Hi I can refine your existing OpenSCAD/STL and STEP concept into a fabrication-ready benchtop oboe reed profiling/scraping machine, including a fully detailed STEP assembly, dimensioned workshop drawings, BOM, critical tolerances, and practical manufacturing/assembly notes. A few questions: 1. Do you already have the preferred blade, linear guide, bearing, and adjustment hardware specified? 2. Are there target tolerances or required reed-profile accuracy that I should design around? 3. Do you have any preferred materials/manufacturing processes for the frame, carriage, cam templates, and blade holder? I’m ready to review the existing files and develop the design into a clean, manufacturable package. Best regards

This is exactly the type of CAD modelling and mechanical detailing work I do regularly. I am Irish, now living in the Philippines, with 15+ years of mechanical design and fabrication experience. I work primarily in Autodesk Inventor and I am also a qualified metal fabricator, so I focus on making designs practical to machine, fabricate, assemble, adjust, and maintain. For this project, I can take your existing OpenSCAD/STL and STEP concept files and develop them into a clean, production-ready mechanical assembly. I can refine the plaque and mandrel arrangement, interchangeable cam template, guided carriage, adjustable blade mechanism, clearances, adjustment features, fasteners, and critical interfaces while keeping the original concept and avoiding copying existing commercial products. I can provide a complete STEP assembly and part set, dimensioned PDF workshop drawings, BOM with materials and critical tolerances, and concise manufacturing/assembly notes. My focus will be smooth mechanical operation, repeatable adjustment, simple fabrication, and clear documentation so a workshop can quote and build the machine without unnecessary questions.

The risk here is turning the conceptual Solidworks draft into fabrication-ready shop drawings. I handle this by detailing every part for clear machining. I'd rebuild the assembly in Solidworks, focusing on manufacturability of the guided carriage and adjustable blade mechanism. The interchangeable cam template mount needs precise alignment. I'll use standard fasteners where possible and specify materials like anodized aluminum for the frame and hardened steel for the blade holder. The design will be based on the provided STEP draft but improved for workshop use. I'd build the blade holder first, so I can then design the carriage around it and ensure the adjustment mechanism works smoothly before adding the larger frame components. Track record on here: 5.0 across 10 reviews, 100% on time and 100% on budget. This accuracy is critical for your machine. What is the target precision for the reed surface flatness after scraping? Send the current OpenSCAD and STEP files.
