Sorry Jon. Just asking if you have anything you can post. Not that everything done can be. As I stated in the other thread I have to get permission to post things on our sight. Same situation and many of our companies have non-disclosure agreements too. However I would still like to see anything being done with Bobcad even if it is simple or just a test for functon.
Thanks to Ken for many of his posts. I like those type of jobs. I know companies that do things like mylar engraving and pool stick enlays. Gun stocks, pistol grips, sheet layouts for laser and water jets, molds, dies, fixtures, machine componites, and more. I have even done work off the company clock for these people by making the gcode for them and they pay me using paypal. (these are things I can not post either :frown: )
When I see parts like these I get ideals on how to do jobs I work on. Most things I do are solids and they are job related. However my son is designing a mace (weapon) for his collection. He just wants a cool design of his own. I have permission to make the part as long as I pay for any material and tooling when he gets the design I will post it. |
"Sorry Jon. Just asking if you have anything you can post."
No reason to be sorry.
Given a better environment and more BobCADCAM users actually helping other users with best practice modeling and machining, like is being done by you and I on the official BobCADCAM Technical Forum with one poster, then I will indeed post some parts and designs that I have done. Not until then. There is a lot of work to do to change the way BobCADCAM is often perceived and how it is documented. A good start is what is happening on the official BobCADCAM Technical Support Forum now. Lets hope it is allowed to continue. I have my doubts. Despite this I know it's the right thing to do.
In my opinion a big change in mindset at BobCADCAM corporate needs to take place. I'm waiting to see if this happens.
I think your a big part of trying to make positive change happen. I think others could be as well. Nothing will happen if users don't work together for these badly needed changes. I believe we need to find more BobCADCAM users who truly understand what needs to occur and who really want it to occur.
