PC case control box

[John S]

Nope.
Bobcad, Alibre and Solid Edge can't open it.

It's a simple 2 D shape, why not draw it as 2D ?
Laser cutters only read 2 D files.

Can't open it here either.

May be quicker to re-post the original drawing that you did but dimension it up, that way I can re-draw it.

This is so annoying!
It just seems stupid that I spent all that time making the part, and then I have to make another drawing only for someone else to make another!

One last go... I messed around with settings, tried a bunch of different formats... hopefully something works.

If not I'll knock up the drawing this afternoon.

Hurahhh!

I think I have finally got it!

It occurred to me whilst in the shower (I find the bathroom a great place to solve problems). DXF is a 2d format, yes? For some reason when I import my Maya file into Rhino it gets rotated 90 degrees so that when you look at it from the top all you see is line! So I thought maybe I need to rotate the object so that the drawing can be seen from the top view port, and sure enough I can now see the drawing in eDrawings viewer. So fingers crossed this works.

Are you sure you want it 134" long ?

[lateAtNight]

134mm...

u sure thats not to do with your import settings, or the units the prog is set to use?

[HiltonSteve]

John, you are wrong its not 134 inch's long.

Its 3.4m!

Leave it with me, I will sort it out.

[Smiler]

I have done somthing along these lines, sorry to hijack !

How do you plan on keeping this little lot + BOB and PC cool? Looks like you have the same Zapp kit as me and it gets pretty hot I can tell you! I have finally managed to get the three 120mm fans in my case working and although it's a bit noisy, everything stays very cool indeed now.

I have 2 boxes under my machine and I would prefer to have a setup similar to what you have down.
I would sure like to see the build log for that PC/controller Lee.
Any chance of you posting a build log?
Thanks, Keith
