I have to make the trimmer heads like on the far left using global dimensions where they can resize to any length. I am struggling to finish the design, I'll attach my file to show what mine looks like. Can someone please help me get the final product drawn, or offer me tips on how to finish based on what I have done so far.
Is there a version that isnt a read only file, so I could see the process of making each shape. No problem if there isnt, thanks for the help though.
Nick,
Here is a screen shot of the features. Looks like your assignment involves equations so not sure if what I did will help. The only thing that changes from one to the other is the length of the main extrude feature.
Did you start out with a sketch that looked something like this?
I started with a profile from the side.
Then one tooth ...
Then a pattern of teeth using a sketch of points spaced with construction lines on the front face.
Your overall sketch from the top is a reasonable way to do it and may be more applicable to the assignment.
It looks like you may have mixed up the gap between the teeth with the tooth thickness.
What do you think of this. I tried getting it as close as possible. It's a lot better than how I started.
Looks good ... Looks like the outer teeth are a different width than the rest. As long as changing the width of the part keeps the tooth width consistent you should be good.
Nick,
It's not to your scale but it will give you one way to do it. Using a sketch driven pattern for the teeth will allow the length to change and the teeth to space correctly.
