Cylinder-Cam Tutorial Help

Has anyone in this forum completed the Cylinder Cam offered by Doctor J
Mather. I guess it is a little beyond the knowledge that I have of
Solidworks right now, and I would appreciate it if anyone does have the
Solidworks file, if they would be so kind as to share it with me so
that I can see (hopefully), how it is completed. I am hoping that by
turning back the design tree, I will be able to see something that I am
evidentally missing. The tutorial may be designed for an intermediate
user, which I am definitely not right now.
TIA

While you're waiting for something better,
you might nose around on mcadforums.com.
There might be a copy there already.
Search the forum and look in the files
section.

I didn't catch all of the previous thread
re the subject so this might not be anything new ...

.... will give you the fundamentals for an alternative
method of driving such a mechanism. I once saw a pic
of an (Cory McConnell?) IV model driven similarly with
about a dozen rollers riding a large cam. Kinda cool.

 

Erika,
I don't exactly qualify as an "intermediate" user either, but
eventually I did complete Dr. Mather's brilliant tutorial. It was
especially difficult for me, because the good Doctor employs mostly
Surface Geometry in his presentation, which at that time was totally
alien to me, after having just started to learn Solid Geometry.
I have put the Solidworks file and a rendered jpg file on my web site
for you, in the zip format, at this link:
