Hi all,
I am creating a work out machine and the major component is a barbell w/ sleeves that turns.
As you can see in the attached zip file, I have all of the parts.
I have the barbell, the sleeves, and the latches....what I do not know how to do is make it so I can have a barbell with sleeves BUT still be able to turn the center, longest, smallest bar.
I also was curious if anyone had an idea of how to attach the latches to the barbell....I have messed around with weld bead but unless someone knows how to explain it, I am not sure exactly how to use it to connect the bar.
Thank you for any help,
Matthew
Now look at this weldment.
I didn't take the time to start over from scratch - but it probably would have been more logical to place the Barbell Connector at the origin, or the center of the hole on the Bar Connector.
Either way - we now have a workplane going right through the center of the sub-assembly.
As an instructor - I would emphasize the use of symmetry about the origin from day 1 (actually, from hour 1) of instruction. Far more efficient.
Examine this feature tree VERY carefully.
