I made this frisbee clip

I'm a huge Ultimate Frisbee fan. If any of you has ever played you'll know how dirty you can get after a game, and so does the disc. To not have to put a dirty disc inside my bag I made a clip that allows you to attach a disc to the outside of your bag. As a first year engineering student I didn't have a whole lot of experience with CAD, regardless I just gave it a try anyway. The program I used was Solidworks. It's the one they teach us how to use but you could also use Fusion 360 (which is free).

First I designed the "cross-section" then extruded it.

Then I rendered it and tried to imagine how it'd look like irl. (emphasis on 'tried' as I had no dimensions the disc but the height, I had to estimate a lot and expected to have to improve the model a few times)

I don't personally own a 3D printer so I went to 3dhubs to find someone to print it for me.

Looking to buy a 3D printer at some point, open for suggestions.

In the end I was pretty happy with the result. Perfect fit the first time, so glad I didn't have to go back to change the model and reprint it.

The print was made of PLA, not sure whether that's the best material but the dude I contracted assured me it was just fine.

I had tons of fun making this and gained a lot of experience. I'm this won't be the last project.

 

PS: Please make a CAD/ 3D printing Forum, surely other people will also like sharing their experiences :)

Nice, glad you took my suggestion in posting 3D printing and CAD stuff in the "hobby" section (I think anyway, I might be being selfish ;)).

Anyways, cool idea. I would upload it to some site where you can share ideas (I don't know much about this stuff).

Quote me to see my reply!

Great job OP! I'd definitely look into a printer if you are able to design stuff like this. Around how long did it take you to design?

Not long! I was super motivated so it only took me a morning to design. I ordered the print in the afternoon and was able to pick up at the end of the next day :)

A lot of the things in this sub forum are more maker-ey, I think it should be renamed as such. 

 

Great work, OP.
