no way, for real? Thats kind of a crazy coincidence, but definitely worth looking into.

edit: Well dang, they do look strikingly similar after seeing a pic of the 86 frames

yeah, CCM used CZ-75 grips because they are comfortable enough and there are already after market grips available. I'm pretty sure that CCM would be kind enough to lend you a model. If you ask nicely.

Oh I will certainly ask nicely! I havent ever really dealt with CCM, so who should I contact? Isnt it basically just a couple of guys? lol.

cww516 · 11-30-2011, 03:21 PM

not sure Mel would appreciate that...

best bet would be to give them a call. easiest way to find their number is probably to look up user CCMCHICK (that's Mel), i think she has the number in her sig.

lol, didnt mean to offend. Should have put "couple of people"

Ill send over a friendly email.

cww516 · 12-01-2011, 12:14 AM

haha, doubt you'd be offending anyone. having run into them once or twice at pump events, they're pretty cool people.

Get some sort of aftermarker cooling

edit- yes you can save to a bunch of different formats

You have my exact set-up... but i have 8gb ddr5

And a 750 PSU

How bout these?

Spitlebug · 12-07-2011, 06:58 PM

It's a good start.

VillageIdiut · 12-08-2011, 02:21 AM

Thanks... These were my first attempt at anything on CAD. I'm now on my 3rd gen wid a single stack smaller than mini mechanical marker.

Not cad, but made from cad:

(failed barrel attempt)

Looks like a keeper to me.

Also, might want to re-host, you have to be logged in on MCB to see the image. Not like everyone here isn't already a member, anyway.

Im A huge fan of Deadlywind, when I saw the prototype for their new maker it inspired me to produce this design for its asthetics.- I really love the look of the prototypes frame!

afterthought from my 1911 model -

The marker body in your pics above my post kinda resembles a pistol slide, intentional? hehe

yea it was intentional- I thought it would go well with the grip frame, maybe appeal to speedball and bush players.

Way cool. We were just looking at 1911 designs to work out our plan of action.

In other news I am now learning Solidworks.

Sooooo different to the system I usually use. There are some things I like and some that are annoying and frustrating the heck out of me.

So far it is taking me about 10-20 times longer to do something in Solidworks than it would in Tebis.

Leafy · 12-14-2011, 09:12 AM

Is that because of not being used to the interface or because it keeps crashing?

**Simon** · 12-14-2011, 09:39 AM

Not being used to the interface is one part of it, and a major part, the other is how slow it handles large assemblies, and third is how many steps you have to take to make a part and locate it correctly.

The one good thing about the third issue, is how easy it is to then make changes (compared to Tebis at least) and update the design.

One hand I like some of it a lot, on the other hand it's slowing me down and frustrating the heck out of me. (Wanted to type a stronger cuss word

)

Yeah, that's par for the course when you move between CAD packages, from my (quite limited) experience. Takes me forever to get anything done with Inventor, but I can tell that once I figure out where everything is, it's going to be infinitely easier to use than Pro/E.

Inventor/Solidworks are easier and make more sense then catia/pro e
