Default Differential explained

After taking an Inventor class I took the time to draw up a rear diff. and got to use my schools rapid prototyping and stereolithography machines.

the input/pin tolerance is a bit off so it moves around a bit. ill be printing another one next week that is a bit more tight.

Thats really cool man, youre using autodesk inventor right?

Did you take the inventor class in your school? Ive had inventor for about a month and I used it for one project, but I still need a lot of help on using it lol. I took a class where they taught me stuff on solidworks, but its really basic.

The consensus is that Inventor is harder to use than SolidWorks, and it's worse if you already know SolidWorks.
