Create a grip with grooves for fingers

moshe_bartov

Hi,

  I've created a design of a grip (to be attached to my iPhone case and allow me to use it as a camera) and I would like to add grooves to the far end of the grip to provide a better ergonomic fit for my fingers - see image

  The design is public and open

  You advise will be much apprecitated!

@cody_armstrong Have you got a link to your squeegee video?  The loft method you demo'd could be good here.

Cheers, Owen S.

@moshe_bartov Here is an example of a handle I made.  This is using a solid loft with guides to drive the profile.

Here is the method I would use, a loft with guide curves.,.,. https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b0ff562225eb877b97ab61a5/w/7d67de1ccf21b5f71925b94f/e/4c4ca01e0f38676ee89641dc

One trick, especially for organic shapes, do it with surfaces. Focus on one patch at a time. 

It's actually easier to build each patch getting it right vs. working with a solid and contending with all the faces that a solid creates. 

In the end, with a water tight manifold, you can just "enclosure" your volume. 

Remember, there are no solids, just surfaces. Dropping down and using the primitives opens a whole new world when designing cool shapes.
