V4 Lid Redesign #216

Closed eaudiffred closed 1 year ago

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

The lid design needs to be redesigned to eliminate the tab and make it easier to take on/off.

Adding some info @muditprotect3d shared in discord: image

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

@muditprotect3d I used that idea and applied it to the frog sensor lid. I think it works great! Awesome idea!

The test print turned out great!

Oh that's really interesting! Seems like it could be a more robust design to tolerance differences in different printers / filemint brands, etc

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

After a few test prints I'm pretty happy with the results! Here are the STL files if anyone wants to try it out.
Base_Lid_V4.zip

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Cool. I'll do a test print here.

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

@keenanjohnson, how did it turn out? What are your thoughts?

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

I really like the concept and it slides on really well!

I think we might need to add a feature to stop the sliding in one direction though, so it's easy to just slide on the lid until you hit the feature.

My lid slides around all over the place haha. https://github.com/Ribbit-Network/ribbit-network-frog-hardware/assets/2559382/8b23278f-0735-402e-ab14-482474135e9c

Looks like differences in printer tolerances again. The few I've printed aren't so free floating. Thanks for printing a set. I'll think about how we can incorporate a stop. Maybe just stopping the tracks on the base.

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Ah I see. That's the benefit of collaboration between us :)

A small change, but I think it will be effective in limiting the slide through.

Looks perfect to me! Like you said, I don't think much is needed there.

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

Base_Lid_V4.zip Here are the file if you have time to run a test today. I'm going to start one now.

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Will start a test now!

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Looks much better to me now.

Lid locates well.

eaudiffred commented 1 year ago

@keenanjohnson, that video shows the lid still being able to slide freely off of both sides. Is that the previous version?
I was hoping that the little notch and step would create a point at which the lid could no longer slide to the left.

keenanjohnson commented 1 year ago

Oh whoops. I guess I didn't take a new video. Anyway, it works great as you would expect.
