3d modelling

i got tired of buying parts for my bike and then not liking how it looked.

In the end I thought I'd try some sort of 3d modelling...and it took quite a while to learn enough to be able to come up with some mods.

the other thing it is great for is for checking out or planning a custom paint job.

getting parts made is also alot easier too.

ive attached some pics.

Now, combine that modeling software with a 3D printer, and MAKE your own custom parts!

I like your idea of using a 3D modeling tool to look at your creations on the computer first. How hard is it to learn to use the tool? It's not for myself; I'd like my boys to learn to use the tool so they can let their imagination fly.....
