goclones Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm considering having a jig mold made and have been playing around with a design program. I started with FreeCAD and found it to be not very intuitive for a newbie. Ended up creating what I want in Microsoft 3D Builder (basic, I know). Question on tolerance around hooks. I want to use a 2/O Mustad 32796BLN. Barlow's shows the diameter at 0.051", or 1.2954 mm. I currently have the hook slot where it is needed at 1.5 mm at the widest point. Too big? Same question for a weed guard pin. Anybody have a model for that hook? Not sure I have the hook eye in the right spot. I'm trying to be an engineer and that is so not my background haha.

Kasilofchrisn Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Whenever I've had a custom mold made I just gave the mold maker a good idea of what I wanted and he did all of the cad work for me. They usually have all that stuff figured out pretty well and are a lot better at it than I ever would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
