Modelling the Blok™

Using the Extrude tool, the square is extruded out 50mm making a cube of dimensions 50x50x50

All edges are then curved using the Fillet tool

End of Initial Blok 

The sketch tool is used to add an axis to each plane 

Using the sketch tool, we begin to draw a cricle 

The circle is extruded to remove 2mm in depth

Another circle is drawn inside of the previous one 

The new circle is also extruded to remove, but this time only 1mm in depth

Using the 3 axis from before, the holes are copied on each side of the cube using the circular pattern tool 

The blok now has identicle pattern on all sides 

The Hollow tool is also used here to hollow out the inside, preparing for the next step

A rectangle is sketched on the front plane, indicating the top half of the Blok being removed

The top half is removed

The right half of the Blok is looking to be removed again, indicated by the sketch 

The right half is removed, leaving only 1/4 of the Blok left to develop further

A circle is sketched onto the front plane

The sketched circle is used to extrude and remove circles from the surfaces of the Blok 

The circle removed through extrusion is copied using the axis in 8 instances using the circular pattern tool

The Blok now has holes on each edge and corner

Using the sketch tool, an angled axis is made 

The same axis is copied on an angle to align with the lower vertex

Using the plane tool, an angled plane is made following the axis sketched 

Using the new angled plane, a circle is sketched that algins in a straight line with the vertex of the Blok

Using the extrude tool the sketched circle is removed to leave a hole on the vertex 

The Blok is then further removed, to only leave 1/8 of the original Blok

Now with the 1/8th of the Blok, a angled axis is made to add another angled plane on the axis

Using the angled plane, a hole with diameter 6.5mm is made 

With holes now complete, the edges of the Blok is filleted 

This section is now complete

On one of the surfaces of the Blok from the previous step, a circle is sketched

The circle is extruded to leave a cylinder inside of the Blok

On another side the same circle is extruded, but now with another circle inside of it

The inner circle is added to the previous side and is now extruded to remove creating a hole

Another circle is sketched on the surface of the connector holes. This circle's diameter is slightly smaller than the outermost circle

This inner circle is then extruded to remove again, creating a deeper extrude. This is copied onto the other surface as well

The edges of these holes are then filleted 

This portion of the blok is mirrored to finish this section

A new document is made and on the front plane, a circle with radisu 5.8 is sketched

The circle is extruded 0.6mm 

Another circle is skecthed inside the extruded surface

The circle sketched is extruded 6.5mm in height, but with a 3 degree draft for the extrusion to have a slope down the line

A sketch is made on the side profile of the pin

The sketch is extruded to create a lip on the tip of the pin

A rectangle is sketched onto the side profile of the pin to remove through extrusion

The rectangle is removed

the bottom edge of the removed rectangle is rounded at the base of the pin

The edges of the whole extrusion is filleted 

the pin is finished with a mirror making it both sided 

In the assembly, the parts of the pin and the Blok witht the connector pin holes are inserted to assemble together

using the fastening tool, the edges of the pin is selected 

The edge of the hole on the blok is also selected

The two edges are stuck together to fasten the pieces 

this is done for all four pins 

A blok piece without the pin is added to fasten with the assembled part from earlier 

The previous part with the pins is inserted again to fasten with the book piece without the pins

Finally, another empty blok piece without the pins is added to fasten with the rest of the blok pieces

After the assembly, the cross-section can be viewed to confirm all of the pins are secured in the connector holes
