I’ve been modeling a cornet for my final project, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Musicians of Oppo, can you name the part pictured above? (Almost finished)

its thing you slide to do things

I believe the proper engineering term for it is “that bendy tuby thing with an adapter plug coming out of the bottom”.

Valve slide? I dunno, I was a drummer.

How did you manage so many operations for that one part? *mind blown* Or are there internal things happening? But then why aren’t they separate pieces? And why is there only a hole on one tab, not both? And why isnt that a 5 piece assembly? Ahhhhh!

All I see is a form of potato cannon.

Kinja'd!!!

That’d be a tuning slide.

YES.

Which valve though?

Pretty much.

Not a potato cannon.

It’s all one piece.

3rd slide valve. It helps that you left the tree open so that we can see you named the part valve3-slide.sldprt ;)

Damn, well yes.

No.

Valve number one, or the one closest to you.

(I played various brass instruments for 5 years in highschool)

Wrong. 3.

Putting the hole on one tab is actually pretty easy - you just click on the tab surface to make a sketch plane, sketch a circle on the tab, make an extruded cut and tell it “up to next” and SolidWorks just cuts to the next surface.

But yeah there is a lot going on here for a single part. Maybe class requirements to demonstrate a bunch of operations that were taught?

Was the swept cut a class requirement? It seems like it would have been easier to just sketch a ring and do a swept extrusion of that. Or is there something internal to the part that I'm missing?

crap. I was thinking about a trumpet.

I know you’re a student, so I wasn’t trying to be a dick btw. But given that list of steps it could be a lot simpler.

Good luck on the project. If you hit a roadblock, I’m sure I’m one of many SW users around here that can help.

Show us the final assembly when it’s done. Looking at the cornet in your other post it should be pretty damn impressive! Way more ambitious than anything I've done with SolidWorks.

TheHondaBro > Gone

Probably.

I would have thought the actual real world part would have been symmetrical. I was trying to figure out why his design wasn’t. But good point about operations potentially being required/demonstrated in order to pass the class.

I have more combined hours in AutoCAD, IDEAS, UG/NX, ProE, SolidEdge, and SW than I care to count. ProE is the best and I’ll fight anyone that disagrees.

Makes sense - misunderstood what you were asking sorry.

I learned solid modeling on Pro/E back in 2004. I remember hating it so much at the start but defending it in the end for all of the things I hated at the start. I lived in Europe in 2005 and had to learn CATIA and couldn’t stand it compared to Pro/E.

We mostly use SW where I work now, so I’ve learned to live with it and it’s basically all I’ve used for 8 years or so now. Didn’t Pro/E become Creo a few years back? We have a couple Creo licenses around and they seem to use the same versioned file extensions as Pro/E did back in the day. All I ever do with it is open models from our customers and either make measurements or export the parts as IGES files to open in other software.

No biggie, adter re-reading it, the comment didn’t come across well at all via the internet.

I keep forgeting it’s Creo now. We kept calling it ProE after the tranition. Impressive, that’s a lot of time on one platform. I hopped around and ended up getting seat time with everything but CATIA. I’ve heard mixed reviews with it.
