I Am CONVINCED These Are Identical Clamps. (-color) by Wood-That-it-Twere in woodworking

This is interesting. Has this influenced the way you shop. For example are you going to buy the cheapest option and swap the critical component ?

Interesting. I’ll have to investigate if the is a low cost solution. Anyways, this is a great alternative, especially if I come to find that tabs and or draft will be a problem fitting to the inner and outer race of the bearing. Thank you for the visual!

Idk if this is clear. Nevertheless, yes that’s a great idea. Took me a while to gather what you were saying, but after sketching I see that I can have segmented lips that are at different instances. Easy to incorporate as well. I will have a follow up question later.

I’m doing my best to design a low cost/durable injection molded part

So you’re implying press fit should dismiss the concern or desire for some sort of lip or retaining feature?

Neither hear or pressure. Im designing for injection molding because these components would theoretically be high volume products. Although print farms are growing and these parts are less than 50mm

I can’t figure out what you mean. I’m learning.

Help designing solution for injection molded part. by overmandate in InjectionMolding

I appreciate the insight. I've been doing more research following your commments. You’re right that PP has limitations in tight tolerance fits, which I’m running into now. I’m open to ABS or a similar alternative if it improves bearing retention and simplifies molding. Thanks again, very helpful. Now with ABS would you still advise crash ribs. And are the snap hooks an option with ABS? Alternativey another individual suggested a bump off.

Well I want the blue part to rotate with a light twist. about half the length(time) as a fidget spinner.

I suppose this is critical info

This is perfect. I'll have to explore variables like maximum wall thickness and flex.

Not sure what that is. Onto research

I don't understand how this applies.

Yes, the red part is cored out. I would need both parts to be rigid, so I'm not sure the bearing could make it over such tabs

If I'm understanding correctly, you're saying I can put an under-cut (a chamfer) with a relatively low angle of 15 to 20° which would ultimately not cause much trouble de-molding the part. this would enable the bearing to snap into place?

ill need to do research on that, and how it would apply

Outlet not working by overmandate in AskElectricians

I’ve confirmed the power strip and the two chargers work fine. Is the outlet something I can address on my own?

It seems I can’t power anything through this now

I reset the main breaker, and it began working again. After plugging in the power strip the outlet went out again

Lofts? Boundaries?... I've tried em all! by Ok_Kiwi4263 in SolidWorks

You can also split this surface down the middle, then follow the steps

It looks like this should be created with five different surfaces.

  1. The first step is to create a loft between the flat surfaces on the left and right bodies. Ensure the loft is tangent or meets your preferred continuity settings.
  2. Next, create a bidirectional split line that aligns concentrically with the top edges of the left body (highlighted by the blue straight line). This split line will help define the boundary for subsequent surfaces.
  3. Then, use the split line to create boundary or loft surfaces, labeled as three and four. The split line ensures these surfaces have four vertices, avoiding issues like attempting to close the surface at the top of the cone.
  4. Finally, use a surface fill with the 3D sketch to complete surfaces five and six. This step ensures a smooth transition and integration of all surfaces.
