this took me down a deep rabbit hole of researching the mechanical properties of PETG - just so i can design some snap fit joint for a simple box i made. that brochure is amazing.
Here's the document displayed in the video: fab.cba.mit.edu/classes/S62.12/people/vernelle.noel/Plastic_Snap_fit_design.pdf He should have put this link in the description.
Hello. I have an electric charcoal lighter from the 1980s that I'm trying to take apart. I was able to remove the 2 metal screws with no issues. However, the plastic cover won't come off. I was able to slip through the seam with a flat screwdriver, but gently prying it won't pop the lid open. And I don't want to damage it with excessive force. I'm thinking that theres some snap fit joints involved, but I'm not 100% sure. Is there a tool you could recommend for releasing the snap joints regardless if they're permanent or not? Without damaging or breaking anything of course. Thanks
@@fakesupremebag Hey there. After numerous attempts at gently prying and lifting, the lid just wouldn't come off. So I figured out there was an area inside the handle where there were some stubborn snaps. Luckily I I could slip a flathead screwdriver through the narrow opening where the power cord is attached. Since the snaps were located in an obscure area, i decided to apply force in that area with the screwdriver to break the snaps. Once i did that, it popped right open. I just wish I figured it out sooner and not caused hairline cracks on the lid due to fiddling around that whole time.

Just to note: These are mostly applicable to plastic injection you need to consider a lot more cases when building for 3D prints because of layer building hierarchy.
additive 3D printing is only good for hobby, it is unsuitable for production. So yeah, industrial design is all about injection, what would be the point of "building for 3D print (whatever it means)" when you work on actual consumer / industrial products? In these cases production efficiency, quality of the part, precision and surface finish are the actual concerns, nothing additive 3D printing can achieve.

How is you looking at a document a TH-cam video?
Useless video

In the same spot as you my friend let me know if you figured it out

I am watching it .. 2 years after you have posted , so please do use the mouse :).
Back to work! 😜 Thank you for sharing!😁
This would have benefited from some enthusiasm.
can I get this PPT notes please
i found it tyvm
@@sam90o48 hey where did you find it?

Explaining how snap fit joints work with animation might be clearer.
can you help me sending a pdf about " snap joint connections of frp structures" ?
👍
Thank you!
What they made off ?
Hola, como se llama el libro? de donde lo puedo bajar o comprar..? gracias

@@dr.n3246 Search for plastic injection and compare with 3d print. You will notice plastic injection is more sturdy.

do you have a link to the pdf? thanks for sharing this video
if you look up "plastic snap fit design fasteners.pdf" the first result is an MIT page that has the pdf!
