I'm looking for suggestions on how to model this part better.I threw this together the other day for my co-worker who needed itfor a presentation, and you can see that I took a few shortcuts.
Instead of sweeping the entire wire rope, I simply made parts andassembled them together. I was having trouble getting both ends tomate concentrically to their respective holes in the flat bars forsome reason....so I cheated and cut a flat on the top end to mateit parallel with an edge....I was in a hurry and never went back tofix it/find out what was wrong.
FYI....the final size of the shock mount was intended to be 10.5"long, 7" tall, and 9.5" from edge off one rope to the edge of theother.
Anyway...my question is on how to best draw the wire rope in onepiece without it becoming too advanced and looking like a majorscience project. :-)
