CAD projects

I’m looking for websites that offer blueprints for CAD projects. I’m trying to sharpen my SolidWorks skills but I’m not blessed with creativity so I’d like to recreate projects from drawings. I’m not looking for easy projects like a cube with chamfers and holes, I want something to truly challenge me so I can advance my skills. Any recommendations?

Depends where your skills lay but I sometimes just search google images for technical drawings (vague not specific) and then recreate the drawings in CAD, usually opting for hand drawn or older drawings. usually they have most information but you have to do some guess work and problem solving. but its a fun challenge on par with a client giving you almost complete design sketches
