CAD FIles? Shocks?

Try this..... http://www.sram.com/en/service/rockshox/view.php?catID=5&subcatID=2
Sram is more than help full to the average joe in my experience:thumbsup: , other manufactures...not so much:madman:

Thanks!

I found those already on Ride Monkey, but they are nice. Avalanche also has similar for their shock.

I was hoping to find 3D models if available.

I'm pretty sure Sram/RockShox make 3d files available on request, might be worth flicking them an email ( I wouldn't have a clue who to direct it to tho).
Like i said, in my experience with them they have gone out of their way to help out.

Thanks again.

I'll fire off an email to Sram, Fox, Cane Creek, Marzocchi and X-fusion.

I would think one of them would provide something. I'll let you know. Thanks.

how did this turn out, did you get some 3d files? sorry for resurrecting an old thread.

You have exactly zero chance of getting 3d models from anyone.

well thats what i was thinking as well but it never hurts to try.

Thylacine - how did you get your 2D drawings, were they from the manufactures or did you convert the PDF's to DWF files.

Out of curiosity, what do you want to do with the models? Do you want to fabricate a one off shock or something?

well its more for test fitting parts digitally. checking clearance and that sort of thing. otherwise you have to recreate everything based off the manu. dimensions.

You can convert the pdf's to dwf files. It's not a 3D file, but it will help if you just want to verify things. You need to make sure the scale is correct, the last time I looked the drawing clearly said not to scale. I had to scale mine down, but I can't remember by what.

Not true

I did receive an Iges file from fox for a FOX RC4, but it is corrupt. It partially opens and I can see the shock but then disappears. I would write the guy back that gave it to me, but it is not necessary since I received another shock file from another company as well.

I promised to not say who or what I received.

So, before you say such a broad and bogus statement, maybe you should know what you are talking about first.

If anybody else wants to try I suggest emailing all the vendors as I did and see what happens. I also received drawings from vendors as well other than the ones on the SRAM site.

i can understand for renderings but to just build geometry for clearances and fit shouldn't take someone more than about 10 minutes using the prints that seem to be available.

That being said it would be nice to have an iges with just perhaps the outer surfaces of the shock if the manufacturer is worried about releasing a solid.
