Hi,

I want to build surroundings for my windows that repeat the original
plastic surroundings, but I am very bad at measuing.

Anyone has some drawings with detailed measurements?

I am talking about these: https://www.gmcrvparts.com/product-p/wincas-6.htm

I want to feed my CNC router with the details and make a housing to hold
some blinds or louvres.

Thank you for the hint. Will be a perfect start.

@Billy Massey: The lonk to the window trim is wrong. It currently points
to te end pieces as well.

Unfortunately, my STL viewer (fstl) as well as editor (FreeCAD) are not
able to read "1973 to 1976 Window Trim Corner.stl" - one doesn't show
anything (not even an error), the other one only shows an error.

The other 3D files I tried from bdub's page, trim cap end and the latch
file, work okaish. Still a warning, but able to view them.

Anyone able to access the Window Trim Corner file, and maybe re-export
it, and/or convert the outline to SVG?

I can't open that file in SolidWorks either. No error message.

Are you wanting to use the file to print on a weed eater string machine or are you wanting to Change to a cad file to use on a c&c machine?

Sir, my friend says the STL file may be bad or corrupt. He says he will try to debug it with SOLIDWORKS or GRABCAD. If that doent work he will send to a friend who has MAGICS that should be able to fix STL files. He says if that don’t work we can redraw the file in SOLIDWORKS if we got a new old stock part, which I do. Anyway I’ll let you know what happens.

I took a look at the files that were referenced and they are sort of
correct. The basic problem is that several of the origin CAD files are
not "watertight" models and have naked edges. If the original CAD files
were available they should be able to be fixed and the STL files
regenerated to that they would print correctly.

It would be really nice if there was a collection point for
CAD/printable files so all of us could benefit and print out replacement
parts. I am just as guilty as I have a bunch of the cabinetry modeled
for the complete remodel that I am doing. I am sure there are a few
others that could benefit from my work and make it much easier to cut
the wall panels with all the curves in them. So are there others out
there that have modeled portions of the GMC that others could benefit
from too? Maybe we can build a library of parts for people to use.

There are a few things up at Thingiverse. Maybe that is the best place
to consolidate all the printable files. Here is a link to several of the
parts I have found over time up on Thingiverse and maybe something there
will help someone else:
https://www.thingiverse.com/wt0f/collections/rv-items. If you have
anything up there or plan on putting something up there, might I suggest
you tag the project with "gmc" and "rv" to make it easier to find items.

As for the window corner trim, all of my window trim is currently
removed and I could bring a corner piece home to model and create a
correct model of it. But that will not happen until after Christmas.
Should not take too long to build the model but will just be delayed
because of the holiday and travel plans.

Hi Gerard

This page, http://www.bdub.net/3D_Printing/, was created several years ago when printing your own parts was in its infancy. There was only one GMCer, that I know of, doing it at the time, actually studying, learning, and practicing it on his own. He wanted to share but did not want his name mentioned.

Anyhow, I'd be happy to store all the stl or other format printer files for the community on this page as well. As we found out many years ago that trusting a generic file sharing site IS NOT SAFE. Hundreds of photos that would have been of great value to the future (now current) community were lost when they folded or just ceased to exist. Thus, www.gmcmhphotos.com was born.

Any suggestions on how to present, index, describe these files would be appreciated.

bdub

I would also be willing to set up a CAD files resource area on GMCMHforum (https://www.gmcmhforum.com/resources/). Nicely organized. Let me know which way you guys want to go.

Bdub Sounds Like a good plan. All the others are good as well. The good thing is: it doesn't cost anything the more we distribute the files. I have a place on gmcmh.de as well. Create, distribute it, build it. Don't put everything in one basket

I just added "CAD Files" in the Resources section of GMCMHforum. You can upload them there if you like. If you're not already a member, it's free to join. Cheers! https://www.gmcmhforum.com/resources/categories/cad-files.33/

I have created a new drawing for the corner piece of the window trim
corner. I will now add some more layers to it to create open "boxes"
around the windows to control blinds or similar items.

In case anyone wants to have my current version, let me know.
