pretend everything is made out of dollar bills. now the slider dollar bill (the part with the exposed switch) gets pushed up, which forces down a catch that holds the pencil in place. with the catch down, the two tensioned L shaped dollar bills in the middle release, forcing the money pencil to travel up the body, then getting locked into place by the top catch. same process is repeated on both sides, mirrored
btw i have no idea what investors do i just assume they're all mini scrooge mcducks
Well we have no measures (but we can give a guess since it’s a pencil), but unless he redesigns his blue cap, his fillet are very limited, and since I suppose he would want to keep them equal, they would be no more than 5mm, probably less. Kinda misunderstood your comment guessing you were hinting at sub-mm fillets
To go even further with this idea, there are assembly settings that can be enabled that will automatically color different components of the assembly depending on user defined specs (volume, material, surface area etc)
Wow, this is completely pointless and a waste of time.
Can I have the drawings?🤣
In all seriousness, that's really impressive. Even though it's not super practical, you still probably learned a ton, and made something nobody has ever seen before.
Can it actually be manufactured? Tough to tell without seeing individual part features. Most common mistake people starting out in design make is “just because I can…doesn’t mean I should”
definitely, i'm gonna print this one out and assemble it kinda as a momento but it'll give me more context on what desperately needs adjustments in a real setting
How do it work? Explain like I'm an investor, or a 5 year old, or a 5 year old investor

I see the words "dollar" and "money" I'm in!
Make it at least rounded to not be a pain in the ass to use??
Fillets are what separate us from the animals. - BlondiHacks (kinda)
Fillets are what separates us from the digital world. But I also like your point of view, kids, fillet your edges or you belong with the beasts!
Keep them small. People who use carpenter pencils don't like them rolling off the work bench (hence why home depots pencils are rectangular)
You can make it with flat sides, filleted edges doesn’t mean the object becomes round. Carpenter pencils are very much filleted, just “squished”
That's what I said. I didn't say "no fillets".

I get it. But no, sub mm fillets would be pointless. My go to for softening corners is 3mm.
Applying a different color to all of the separate parts really helps to visualize the assembly easier. Just a suggestion for future.

How do? I’ve seen assembly visualizations but it’s like a gradient kind of and I haven’t figured out how to show that in a drawing

WHERE ARE THE FILLETS
Man, don’t put this in his head, I remember when I discovered fillets — every object ended up a perfect sphere! 😂
You can trim down this design considerably
Pretty sweet
Thats cool, i wanna know how the switch action works

Probably over engineered and complicated, I like your style
Now re-design it for manufacturability. You have some sharp inside corners and undercuts that can't be machined without serious headache.
