I love using the CAD end of BobCAD because it is simple and straight forward. I personally have a 3d printer and designed this jewelry box in BobCAD. It took 1 month to create in BobCAD and 3 months to print out.

I gave this jewelry box to my now wife as a gift when proposing to her! She loved it of course…and said yes hahaha!

I made billet fork sliders for a 1978 Ducati race bike. The blocks are bored and honed by another company then I zero in on the center of the hole and machine the exterior. Total time is about 24 hours per fork slider.

Wow guys these parts look great and I now have great hope to be able to quickly produce parts once again. Here is my first part (2 sides) I made several years ago as a limited production part. It of course took a special set up jig and 3 flips to get it done.
Sone as I figure out how to download them to you.

Well, I have searched high and low and I can not seem to find the button to include a couple photos on this page. Can anyone enlighten me?

Alex, Thanks. Here are the pics of this part I built several years ago… It is a little shop worn from being tossed around the shop for many years. I was quite proud of this piece and it was the first milling project I ever did.

Amazing projects! I am a little jealous! I haven’t even been at a CNC machining center for 7 years now and I do miss being able to Program and Machine parts of the like. All I have now is my personal Plasma Cutter. At a cost of $4100.00 for X48"xY33" with Height Control Z3". Mine aren’t as fancy but I will show a couple.
