone help me by either helping to update the mod or to make a new one all together?

EDIT: I found one online on modworks. Can close this topic now but the mod directory needs to be updated and filtered/sorted.

Help with springs!

31 January 2014 - 10:31 PM

Today I managed to scavenge a spring from my robotics team. I was wondering if anyone could help me find the strength of it and if so, maybe some ideas of what I could do with this type of spring. And if anyone knows how I could find the spring constant that would be helpful as well. Pictures and specs below.
Length: ~5 inches
Full Compressed length: ~2 inches (couldn't get an accurate length because the spring kept popping out of the vice when I tightened it.)
Compressed length with an 8lb weight on it: ~4.8 inches
OD: ~1.1 inches
ID: ~.85 inches
# of coils: 13 total, ~3 per inch
Thickness of spring material: ~.11 inches
Comparison to [k26]
