Lego Man


Hey, this is the 8th update on my SolidWorks blog

This week was the mid semester intensive and the start of the Lego man assignment.

I stared on the head, as it looked the easiest and would give me a little bit of practice using the Vernier Calipers (as I have not used them before).
I started off with extruding the main part of the head before extruding and cutting the top and bottom. To make the head a smooth curve I added fillets (the radius was estimated as it was hard to measure)




I then moved onto the left leg. Getting the basic shape and cutting out the hollow in the bottom was easy. I then ran into problems when I was cutting out the circles in the back of the leg. The top one would not cut out the way I expected/wanted it to. After rechecking the height on the leg and slightly adjusting it, the cut finally turned out the way it should look.






Till next time,
Deanna (design student)
