Base images to work your Custom milling ideas on!

Matty that is not pathetic. We are brainstorming here and there is no such thing. We are just looking for ideas. A flag on the side is very possible (I mentioned that to one of my Canadian friends from CanCon).

I bet it would go down well with the USA market.

Manike, for some reason when I print out a body style it prints it slightly larger than the body is shown. It it a requirment to keep it at the same size for compatability with the CAD system? If that is the case, then I will keep looking for a way to print it out right.

Size doesn't matter at all. I can just scale it. It's just so I have some reference points for when I start modelling it up.

I call the milling behind the feed " Toof-less " and the milling on the back " Lava Lamp Milling "

[manike]

Coffee you always make me smile...

We could mill a 'bite' mark into it :) that would be seriously funny.

Then Sharky.....

Now an animals head with it's mouth around the valve is really a very cool idea. What we need is STL files of animals from the net. Anyone got super finding abilities?

I can get max files of animal heads.. not STL.... What is STL? can stuff be imported into this file?

[manike]

stl is a form of rapid prototyping files. It is a very common format and used for RP to animations.

If you can get animal head files in any surface format I am sure we can find a way to convert it into my system

Maybe as .iges, or .step, or .dxf, or .dwg, or catia .model or .exp or .vda or... what other file formats can you do?

There will be a way :) A lions head would be perfect if you can...

Hm... I don't think photoshop would a prototype for the extreme milling very well. Especially when you already generated a 3d image as a platform.

Does photoshop do rendering? Cuz if it does then I'll nm my comment.

Ok this thing looks bad b/c i couldnt fade the colors and whatnot. The module would be blue and the feed tube would be chrome with the detent. I've always loved fishbone milling so i added it.The EXTREME part would be indented with blue added. This was just a small thing that took me 15 minutes. Dont flame me please!!! LOL. Here she is

Vegeta what is the file extension? is it .max?

Are you talking about a 3D studio max file?
