How to FDM Print for Part Sliding Clearance

GrabCAD Tutorials
in Assemblies
13 4 Intermediate
If you are 3D printing parts that have to fit/slide together after printing, you will need to put some sort of clearance between those parts in your CAD system. A good starting place is a clearance 2x the layer height you are going to print at, but you should make a few smaller test prints at different clearances to see if the 2x layer height rule holds for your particular situation and orientation. Have fun and happy printing!

Параметризация модели через переменные в "Компас-3D"

Tutorial relevant for users "Kompas-3D". I don't know if they "Kompas-3D" is used in other countries, but I know "Kompas-3D" most popular in Russia, so further explanation will be in Russian. If you need English version, please comment tutorial, and I make translate. В данной заметке рассмотрено построение параметрической модели на примере корпуса микросхем типа QFP, модель строится в САПР «Компас-3D». Представленный ниже способ - лишь один из многих возможных. И я искренне надеюсь, что кому-то он поможет лучше разобраться 3D моделированием, а кто-то увидит, как оптимизировать процесс. Несмотря на то, что построение модели выполнялось в «Компас-3D», подобные механизмы могут присутствовать и в иных системах, так что возможно пригодится пользователям другого ПО. Описанный ниже способ предполагает наличие определенного навыка работы с 3D моделями, и не содержит подробного описания последовательностей нажатия клавиш, скорее описана методика построения и взаимосвязь объектов.

Matte or Glossy? Which Finish to Use for Your 3D Prints and When.

Alexa Nahum
in Modeling
9 0 Beginner
Matte or Glossy? That is the question. PolyJet users often ask themselves whether they should print a part with a matte finish or a glossy finish. And not without reason. The type of finish can totally alter the look, feel, color, and even strength and durability of two otherwise identical parts. Each option has its own benefits and implications that need to be considered. In this tutorial we will give an overview of matte and glossy, compare the pros and cons of each, and offer examples that clearly show what each finish type has to contribute. Finally, we will wrap up with a quick breakdown of when to use what.

Design a motorcycle in TinkerCAD. Step by Step instructions that are written for middle school aged students. If you have dual screens, watch on one, complete on the other. Otherwise, watch a little, then do a little. If you make something awesome, share an image @HLModtech on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter.

3D Modeling of a Braitenberg Vehicle in 4 Steps using Autodesk 123D Design

Yoana Ivanova
in Modeling
2 0 Intermediate
This tutorial is suitable for designers who have a basic knowledge of using the open source product Autodesk 123D Design. The steps to build a Breitenberg vehicle are as follows: 1. Modeling a wheel: a cylinder with a diameter of 2 cm and a height of 0.5 cm is placed in the workspace. Drill a hole in it by drawing a circle with a diameter of 0.3 cm and extruding - 0.5 cm with the Extrude tool. We soften the edges of the cylinder with Fillet Radius: 0.5. 2. Clone the wheel: rotate the resulting wheel 90° along the Z axis and copy it with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. 3. Modeling the vehicle body: regarding the design of the vehicle body, there are various options. In this case the author models a classic vehicle, which is most often shown in the bibliographic sources. After drawing and extruding a surface with the desired shape we apply Fillet with radius 35 on the back edge and with 30 on the front edge for a contemporary design (i could provide more images if it is needed). On the selected side edges we successively apply Fillet with a radius of 9. 4. Make a special place for the sensor: it is necessary to select the square plane that is located in the middle of the case and successively apply Sketch > Project, Sketch > Offset and Construct > Extrude with a negative value.

Before I know how to do it, I cannot get any useful tips while I googling, it seems very hard. But it is very easy now. This tutorial will help you to model a simple twisted pair wire, for detailed twisted pair wire you can explore it by yourself. A model which modeled by this tutorial is in this linked page: https://grabcad.com/library/w-1930-1575-twisted-pair-wire-1.

It is not obvious to create twisted bar in SpaceClaim, e.g. for welded grating. I hope this lifehack will help You to make it in different cad programs. Как скрутить пруток в SpaceClaim, например для решетчатого настила. Подозреваю, что этот способ можно применять и в других программах.
