10 Footer 3D Drawings

I think this link is going to work...


It is a Google Sketchup 3D drawing of the part one metal work of the Otherpower ten footer.


I'm not sure if there is a way to convert these to a format usable to a CNC machine but I'm working on that too.


More to follow.

I do not think there is any way other than to take a screan shot and just post it as a picture.  Sadly I can not check out your work as Google Sketch does not seem to work under Windows 7... one of the few I could not at least run in a compatability mode.  Maybe I will check it out if I load up XP again.

Very cool! Not exactly useful for me in particular right now, but still very nice. I am interested to see if someone makes code for a CNC machine to mill out some wooden blades. It would take a while, but you could make a very accurate airfoil.


Google sketchup is pretty neat though.

I have a CNC and use Vectric software for toolpathing. I generally start with an STL or 3DS file, but there are several other alternatives. Unfortunately, there is little support for Sketchup models.
