Soldiworks process and Initial Errors
Soldiworks process and Initial Errors
Initial Errors:
Struggled to allow enough tolerance to prevent print from printing together
Needed to alter initial design and add 2.50 mm cuts so pieces could slip and turn together
Had to find a way to get chains to print evenly without floating
ended up printing on side for solution.
