Summary

In this creation, I used sketch offsets, extrudes, and cuts to create my own telescoping fidget that looks like a pentagon but look closer, it isn't! Working with a partner although we did not have the same designs, definitely made this project easier. (a partner  is not required but very much recommended!)

 

Figure constraints

  • The sketch must begin with a constraint box,               (center-rectangle created from the origin)
  • Your outermost outline must fit within an 8cm x 8cm box or equivalent area (64cm2)
  • Dimensions/Relations should be efficient. 
  • It is not required to fully define your entire sketch, but it will help.
  • The sketch must contain zero error messages.
  • Demonstrate efficient use of “Offset Entities”


 

  Instructions


 

  1. Create a new part
  2. Import your image into solidworks
  3. Trace your image onto a new plane
  4. Reverse offset your image inward until it breaks, then delete the last one
  5.  Boss extrude the outermost offset 1 cm and 25 degrees (this could be set to “blind” however the rest will be set to “up to surface”
  6. Select the second outermost ring and extrude cut and set it to 25 degrees
  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until you reach the center
  8. Mirror the object about the right plane


 

Overview and design choices


 

I began by trying to find inspiration on google, and landed upon a silhouette of a pentagon, however you may notice, my print in place has six sides. This was a mistake that turned into a design idea. the top of the pentagon being cut off gave it an originality

I decided to start the  offset angle to 15 degrees. This was the most visually pleasing of all of the different angles, giving it a  depth not seen in the others. After that printed, i changed it to 20 degrees, and it took a bit too clumped up for my tastes, so i changed it back.

 


 

Finally, the last change i made came in the form of thickness. As seen in the photos below, it was originally gargantuan, however was then changed to a more handheld size. This helps with its portability, and allows for more offsets to appear.
