Well, time to continue this... (seems to be expected of me somehow 😜 )
I've been trying to get our entire machine, which i posted some optional parts from last week, into ShowCase.
So far it has locked up my machine twice, so no luck yet, but i'm not giving up...
So, i'll have to settle with a simpler image of something done years ago.
Only difference, this is rendered with ShowCase.
Hope others have more interesting projects to show 🙂
Have a good weekend!

Hi everyone, here's a large diameter fan I designed for our steel storage building. It has variable angle of attack, and it's about 20 ft in diameter.

Any reason you don't just buy a "big **** fan"

Thats exactly what they do.

Haha, I was wondering if anyone would bring that up. For lack of a better word, our company's 'motto' is that if we can build it ourselves, we will. We looked at that company for inspiration, but then just designed it myself anyway. We used one of our horsewalker motors, which are very high torque and low speed, so I ended up calling the project "The Big Horse Fan."
We have a similar motto here.. BUT we also know that there is no point "building it ourselves" when an off the shelf solution is out there and costs less than the time/money spend rolling our own.
I'd guarantee that fan cost you more than double (and probably way more than that) the cost of whats out there already. Not to mention the safety aspect "IF" that fan decides to come down on someone.
Hi Niels,
I'm supporting your Friday pics trend with a picture of my gadget.
This is just an unfinished concept that I use to play with when trying to get the best out of Inventor for illustration purposes. It should look OK on a screen (even at 200% zoom in), as long as we don't try to zoom in at the molecular level ;-))
I'm not using the Ray Tracing at all because of its "insane" reflections, which I found very hard to control.
Illustrations are a great asset to the Management and Marketing departments, but I found that most of them rarely appreciate the amount of work, time, and skill required to get a good picture.
Have a good weekend!

Pales in comparison to what has been shown, but this is a simple expansion joint for a building roof.
If this solved your issue please mark this posting "Accept as Solution".
Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!
Just experimenting for some other project...
Showoff!

Curtis, the thing that bugs me about your image is that the curl's backside doesn't show the image mirrored.
(The lack of letters/numbers on the keyboard is 2nd 😉 )
What's the experiment for?
Hi -niels-,
This was just a concept for some marketing material (magazine ad / trade show flier), showing a webpage on the monitor, with the page turn showing some other pertinent information beneath.
The letters on the keyboard bugged me too, but in the interest of time I used it as is. Actually the keyboard looks a bit 1990's to me, but it served the purpose.
Also, here's the page turn that is more in line with what I think you expected. The mirrored result was achieved simply by using a different preset filter button (in the 3rd party photo editor) than I used originally. I knew there was an option to roll the text around on the back side, but I just went with what I had on the first try.
I was just excited to get to contribute this Friday, as I normally don't have anything to offer, but always enjoy these threads.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Always great stuff in these Friday picture threads.
Very little of what we build is very exciting to look at.
Maybe that is why it all gets left on the bottom of the sea once we are finished with it. 🙂
My boy is a Kendama fan. (http://kendamausa.com/). Recently, I have been showing him some stuff in IV (He is 9). We modeled a Kendama, and then rendered it in Keyshot 5. Wow is he picky. 🙂

Here's a tailhook assembly for an F4U Corsair that is under restoration.

Will there be a render of the entire plane in the future?
*wink**wink**nudge**nudge*
At some point I do plan on attempting a model of the entire aircraft.
It would be a great exercise to see if all the parts actually do assembly properly.
Just need some "spare" time.
A suspension that I've been working on.
