Hello, i am ironshirt. and this is my creative commons 3.0 motorcycle project.
-Project Goals.
to use blender as the main tool for the design and manufacture material production, from start to finish of a small (not so complicated) motorcycle design.
-Limitations.
as of now. i do not have any of the resource materials available and all measurements are done via “research”.
-reasons.
to make small motorcycle batch manufacture available to the home machinist/welder by providing all necessary files for outsourcing any and all of the needed work.
this project is due to a decision i made after an over zealous post i did a bit ago. i figure i’ll do it this way.
-estimated completion time.
6-12 months.
i’ll be updating this thread as the project progresses, if you have any questions, pm me.
as you can see, the date is febuary of this year, that is when i considered the particular design i am “redux-ing” actually completed. it’s just the way i’m trying this. so it might seem easier to do than it is, but it’s an easy design purposefully, for the builder’s sake. but it still will take time, because i am actually “re-modeling” it (better).
here’s a video of the rig as it stands at the moment, i attempted some tire squish and it squirreled up the physics a bit. ((that’s why the wheels appear to be scaling up and down) they are).
i’ve decided to work on the basic assembly instructions first, since they are easier and i don’t need the exact dimensions (i do need) for assembly instructions.
threads courtesy of the “bolt factory” plugin (packaged with blender). which we’re then reduced and set for duplication to be better “digested” by my poorly spec’d computer.
