For some unknown reason, I saw these and had to have a set. I downloaded a set of plans but they were raster PDF and would not load into Fusion so I have gotten a good workout with this. First I put the PDF into Inkscape, did some tracing, imported that svg into Fusion 360, cleaned things up a lot, tweaked the length of the center pointer then imported it back into Inkscape to color code! So even though this started with someone else’s plans I still had to earn this.
EDIT: link to plans for those who see this but not that:
Nice, I like your design. I just happen to make a pair a week or so ago. They are not the greatest (pivot points too loose) so I would love to see other ideas.
I just posted these in the free plans area. This is why I always try to work in Fusion 360, I had to mess with the hole size myself but by using a parameter they all updated at once!
Oh, I wish! I don’t know what was with that PDF, wouldn’t even open in Fusion 360, wouldn’t trace in Inkscape. Had to literally trace it out using the bezier tool then I put that relatively poor SVG into Fusion where I could clean things up nicely, then back to Inkscape for color codeing .
Yes, exactly, I mentioned it in the free plans post but failed to here.
Well after you have the file worked up! That is why I shared my iteration; not everyone should have to spend hours perfecting the file. Spend that time perfecting something else and share it.
