Made my own connecting rod
 

...in solidworks. ^_^

drew this up for a school project tonight. I'll end up actually machining something similar, but w/o a lot of the fillets.

I thought it turned out pretty good!

Sorry about the lack of bolt threads, too lazy.

Awesome. But no threads on the bolts.... Jeeeeze, what were you thinking?

Nice, if they work good I will run floppy rods in my motor.

CosWHAT?

Time for me to draw up some overpriced cams!

Nice. I think our company is starting to go away from Solid Works, and just use basic Microstation as our main program. Not quite sure why, because Microstation is 2D. Maybe just takes more time to do it in Solidworks?

Your Floppy Rod is hot.

Too lazy for holes? Come on Joe, the Hole Wizard could have taken care of those in 60 seconds.

Re: Made my own connecting rod

Re: Made my own connecting rod
 

Hmm, not I beam or H beam? They look like they would be pretty heavy. Pretty sweet though!

Re: Made my own connecting rod
 

These are for people far beyond puny I-H-X beam rods. These are full beam rods!

Rau and shep already ordered sets.
