[I posted this also in https://www.reddit.com/r/KNEX/, but this forum seems to have more action.]
I have a small group of 8th grade students working on a K'Nex project that requires the creation of some sort of blueprints (either by hand or computer). We're looking to try building our model in a CAD program, but I've found very few good resources online. (Note, the blueprints do not have to be photo-realistic. They could even be abstract, e.g. balls and sticks in Paint.)
We've tried MLCAD, which is a bit cumbersome (as it's designed primarily for LEGO), but is potentially doable. (I found an old instructable at http://www.instructa...Model-On-MlCad/ and the parts at http://knexguntutori...x-software.html.)
I also found online https://grabcad.com/...cent&query=knex, which has the main parts individually. It seems the parts are mostly available for the SOLIDWORKS CAD program.
Does anyone have any experience or suggestions for making K'Nex blueprints in CAD?
