Ghost Clip

<p><strong>Summary Section:</strong>&nbsp;</p><p>The ghost clip can be used for different tasks. It can be used to hold papers together, like a paperclip, or as a bookmark. Paper or pages can go in the mouth of the ghost and can be held together well. The ghost clip is a simple design that can be used efficiently. This design was created in collaboration with my partner Anna Baur.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Lesson Plan and Activity:</strong></p><p>The goal is to create a ghost clip in Solidworks. The ghost clip must be made with BOTH accuracy and collaboration.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Assembly/Construction Instructions:</strong>&nbsp;</p><ol><li>Draw a center box off of the origin</li><li>Dimension it to match the dimensions on the drawing</li><li>Add a construction line to contain the half circles on the top. Dimensions specified on drawing.&nbsp;</li><li>Add a construction line to contain the triangles on the bottom. Dimensions specified on drawing.&nbsp;</li><li>ONLY DRAW ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CENTER VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION LINE!!</li><li>Draw two half circles within the construction box at the top. Only draw them on the right side of the center construction line with the specified dimensions.&nbsp;</li><li>Mirror the half circles to the left side of the center construction line</li><li>Draw a triangle and a half within the construction box at the bottom. Only draw it on the right side of the center construction line with the specified dimensions.&nbsp;</li><li>Mirror the triangle and a half to the left side of the center construction line.&nbsp;</li><li>Draw a circle on the right side of the center construction line inside the construction box in the general area of where it is in the drawing.&nbsp;</li><li>Dimension the circle to have the specified diameter in the drawing.&nbsp;</li><li>Dimension the circle to be the specified distance from the top of the main construction box.</li><li>Dimension the circle to be the specified distance from the side of the construction box.&nbsp;</li><li>Mirror the circle to the left side of the center construction line</li><li>Make a horizontal construction line for where the arc starts on the top of the mouth. Dimensions are specified on the drawing</li><li>Make another construction line above the mouth where the arcs peak.&nbsp;</li><li>Start the mouth 1.3 cm from the bottom of the constraint box.&nbsp;</li><li>Draw a diagonal connecting the tip of the inner part of the smile to where the inner vertical edge of the smile will begin.</li><li>Then draw a vertical line from the inner point of the smile to the bottom of where the arc begins.</li><li>Smart dimension the inner connecting point between the vertical and diagonal line of the mouth to be the specified distance from the center construction line.&nbsp;</li><li>Offset the vertical inner part of the smile outwards the specified distance from the inner line.</li><li>Draw a diagonal line. Add manual relations to make the diagonal part of the smile parallel.&nbsp;</li><li>Draw a 3 point arc connecting the outside and inside edge of the smile at the top</li><li>Smart dimension the bottom most point of the smile to be the specified dimension from the very bottom point of the construction box.&nbsp;</li><li>Mirror the right side of the smile to the left side of the center construction line.</li><li>Add the sides of the ghost</li><li>Double check</li></ol><p><br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Design Choices:</strong></p><ul><li>My partner and I started off by sketching the ghost at a 2x scale.&nbsp;<ul><li><img class="image_resized" style="width:35.86%;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/3CeU8VkJ-3D6bTcECfACv1r_c_x-KKYcZU-wV7rmOQSGHkaaqiK1h10pbmdNvQ3n8bEm8kQW3YcVysNmArSlvTCKs0t3smqxXE6KZmVzjRSo1JJXT0zei0zl8G58XWwruPzmfj5CUY_HUCps4qRl4-BUFxS3q-ja31iLiM8qNrNR9mOt66u1ZA9r3Q"></li></ul></li><li>For the triangles at the bottom, instead of using 0.5cm as our measurement from the tip of the triangle to the edge, we ended up using 1 cm from the tip of one triangle to another.&nbsp;<ul><li><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/1L0SorbD0kOeKDTCJn9FQyjFbjg30Jnt88StR7F2-rZQMOPh0Uj7hb8pPDrFDDpZ8UrULAqvQrDPBfQVPIYzABxhJZBarkr00Ba2e_1nocqtKorMc9l4YWy5fJ4psaadK4BsPufc3cnbH_2UtpogKecadNHKtaalBjaBNCWSuitrUXSqtuuAVwrJdw"></li></ul></li><li>Instead of mirroring the entire sketch at the end, it would be more efficient and easier for Solid Works to only need to mirror small groups of things at a time which is why after each feature (triangles at the bottom, semi-circles at the top, eyes, and mouth) we mirrored them to the other side of the center line in the construction box.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li><li>For the inside of the mouth, we used 0.6 cm as the measurement from the center construction line to the inner line of the smile.&nbsp;<ul><li><img class="image_resized" style="width:36.81%;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/oXl2gCGy5jD7UYQ-dNYJXnpLqHNJujX21YViWVp8ECLjYkhffBsyHCIcMvONW3H0bBdjm40SUE1oPtwZmuN9J8M__Wx4ODV1NWNTAvwj9wEa-uPj-52icDQr0TEMV6tN4MgRoKomhkvSde27n9u7BSLn0ganvTsNt9XavHO94WFMhXJoVaO0XNh9Rg"></li></ul></li><li>We added a measurement of 1.3 which was not originally in the sketch from the bottom of the inner smile to the bottom of the constraint box.&nbsp;<ul><li><img class="image_resized" style="width:63.21%;" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/5Mvwz8scaRt4ogZ4WI7P0GXOaakkgv5hYjNOZTQ0Af_d_VMIUoXivw-ZmYgGk2AP589JYTFSqvvBy2GkheQjChkEIYKXxmCoEa-nwxHiI3-yPbYo38D5f5acjkWzDzIgxBmHxGzGBhOUfRtfYxrbh-PWju1hvgYEs0FEFDatxUbJ03lcL4nEtcN09g"></li></ul></li><li>In the sketch we had a separate measurement for the diameter of the eye and from the edge of the circle to the edge of the constraint box. My partner and I made the decision to combine both measurements to make the work space look less cluttered.&nbsp;<ul><li><img class="image_resized" style="width:23.19%;" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/cH_wUsJ8U7kL_v7Z5rzEOoWW_rR3__ykbUVdq1hXZXTkRVEX00EsNNMpD1zzsY_wBFXgySn96jtu0isZOWps-cdZvblMKdQoNZBEc4_UK0NytyId0wNQUrgzjUfoaFYu1Rx8LJqNGVAcB05hQo2i6uE-gH58FPaR0nanmFU9J8ahGcUu7Ft_Kqn24A"></li></ul></li><li>Something we planned to do but didn’t implement was putting a measurement of 0.8 cm in between the two eyes. Because both the eyes were 0.8 cm away from the edge of the constraint box, they were automatically 0.8 cm away from each other.&nbsp;</li><li>Another measurement we combined was the height of the semicircles and the height of the end of the circle to the top of the constraint box. We added 1.1 cm (the height of the end of the circle to the top of the constraint box) and 0.3 cm ( the height of the semicircles) to show the height of from the center of the circle to the top of the ghost.&nbsp;<ul><li><img class="image_resized" style="width:48.28%;" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/9eebtJOx1P1dParTP4MXhTp3lxg0H7Q7Ufx6OGOwS8JUkGl5j0WERaXRoYbha_r4FTeVk3NzViJWMDxgNTxyydN0-gRZQJ2POS7vAzdu1cA6_Su_HRA6jZ1burkIzwe-2F1vCnOZeygb4PqUJbQuwf5g-vv8QsxTZWb_cDSjvY7rO5HPCDw0K8XJ5A"></li></ul></li><li>We didn’t use 4.3 cm to measure the top of the mouth to the bottom of the construction box because it would have been automatically set with all the dimensions already set.&nbsp;</li><li>Instead of capping the ends of the smile, we used the two point arc tool to manually draw out the ends of the smile.&nbsp;<ul><li><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/gLjxjP1llDiM41nlzk6tP7Oo43nPONNgEe5SlSwNfglJ0v8nAUBkoS-lpKQlfPeMQf5uTWp8FXINU5oxGKFw-bfYN4X6fxbdrXyeA1DJDjh5i7mdzXeQlaXE_yKjGktXQ-yknceoVUq8_xbvC7YcXH0iOfIjB27ZyH45wwxdufcGV8dW1AixJaQBnw"></li></ul></li></ul>
