October again, leaves are starting to change color but still enjoying summer temperatures here.

Thanks to @vmontefusco for his carrying tray contribution last month!

To start this month off i actually have an image, had to draw up this number plate holder since we didn't have a supplier provided model for it.

Looking forward to your contributions, i believe it's the Halloween month so i'm curious what people are doing with that.

Feel free to post your creations if you can!

Not a Halloween prop, but a mechanical hand prosthetic that I just finished for a 4-year old girl.

The design is from an open source community called e-NABLE and as far as I know it's designed in Inventor, it's a worldwide community and it's also supported by the Autodesk foundation since 2015. For everyone that has a 3D-printer and doesn't use it all the time, this is a great way to print some stuff and help someone. Here you can find more information about how it works, and for all Dutch people you can use this link.

Hi, this is my entry with a 50cc engine rendered in Studio. It's in 4K, not the original 8K because of the photo size upload limit, unfortunately. Happy modeling!

Cheers, Marco50 cc engine Euro 2 specification

I always envy you guys getting to work with things like engine design, mechanisms, and various other assemblies of moving parts doing stuff. I'm drawing doors for a living. Mostly for the purpose of illustration and/or product documentation. My soul bleeds...

@fridtjofZM5ME Then post some work and at least receive some praise for it 😉

(if allowed, ofcourse)

Doors can be pretty varied and rendering them can be a lot of fun in regards to material choices and such.

Well ok, heres a concept model of a watertight door with a grille...it's about as ridiculus as it sounds. A piece of sheet metal is screwed to the door frame on the frame side with a gasket in between. This particular door will mostly never be opened for any other reason than servicing the equipment behind it.

@fridtjofZM5ME Very nice!

@fridtjofZM5ME thanks for sharing!

Why would it need to be 'watertight' if there is ventilation grills in the center?

Or is it watertight to prevent anything from going in at the perimeter of the door?

I thought I'd do a repeat of the engine posted above. This is the identical engine but in wireframe mode with a ceramic appearance (fancy wording for b/w). Inventor is able to make three-quarters cut and this works beautifully to show the engine internals.Cross section of 50cc engine

I love the CVT on the Lancer.

Floor it and 5k+ all the way down the road.

Oh yeah, I'm sure tinkering with and driving a Lancer is a great experience!

Hi, here you see an alternative use of Inventor: a decor (or set) representing a museum. Its current display is my professional resume. No worries, personal information isn't visible. With this, I have been able to practice with the awesome update of recent years: Model States.

The focus for now is on the coffee corner. The donuts (next to the coffee on the table) represent an organic shape. Then, floating over the black/white tiling is the same donut, now a basic torus shape, which intersects with a second torus. That creates a shell-shaped piece that is useful for making buildings. The inspiration has been to construct a domed roof exactly like a famous auditorium in the USA, which was built by Saarinen. In summary, the black and white floor tiling represents a transition. In this example, from a couple of toruses to a concrete shell structure.
