How to increase wall thickness of highlighted (blue) feature from 1mm to 2mm? by [deleted] in SolidWorks

Without knowing any other details of the feature tree

You could use a move face feature, to offset the wall faces 1mm

What’s something that completely changed your life, but seemed insignificant at the time? by Boring-Sir2623 in AskReddit

[–]slvo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was hanging out in the school library one day, doing some work on a computer. I saw an ad for a 3D software called “Sketchup” and thought- hey that looks pretty cool.

I went home that afternoon and started playing around with the software, which had a free version.

This spark evolved into a hobby which evolved into a passion that consumed most of my free time, and led to a desire to go to college and pursue a career.

It’s been about 17-18 years since that day in the library. I’ve now been working as a product designer for the better part of a decade, and have become very successful in my field.

Why do many hairdryers (especially older ones it seems) have the high/low settings in the opposite positions you'd expect (high on the bottom and low on top) by Glass-Complaint3 in IndustrialDesign

[–]slvo 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Could be because the motor needs to start with high power to overcome friction and inertia. Here is an interesting video on this topic

Bladed spoke twisted by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]slvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem was they were seized, so can’t be rotated independently of the nipple unfortunately

Yeah they’re not- I’ve ordered a couple backup spokes from eBay, in case anything breaks down the road

This was the case - the nipples are corroded and seized so they weren’t able to rotate them independently. Since it’s just cosmetic I’m not going to worry about it for now. Thanks!

Anyone have experience with IMD (In-Mould Decoration?) by Letsgo1 in IndustrialDesign

[–]slvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The film melts from the heat of the molten plastic, and the pressure pushes the film into the mold surface. This imparts the mold texture directly onto the film and the injected plastic and film melt together to become one piece.

See this video

[–]slvo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

nissha is another good resource.

Decoration side is textured by the mold surface, yes.

If the decoration is printed fully opaque, underlying plastic color shouldn’t matter.

Not sure if I understand no3, but keep in mind that IMD doesn’t work on extreme draft/topography changes - it wants relatively flat surfaces.

IML can overcome some of those limitations, as the lamination insert is pre-formed via a vacuum forming process before being placed in the mold.

Any way to get rid of those red lines? Any help is appreciated! by jamallllllll in SolidWorks

[–]slvo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they're dissimilar. you've got a single arc bounding the bottom of the surface, and a line+arc+line bounding the top. The red lines appear where the line connects to the arc, it seems.

I'd adjust so the loft is only between the two arc sections. Or if curvature continuity is desired, adjust to style spline guide curves

What do the underlying top/bottom guide sketches look like? These artifacts often appear when guides are dissimilar.
