![]() I have built furniture for myself based on designs I've seen online. Regarding the legality issues: (with the standard IANAL disclaimer) If I print out a copy of a part from a cad file for my own non-commercial use, who cares? I could just as easily use the cad files to machine a part out of metal if I was so inclined. This is an excellent idea for prototyping before purchasing parts, or doing one-offs for my own projects. There are some more in depth techniques I'll post about in later instructables, but for now, go out and grab some parts!Īnother website that offers CAD files is SDP (standard drive products): You can use that to create perfect recesses for bolts and fasteners, as well. ![]() For example, you can download the file for a press fit bearing, convert to 'hole' in TinkerCad, and subtract if from a base to make a perfect press fit. I encourage modification as well! Once you're 3d printing you can add decorative elements, or even combine parts! Another thing you can do is use the product file as a subtraction/hole. ![]() Kings like motor mounts, pillow blocks, chain tensioners, specialized brackets, pulleys- will all print well on an extrusion printer. You can use this technique for all sorts of parts and many on master will print just fine on a lower resolution/extrusion 3d printer like a makerbot. The one on the left is the part as ordered from master, the one in the right is my printed part. I've printed the sprocket on an objet connex 500.
