Hey guys, I want to design my own plastic enclosure that is waterproof (maybe 3D print it). In basic terms, it would be a rectangular basin type design with a lid that fits over the top. Once it fits over the top. It should not be able to be removed. I want to avoid using glue or screws. What...

Hi Mike, Thanks for your breakdown and explanation. It has made things much more clear.

By spring length, I mean the free, unloaded length of the spring. I do not know the force exerted on the spring as I cannot measure it. The height of the fully compressed spring is about 0.8mm. I realise that I am probably missing too many variables here but theoretically will the actual...

Thanks for the reply. I was looking at that site trying to figure it out. What I mean is; is it possible to keep the same spring stiffness, the same number of coils (turns) and same wire diameter if I was was to reduce the free length of the spring from 7mm to 5mm? My instincts suggest that if...

I need to reduce the length of a conical helical compression spring without changing the spring stiffness or the number of coils in the spring. To do this, will I need to change the spring wire diameter? Spring length is changing from 7mm to 5mm. Number of active springs = 3 Large outer...

Hi Beachcomber, I am using version ST5. I tried adding extra cross sections but i start getting errors. I am a total noob at surfacing and most of the my attempts at getting this model somewhat correct is by trial and error.

Anyone have any experience with this kind of problem before???

Hi, I have a bit of a problem with my blue surf when i want to thicken it to a solid and i need a quick fix. Basically after i draw my sketch and do a blue surf, there is a point on my surface that is skewed and it will not allow me to thicken properly. I have tried deleting some of the nurbs in...

Thanks again beachcomber. I played around with it and did as you said and it worked perfectly! I will try to find more tutorials to try to improve my surfacing. Cheers.

Thanks for the response beachcomber, it has helped me out some bit. I have 3 questions: 1) I had a look at your part and i am trying to figure out your steps when you did the BlueSurf. For instance what point did you start with, cross-scetion chosen etc? I tried recreating the BlueSurf but no...

Hi I am new to surfacing in Solid Edge and am having a few difficulties with my current design. I have looked through various tutorials online but have not any success with my own design. Basically my problem is as follows: When i added a surface to the sketch, i chose an intersection point...
