CAD files: Skateboard Wheels/Bearings/wheelnut

I just uploaded 2 new files to the open database of the project. 1/1 Scale CAD files of Wheels, bearings, and wheelnut in .3dm and .stp formats licensed under Creative Commons 3.0 like all other files of the DIY skateboard project. Export to your favorite render engine and make it shine. This files were used on my first designs of the Folha Seca skateboard, rendered in Cinema 4D.

Skateboard Truck CAD Model for download

Back in 2007, I modeled this skateboard truck in Rhino to help the design process of the Folha Seca skateboard. It was published at the ecosk8 blog back then but since our new website, the file wasn't available. After getting some comments from people requesting the file, I now published it on Letsevo's open database. Enjoy the model! make it better, send news of what you make with it.

DIY Skateboard from waste

As consumption grows, much of our already limited natural resources become more and more endangered. The amount of waste generated mainly in developed economies is a problem to be tackled if we ought to try to solve the environment crisis.

“DIY SKATEBOARD From Waste” is a skateboard built from stuff people trow away. By utilizing an open source philosophy, my goal is to promote the sport of skateboard and to help people to be aware of what can be done with a little bit of creative power.
