Patrick Matthews Posted August 16, 2022 Share #1 Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) One of the highest achievements of research is the publication of your work. I've often been too lazy to share designs-- it seems to take as much work to put one's research into shareable format as it does to build a physical model! But I'm trying to rectify that. I often use CAD to help work out designs and to support the building activity, but I'm also finding it just as rewarding to simply make a CAD model and share that... and the CAD model is much easier to keep the dust off of. I'm posting my CAD models for free download at GrabCAD. Other sites are available, but this works for me: https://grabcad.com/patrick.matthews-1 You can go into each model posting to find additional materials, such as photos, documents, and original drawings, as well as the CAD model itself. The site has a 3D viewer that allows you spin the model around for preview, nice. So far, I have posted: - 1909 San Francisco fireboat - 1945 ATSF RR tugboat - 1908 USLSS lifeboat And now I'm going back and reassembling a mess of a CAD model for my interpretation of "Pilar".
