Usb cassette tape production diary

I started by creating a simple cuboid with the parameters 55mm by 35mm by 6mm. Then using the similar method as the usb plug i then created 2 circles and a rectangle. After turning these shapes into an editable polly i then selected the polygon selection. And selected extrude, the amount wasn't important as it was designed to go through the cuboid. Now after i placed them through the the cuboid i went to the create control panel and selected compound objects menu. Here i was able to select boleon and using this and selected the operant b and the 3 shapes this deleted the intersections.

USB TIP DESIGN PRODUCTION DIARY

First i looked at the dimensions of a USB connector which is around 11x4mm. To fit this i used the customise tab and changed unit set up to millimetres. I then typed 11mm by 11mm by 4mm and zoomed in to the ready made box. I found the grid was too big so i right clicked a snap tool and changed it.

I then flicked to my front viewport. I then created a rectangle with the edge and traced the cuboid. And pulled it away so i can see it. After i changed the corner radius by 0.2mm. I then moved it whilst holding the shift key and hit copy. I then changed the colour or one of the splines to tell the difference but then i needed to connect the two together. To do this i clicked one and converted it to an editable spline. That gives me more tools. I then went on the geometry roll out and selected attach tool and changed the name to USB PROFILE 1.

I then used the extrusion modifier and it added a surface to the shape. I added 11.0mm to the amount. I added 7 segments and copied the shape. I then went into top view and added a box using snap tools so that it sticks to the edges and segments.

With the box i enabled it out of both sides of the cuboid. And copied it. I then used the Boolean tool as it is used like a cookie cutter. Then i clicked pick operand B and deleted the cubes.
