Design Review & Feedback
On Tuesday, October 6 we had our Design Review! We presented the CAD of our yo-yo thus far, and got some really good feedback on how we can improve our design especially with DFM in mind.
Some feedback we received:
Consider alternate ways we can create the center post for the Star part.
Press fit the pin in while the part is still cooling?
Think about making the design more 3D to show the worth of using IM. If it's all 2D, then you could easily just laser cut pieces.
Hollow out TF stand to make the vacuum process work better, plus waste less material.
Possibly print a pattern on the TF plastic to make it look more like a mountain range.
Tolerances are a bit tight, consider making them looser.
Why choose 0.005" over 0.01" ??
Are one-sided tolerances necessary for some of your parts ??
We'll be using our feedback to revise our CAD model!
