CAD Users with time on their hands, Check In

Bump for anyone interested? I know some people posted some examples and work, but is anyone actually interested in helping design some stuff?

There is a reason why people charge 20-30 an hour for this type of stuff.

And why (most) engineers make >$50k year.

Also, i re-read your title, chances are, avid CAD users most likely don't have extra time on their hands.

Also, are you planning on actually making a bumper yourself? If so, you can just do hand drawings, CAD isn't all that necessary for something this simple.

Put it this way: When I designed my skidplate for my M42, I made the mechanical drawings on a piece of wood with a Sharpie lying under my car, and I used a tape measure to take measurements.

Also, tell ya what: get your jeep, measure the mounting points, and go from there.

Good place to start. Hard to mock up anything with some numbers.

I'm well Aware of what people usually charge and make... I mention straight away I couldn't pay, but if anyone had wanted to practice, then they could help. I can, and most likely will, go about this with cardboard and what not, but it doesn't hurt to ask if anyone wants some practice to home / inprove their skills

Doing a bumper/skidplate design is easy beans man, you could use Blender (it supports 2d cad as well as full 3d rendering and its free). I use Cinema 4d for 3d and I import from all sorts of cad programs. if you get me a cad file i can make you some pretty renderings...
