This was such an easy tutorial to understand, however on 3D printing, there is no tolerance and the bolt does not fit into the nut. What settings can I change to account for that? I've read that .4mm is a good distance between threads planes
I dont understand why you did some things "the long way" as I would call it. Why not do the thread removing in the sweep instead of the boolean? For the derive thing I get why you have to use the boolean. however, I did like the process you showed and the explanation of some of the math Edit: when inserting parts into an assembly you can just click the green arrow before placing it down and it will snap to the origin, if you havent figured that out by now
I am teaching students who are using CAD software for the first time. So, a lot of times I do it so that I can teach new concepts or tools. But I always appreciate good feedback. Thanks!
Genuinely one of the best tutorials I found on RU-vid, I found some other older ones and they were a little confusing and didn't give me the best finished product. But I thought the techniques that were used in this video we're much more simpler and easier to follow. I really appreciated how if something didn't work out correctly that they showed you how to go back and fix it and didn't just redo it an edit it out
It is a tutorial video for my HS students. It usually takes them an hour to follow along and create this project. There are 2 goals. 1. Create a CAD model of spiral threads on a nut and bolt using the helix tool. 2. Create an assembly that illustrates the linear and circular motion relationship between the two parts. Hope this helps.
@@phillvigil5702 Any reason you are using the boolean tool to substract the threads from the bolt instead of just using the remove option during sweep?
@@Rampatuolistani yeah i was thinking the same thing like, "what? why would you do all that extra work?" my friends call me the lazy engineer, so any work that i can cut down on myself i do. and i also think that would be easier for HS students to follow along with, especially since i am one. im probably a lot better at modeling and printing than the students hes showing this video though. i designed my own bong lmfao
@@Rampatuolistani The boolean functions are common to all 3D design software. I came from AutoCAD to Onshape and there are a lot of workflow shortcuts that Onshape provides that aren't always available in other CAD software. I try to teach concepts that are transferrable to other programs and once they understand the concept, I show them the shortcut. I actually love the way Onshape has designed its workflow to combine functions.
Superb, outstanding, excellent video with lots of new features taught. One small point: At the end, the nut appears to rotate opposite the thread direction. This should resolve by setting in the Screw Relation, but it appears AFTER the cylindrical mate (and its animation) in the feature tree. Thank you very much.
That was a big mistake...I didn't realize the rotation error until I had posted the video and I wasn't going to redo the whole thing to correct it...now I wish I had. Glad you noticed and have posted how to correct the mistake for others who have found it! Thanks
