LEGO - 01 Basic Dimensions & Bricks Explained

dk

68 9 Intermediate
I get a lot of questions about how I create LEGO parts. This is Part I - The Basics. Most "standard" parts can be created using only simple math. Standard parts consist of square, circular, and angled blocks - regular geometric blocks. I will refer to BrickLink (www.bricklink.com/), but many others use similar methods: Peeron: http://www.peeron.com/ BrickOwl: http://www.brickowl.com/ Brickipedia: http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/LEGO_Wiki etc.

How to design a M10 Hex Nut using Autodesk Inventor 2020

1 5 Beginner
In this tutorial i will be showing how to create a M10 Hex Nut using Autodesk Inventor 2020.Normally people create a polygon followed by extruding it and later creating a hole of 10 mm to design one, but that is not enough.We need to do the following steps of creating a polygon, extruding it, create a taper of 45 degree on the top and bottom surface followed by creating a hole and later threading it. Another issue noticed in Autodesk Inventor 2020 is that the thread created on the surface is not the real thread and is just a texture map.Hence we will show you on how to create an actual thread.
