3D files repository

[N710MC]

Hello all!
I am looking through numerous posts and sites to collect the best ideas on where everyone is using 3D parts for their builds. Can we start a sticky to allow a consolidated repository of files? I would request you put which model RV the file is for in the title if applicable.
Thanks

I Agree it would be so useful to have a repository of all these files. I have reached out to many in the community and everyone is so nice and helpful but I do hate bothering them for files if I could get them somewhere.

Here's an oil filler cap that works for some lycomings.

About time we did this.

I've got a few files to add, but the way VAF forum is currently set up, only image or pdf files are allowed. Maybe if Doug created a folder on this site, or allow attachment of other types of files directly in these posts, we could make this happen.

Instead of asking Doug to pay for more storage, I'd say just encourage everyone to upload their files on one of the many 3D file sites and reference the link in their post showing off their proud creation (ex: thingiverse).

Look at my screenshot above. Doug already allows 16MB photo files. Most CAD files are smaller than that. My custom oil cooler duct parts with the vanes and bellmouth are only 5MB total for all three pieces, and 1.1MB zipped.

By going back to remote file storage, the files will get lost to time as they had been back in the "olden days of VAF".

In the interim I could create a folder on the WIKI for STL Files

Axle Alignment Jig

Rod End Bearing Gauge (Rudder and Elevator)

Elevator Bellcrank Template (see page 36-16)


Tried uploading the STL files to the Wiki Temp Transfer but I need permissions so let me know the best method and I'll drop them in

This is a great idea. Pete - thanks for stepping up.
