Downloads

Here are the files you can download for free.  Currently there are three different types of files.  First format is the SolidWorks E-drawings.  This file format will allow anybody to open the files no matter what software you have installed.  E-drawings is the most user friendly format since you don't have to have any special 3-D modeling (CAD) software to look at the files.  The second format is the solid model file in *.igs format.  You must have some sort of 3-D modeling (CAD) software to open this file format.  If you are planning on doing the machining I have, you will need the *.igs file.  But if you just want to open the file to look at it, you can download the E-drawing.  And the last type of files you can download are the blueprints.  I don't make blueprints of the solid models I make.  So if you need a dimension while working on your project, you will have to reference the model.  Later on, I hope to make available other files dealing with my projects...including sketches, setup sheets, programs, etc.  Tim at dumpsterCNC made the 1911 solidmodel *.iges file.  Andy at [email protected] made the VZ58 *.iges file.

My files are free to download, and if you share these files they must remain free!
