Part tolerance too loose #84

Open Leapo opened 2 years ago

Leapo commented 2 years ago

The couplers on Prototype 4 RigidMount_leftHand and RigidMount_rightHand appear to be too small to appropriately interface with any of the models that are meant to slide on and snap into place.

See photo for example: https://imgur.com/a/Xu4R0Nq

You can see the issue in the part files, as well: https://imgur.com/a/ijAL6ZP

The fit is so loose between parts that the attached part never snap-fits into place, can slide/rotate a large amount, and will simply fall off of the RigidMount if turned sideways.

I have this issue with the spool enclosure, hot glue solved

however I have way too tight of tolerances on the slides for the modules attaching to the glove.

slide modules:

I wonder if a metric sized screw and nut would be much easier and simple to mount the part with even with the additional weight. this is still a modular setup.

thermal welding would also be much easier however aligning would require a hole and peg to align then weld to item. you loose modularity here sadly.
