How to design a lid for the mug above on solidwork so it would perfectly fit when assembles together. Please show the steps on how to design and measurements.

Answer 1

The main measurement we need to check is that the outer diameter of the lid should be same as the inner diameter of the mug.

Here the outer diameter of the mug is 3.50 and thickness is 0.09. So,it's inner diameter is 3.41

Now we will make a lid that is having Outer diameter 3.41.

The following drawing may clear what I'm talking about:

03.50 0.09 R1.75 0.50 ,15 d=3.41 03.50 Thickness cambe Anything R1.1 xI yI co.uz 0.15 (0.5) R2.15 ЭС ocky 4.00 R4.50 1.76 take as 0.4 Assuming Y=0.5

Steps for solidworks:

First we will draw the profile of the lid and make it revolve 360.

So, step-1 will be file > New > Part.

Then press on sketch as shown below, and select front plane

Then draw the profile as below:

O.15 0.40 1.71

Then using offset command inner offset of 0.1 and draw lines to close sketch:

1.71 0.10= I _0.15 0.40

Now exit the sketch and press on Revolve Boss/Base. It will take the axis of revolution and profile automatically, if not then select both manually. and press ok

Your LID is ready now.
