The main piece of learning I attempted with this project was to reduce the number of iterations from idea to actuality.
The design brief was to make a shelf that would hold the a pace display unit at the right angle for a swimmer in our new pool. The shelf sits snugly on a galvanised pole with rounded corners. This build dimension was the limit of my printer.
What helped
Using paper and printing pieces of the design to test concepts, fit and function. I also used the actual dimensions of the object in the drawing.
Onshape functions to use https://cad.onshape.com/help/index.htm#cshid=sketch_tools_transform
Transform - select shapes and move them. I used this to position the pace unit model onto the design when check that things would fit.
