Week 7 Challenge

Aim: To add sliders to the core and cavity created for the given model.

Sliders:

To create the sliders, the profile is first used to split the body and cut short to a required length enough to fit the finger cam pin to fit. The back of the slider should have a tappering figure of 30 degree to fit easily into the cavity block. Once the slider is made, appropiate changes need to be made into the core and cavity block.

The empty space created due to splitting of the body in the cavity block needs to be filled such that there is only space for the slider to slide in from the bottom. Similarly, in the core there needs to be empty space to guide the slider infrom sideways. Fillets are provided on the slider and cavity block to smooth attachment.

Therefore, guide rails are added to the core block and extra material is cut from the slider and washers and bolts are added. The holes for the bollts are added in the core block and clearance is added to the cavity block to accomodate the blot heads.

Lastly, for locking mechanism, exturded cuts are made as required for in the core block and the sliders.
