Autocad seems like a mongrel afterwards!(atleast to me)


Autocad IS a mongrel to learn and get around initially, but VERY powerful once you find out what it can do - still not worth the price tag on it though IMO.

I hadn't heard of Solidworks, so had a look at their site for curiousity.  What I see looks good, but cannot take tours etc cause seems to be Internet Explorer only site  Mad

I got Autocad at the right price  Smile - certainly not worth full list.

Mike, once you can model in full 3D, you won't go back to that 2D stuff  Very Happy

The program I use here at Purdue is supposed to be like SolidWorks, but it's called IronCad. It's a very temperamental program which loves to do crazy stuff on you. Just last night, part of my part got sucked into a "black hole" where the modeling kernel just threw up its hands and gave up, and any time I tried to move another part near there, it would also disappear until I rotated the view. Very annoying, that IronCad. Luckily, I only have to deal with it for another few days because next week is finals week. Autodesk AutoSketch ought to be a good solution. I recieved some training on an old version of that back in high school.

When you assemble my horn, make sure you attach the bracing pieces to the outside of the horn flare panels before you attach all the horn flare panels together. Otherwise you can't get at the places you need to put screws in.

I'd suggest waiting until there are computer-generated plans.

I have a few more questions. How much does this thing weigh? What are good materials to build it out of? How well would MDF work?


Thanks!

MDF would be heavy, and not worth it

get some birch ply

3/4" Birch Ply. Not MDF. This will not be a heavy box, but it will not be lightweight either.
