PINEWOOD DERBY

[bhuss]

ANYONE HAVE ANY COOL 3D FILES TO MAKE PINEWOOD DERBY CARS ON CNC? I HAVE ONE I'M WORKING ON BUT WOULD LOVE TO FIND SOMETHING ELSE LIKE A CORVETTE, VIPER, FARRARI, LAMBO, ...ETC

Just something plain, but fun!

These are not 3D, but they are Vcarve 2D, for use with a 90 degree .5" router bit- good for wedge-type cars. I made the dragon one and filled in the negative space with 2 part resin & it turned out pretty cool. Oh, and don't forget... the speed is in the axle prep!

My dad used to make some sick derby cars back when I was in the cubs. He makes custom woodwork for a living so he would really get into it. I'll post some pictures if I can find them.

Hey Moog, What software are you using?
That looks pretty cool. I have yet to take that next evolutionary step towards walking fully upright (3D). I'd like to get into it without spending a zillion dollars.
Thanks, Mike

I,m using Part Modeler to design and then use Edgecam to find features and create g code for Mach 3
on my cnc shark router which I built a vacuum table.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON.
DESIGN IN PROE AND PROGRAMMED IN MASTERCAM.
I'LL POST COMPLETED PICS LATER
