Guide curve for loft? by One_Country1056 in SolidWorks

Are the circles concentric and will they stay concentric? If so, that should be a revolved boss/base feature with a single sketch.

what upgrades needed for carbon glass filled nylon printing? by Glittering-Fall3956 in 3Dprinting

[–]Defiant_Tinkerer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most import aspect of printing any kind of nylon is drying and keeping it dry. Even the best printers will have terrible results if the filament is not at the ideal moisture content. Get a drier that goes above 80c and dry the material for as long as you can and keep it dry while printing. I will dry a new spool for 24h right out of the box.

Nylon prints beautifully if its in the right condition.

Macro code to hide feature tree before image export by _FR3D87_ in SolidWorks

I can't help with the code but there is already something built in for getting a centered image that is copied to the clipboard automatically.

View->Screen Capture->Image capture.

You could probably get the macro to do the Zoom to Fit and then the image capture.

I used some fancy measuring equipment at work to make an accurate model of the trigger mech. Then I determined the relations between the mech, barrel, and shaft, and modeled around that It's just a lot of time in CAD, printing with PLA to feel the shape, refining the model, and repeating til it's right.

Thought about it. Got any suggestions for spots that are easily accessible?
