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.
