Advanced Design Techniques
Using a layout sketch
Suppressing features to create part configurations
Creating a new part in the context of the assembly
Detecting collisions in assemblies
Creating the sketch and extrusion
Adding the holes onto the part and dimensioning them
First equation, setting the correct distances between the holes, saying the at the distance of 60 divided by 2 is 30, and the distance of 120 divided by 3 is 40.
Mirroring the holes alone a vertical centerline
Second equation showing that the distance of 120 dived by 5 would be 24, since there were 5 lines that went across the top of the hinge to create the inner and outer cuts.
Image showing the distance of 24 between the vertical lines on the top of the hinge part
Image showing innercuts, with the outercuts suppressed
Image showing outercuts, with the other side suppressed
Creating the pin in the assembled part
Gif of the hinge before collision detection, showing how the hinge went through the other side of the part.
Gif of the hinge part with collision detection, showing the hinge stopping when it detects there is another part there.
SolidWorks Motion Analysis
SolidWorks Motion Analysis
SOLIDWORKS Motion Tutorial
Run a SOLIDWORKS Motion study for a model that includes a spring and a motor.
Plot the results.
Duplicate the motion study with modified simulation parameters.
Use the results to redesign the model.

Adding the cuts outs to the top of the part
This is the second part of the motor, the part that goes inside the hole

Gif of the finished motor in SolidWorks
Sketched a rectangle, and a circle and mirrored the circle over the centerline
Extruded cut on the circles
Sketching a line on top of the rectangle
Extruded the line

Design of the Outer Box
Design of the Outer Box
Image of the first part of the main box.
Gif of the first part of the main box. There is a hole on top for the switch and a hole for the motor on the inside.
Gif of the box put together, which is the first part of the box with the hinge, which is the second part of the box. Collision detection is turned on so the hinge stops at a certain point.
This is a gif of the arm. It is suppose to be a giraffe. The head was made using lofts.
Gif of the part made to go on top of the switch, which is supposed to look like leaves.
Gif of the leave on top of the switch.
Image of what it looks like when the arm hits the switch, and the giraffe hits the leaves.
Gif of the arm (giraffe) coming out of the box and hitting the switch (the leaves)
Test Prints
Test Prints
The main thing that was test printed was the hinge. It was cut down so that only the moving part of the hinge was 3D printed.

Gif of the slicer
Image of the first test print. The hinge moved, but it didn't move smoothly.
This is an image of the new hinge. The distance between the pin and the part was increased from 0.25 to 0.75mm.
This is a gif of the new hinge. It moves freely, and works better.
