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!
