Importing hardware models
- [Instructor] In the last video, we created 3D objects and profile curves for the custom metal parts of our musical instrument. Now, we'll bring in one last set of metal parts, literally the nuts and bolts that will hold our musical instrument together. These are going to be stock parts, so they're not custom-made. We could get them right off the shelf at the hardware store. And so, rather than sit in Rhino and model all the screw, threads, and other details, we can get ready-made models and just import them into our file. This allows for a more realistic visualization and 3D print, while cutting out lots of modeling work. Now, I know from the prototyping stage, where I went through several different sets of nuts and bolts and washers, which ones work the best while being the most cost-effective. Once I've decided on my hardware, I went to the website of my industrial supplier and downloaded 3D models of each part. You can see them here in my Downloads folder, as well as in the…
