I'm designing a watch case and caseback (cover) which has an o-ring in-between. I was wondering if nx has the ability to show an o-ring in it's natural state when the components are unassembled/unmated and compressed/deformed when it's assembled/mated?
Hello, everyone. My background is in injection molding and not machining so please pardon in advance what may be a dumb question.
I am in the process of designing a watch case for myself. I would like to have a cover (caseback) with male threads that screws into the watch case female threads. My question is what is the minimum depth of the pilot hole (is this the correct term?) so that the caseback can go in at 1.5-2.5 complete revolutions and have a tight fit? The hole will have a smaller shoulder so the tap will eventually bottom out. From what I can see in online images of m8x1.5 taps, they all see to be tapered quite a bit and I'm thinking that the tap will bottom out before it even has a chance to start cutting the thread. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TY.
