The last piece of the rocket to create was the nosecone. This section of the tutorial went very smoothly and I had no problems. The link to the tutorial and the finalized nosecone is shown below:
Tutorial: http://www.stageoneeducation.com/cad-tutorial/nosecone1.html The next step to creating the Onshape rocket was adding the fins and boosters to the middle body. This part of the tutorial was a little longer than the previous middle body section. Overall the steps were easy to follow and I successfully connected the fins and boosters with only one mishap. After making the launch pad connector I followed the directions to fillet the top and sides of the opening, the top worked fine but when it came to putting a fillet on the sides that section read error. I continued to redo that portion but it didn't work until I came to class and received help from my teacher. The rest of the fins and booster tutorial was completed without problem. The fins and booster connected to the middle body is shown below:
Onshape Rocket Tutorial: http://www.stageoneeducation.com/cad-tutorial/lower-body1.html We are creating a rocket with the 3D printer using Onshape. The first step is creating the fuselage: the middle body of the rocket. Following the tutorial was not easy at times and when I messed up I would go back and redo the directions from a certain point. On the other hand, the gifs in the tutorial were very helpful; allowing me to see how the model is supposed to look like. My two main problems were making the extrudes and putting the fuselage on section view. To fix the extrudes I went back a few steps and followed the directions closely, and the problem was fixed. I must have had the wrong part selected because at first the extrude turned red (meaning it wasn't working). For the section view, the selection made the right panel of my screen black and orange. It was hard for me to see the sliced middle body, unlike the gif shown, because it impaired my view. I left the weird black panel alone and finished the directions that required section view, it was hard but manageable. Below is a screenshot of the rocket's middle body and a link to the tutorial:
