Rick,

From my experience, I'm pretty sure Tom won't be able to give you an STL file. STL files are usually made using spline-based models and the model Tom is building is polygonal. Of course, I can't speak 100% for Tom, but I'm pretty sure he'll agree.

I've run into this problem with my models too. I am confident that it's only a matter of time until polygonal models can be turned into machineable files.

Tom's work is definitely on the level with some nice CAD work. :thumbsup:

hi, thanks for the comments

i have managed to convert a max file to stl using Deep Exploration, but reading what Kris has written i am not sure if it will even work, i have never tried it myself.

but if you want i could quickly make something and convert it over to an stl files, so it can be tested.

anwyay thanks
Tom

That is great work Tom :hail: :hail:

If you can output an STL I'll check its integrety for you, make a small file of the transmision or something, if it works I can post pictures of the solid 3d model, this is cool stuff, you can send the file to me at work
