Carabiner Pen Project: The Clip

This video tutorial guides viewers through the process of modeling a carabiner clip using Onshape. It begins with setting up the project and using existing sketches to model parts. The tutorial then covers creating new sketches, applying constraints, and dimensioning. It proceeds to final adjustments, merging parts, and assembling the model. The video concludes with tips on experimenting with design constraints and encourages viewers to create a replacement model.

What is the primary goal when accessing the Onshape document for this project?

• To export the document

• To create a new part studio

• To delete existing sketches

• To model a unique shape connector

When extruding Sketch 6, which option should be selected instead of 'blind'?

• Parallel

• Symmetric

• Offset

• Tapered

What is the purpose of creating a new sketch on the front face?

• To remove unnecessary parts

• To change the color of the model

• To connect to the pin for opening and shutting

• To add a decorative element

What constraint is used to ensure the ends of the lines touch the curve in the new sketch?

• Parallel constraint

• Perpendicular constraint

• Coincident constraint

• Tangent constraint

Why is the dimension 0.106 used during extrusion?

• To make the part larger

• To match the color of the model

• To provide equal spacing and avoid collisions

• To ensure the part is visible

What is the purpose of merging features in the model?

• To simplify the design

• To reduce the file size

• To apply a hole through both shapes

• To change the material

What tool is used to match the profile of the carabiner clip?

• Offset tool

• Fillet tool

• Extrude tool

• Chamfer tool

What is the purpose of setting a revolute mate in the assembly?

• To duplicate the part

• To allow rotational movement

• To change the part's color

• To fix the part in place

Why is an offset applied during the revolute mate setup?

• To add a new feature

• To increase the part's size

• To center the part and prevent touching

• To change the part's orientation

What is the final step in the 3D modeling process for the clip?

• Exporting the model

• Creating a replacement model

• Deleting unused sketches

• Applying a texture
