When we partners finally met we got our bearing and looked through the sketches that I had made and the foam core model. Having agreed on the model we did measurements and determined that our loose fit would be a 6.35 mm diameter and our tight fit would be a 6.26 mm diameter. The two holes on the large base piece would be loose fits while the hole in the offset circle and the arm would be tight fits. Getting the sketches into solidworks is always harder than I anticipate. The first step was to get all of the individual parts sketched into solidworks.
Turned into this....
And this
Becomes this
And finally the last piece, the arm
Becomes a solidworks piece
At this point, we decided we needed an iteration. Lyn brought up that having washers are a good idea and we do need the washers to hold the loose fit pieces in place. We decided to draw up four washers as a tight fit.
And with that all of our solid works parts were done. The next section will be on how we made these parts into an assembly!
