ctopher, I'm continually amazed at the capabilities of Solidworks :)
I think I just got in a rut of thinking I could only use the helix creator to make this thing. I forgot about the "twist along path" option.
Hello tippers,
I'm trying to figure out a way to make a "coiled coil" in Solidworks, or basically a helix curve which axially follows another helical path (think light bulb filament) or any arbitrary path. It seems that Solidworks by itself can't do it (or prove me wrong!) but I figure there...
If it's not clear from the picture, the hole is through-all. I basically need attach tiles of this high temperature sheetrock-like material together with what is basically bailing wire. The wire tends to grind at the holes' edges, so I wanted to insert some piece like this in the holes. I...
Every few months or so, I try to find a piece of hardware that looks like this (that will not function as a flanged sleeve bearing, usually found in plastic or bronze), but I can never find it (on McMaster or wherever). I need it to be steel and small (=~1/4" OD) and it just needs to function...
