v5

You have to find them all individually. However, some softwares (such as Onshape) have internal or external libraries you can access. Search up “software name + VEX V5 library”, and either a repository site with a zip file or a tutorial video should pop up. What software do you use?

exp

Unless it crosses over with V5 or other products, EXP CAD files are limited. Parts such as the brain have no CAD files on the VEX website to my knowledge. You still have to search them up individually without a repository (similar to V5 above). I made a post before with most of the links to the availible EXP files in the classroom kit:

EXP Step Files

Apparently you’re going to have to search them all up individually (sorry). Here’s some of the VEX pages for them: Distance Sensor Optical Sensor 5.5w motor Bumper switch (slightly different one) Shafts Sprockets & Chains Gears Wheels (some of them) Some structure Standoffs Screws Standoff Retainers However, the: brain, controller, some structure, and a few other things do not have CAD files.

VEX V5 CAD Library for Fusion 360

The one @RoboCatz linked is the most up to date Fusion 360 library as of now… even though it’s almost two years old. It does not have any of the VEX parts released since then, but you can just download and import those ones which isn’t too hard. I don’t currently have plans to update the library right now, unless someone wants to step up and help work on it. I gave a (slightly) longer explanation here.

VEX CAD Fusion 360 Parts Library Release Log

Version 1.0.0 Aidan and George from @thirddegree, @andrewef2000, and I are proud to announce the release of the VEX CAD Library for Fusion 360! This library is based on the hard work done by the contributors of the VEX CAD Inventor Library. This parts library includes a number of parametric parts such as adjustable length C-channels and gears with swappable inserts that can be edited using our custom add-in. The add-in is not required to use this library but is highly suggested for your ease …

Onshape has its own library

I believe there are VEX officials in the main VEX discord, however I can’t say for sure (I’m not allowed in there due to my affiliation with SkillsUSA)

VEX Public Discord Server List

Hello, everyone! I have created a document so we can have a list of the current VEX discord servers, so there will be no more need of trying to hassle through the forum to find a link for other users. If you would like to request a server to be added, it must have at least more than 50 users in it, as well as the link MUST have it set to never expire. I want to see this document grow, so suggest away!
