Got bored today...

What do you guys think? It's not perfect, but I figured it was a decent waste of a couple hours.

Nice crank.

...Strictly from a modelers perspective.

I need to throw some Inventor on my machine for some time kill. Good idea.

Gotta groove the mains for better oiling.............

NICE!

It's hard to see but they are grooved. I even radiused the oil holes and cut the keyway and circlip groove for the gear driving the intermediate shaft. I was going to add cross drilling, though it will take a good bit longer to do.

Now animate it! Very cool.

What version of Creo is that? Heck, send me a step file!!

If you did this at work, are you salaried, paid by the hour or by the piece?

fasterlaster - I will definitely animate it once I learn how to do so.

Mike - This was done on a student version of Wildfire 5.0

Sergio - I'm a 2nd year engineering student, even if I were getting paid it wouldn't be very much as it took 3 hours to do the whole crank.

I would post the file somewhere, but I think files created in the student version won't be compatible with any other version.

It should open just fine in non educational versios
It will just be watermarked on the plot,

Nice work! What did you use as a reference?

I used a picture of a 997 turbo crank as a reference and gathered some rough measurements around the web. I still need to find more data to make it more accurate.
