thanks for the advise.
I'm reading posts after posts and sites after sites, there is a wealth of information out there and a whole lot of people like you, willing to help.
I think the idea of a mini lathe and a mini mill sounds very appealing.
I will then convert the mill to cnc.
but first things first.
someone I know wanted to learn some 3d program, but never relay got into it.
since he's got more money than brains (I always tell him that too) he is willing to sell me one of his software.
he would sell me either maya 4.0 for $500.00 or autocad 2004 for $300.00.
I looked at rhino3d and that costs only 200.00 for a student license (I will take some classes to be a student again).
what would you do?
would the extra cost for maya or autocad be worth it?
after learning to design a part in 3D, I can then go to the next step and get a program that converts it to g-code etc.
so, what is your opinion for the 3d program? |
