CAMm2

In this module I continued to work on my espresso pot from CAMm1. This task was divided to two days of work.

Day 1

Today I finished working on my espresso pot. I made every part in seperate file, I also finished parts that was started in CAMm1.

 
Next step was to create subassemblies and main assembly so it would look like in the dwf that we received.

This time I added screws, washers and nuts from Content Center. Every part was also fully constraint.
This is how it looks after today.

Day 2

Today I worked on mini version of my espresso pot. We got some of the new dimensions, but most of them we had to figure out ourselves.

I started by copying project folder and renamig it as Espressokanne_mini. Then I started to work on changing the parts. After making few changes I wanted to check if the "big" espresso pot hasn't change. Unfortunately it did. I don't know why it did, besause i change the project file before making any changes. So I had to rename all of the sub- and main assemblies by adding "mini" to the names.
I also turned Inventor off and on again. Don't know which helped but the most importand thing is that now it works.

My constraints was well maid (I'm so smart :D) so after problem I described earlier, assemblies weren't such a problem. This is how the mini version looks like now.

After I finished mini version I returned to big espresso pot and made an presentation and animation.


Here is how it looks when disassembled:

And here is animation:

After the animation I started to work on my drawings. First I made assembly drawing (from presentation file) with parts list, and then production drawings of each of the parts.

Then I made dwf file with all of the drawings and 3D model.

As you can see I used much more time on drawing than expected. It is still not easy for me, but I'm learning how to make them accurate as well as "quick" drawn. I used also more time on the presentation but I think it was time well spent.

All in all it was great task aand I had a lof of fun with it.
