Jeep 3D-Printing Challenge
When making the jeep model, we did a few parts as a group, a few parts with instructions and then the rest we did on our own. The front hood was one that we did as a group and the wheel was one that we had instructions for. For the rest, I took measurements and made sketches before creating the parts in Solidworks. The first part I made was the grill and I was able to use measurements off of the hood for the top of it. This made sure that it would fit in the hood and on the back support for the grill. After that was the steering cross arm which was a fairly easy part. After that I made the windshield that also had measurements taken from the hood. The last part I made was the chassis which was considered a hard part. There were just a lot of measurements to take. Click through the photos for more information.

this part was one of the easier parts to create
This was one of the required parts, but in creating this part, we used a circular pattern to make the cuts and circles in the wheel.

This was one of the harder parts because of all the measurements that had to be taken to get the part right.
When making the windshield and grill, I just put them in the same part as the hood so that I could see what it would look like when it comes together, but also to make sure that the measurements were right in places where the parts come together
