![final.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FJZ/PB5I/K9G9J37X/FJZPB5IK9G9J37X.png&filename=final.PNG)
This is a final Tad class instructable about making a wheel.
For my part, I am focussing on making individual parts. You will find another instructable on how to assemble these parts on the instructable website.
we will go through making individual parts.
Supplies
A fully functional laptop with an updated Autodesk inventor (2019 and above)
previous knowledge in inventor might be needed or with common sense, you can follow along.
Base Plate Sketch 1
![1.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FBI/01GV/K9G9J3AW/FBI01GVK9G9J3AW.png&filename=1.PNG)
Draw the sketch as shown in the picture.
Note: make it symmetric on the y-axis
Excluding Base Feature
![12.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FA3/4OTF/K9G9J464/FA34OTFK9G9J464.png&filename=12.PNG)
this a follow up the step from step 1
choose the exclusion command
choose the symmetric option of 78 mm
Holes on the Base Plate
![2.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FFG/5BWV/K9G9J417/FFG5BWVK9G9J417.png&filename=2.PNG)
Draw four holes as shown below using the circle option and use these dimensions to contain it as shown above.
Note: make the circles symmetric on the two axis
Excluding Step 3
![4.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F46/C42B/K9G9J5P6/F46C42BK9G9J5P6.png&filename=4.PNG)
select the exclusion command and choose the cut feature
select cut through all
Baseplate Fillets
![5.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FXJ/06NV/K9G9J69O/FXJ06NVK9G9J69O.png&filename=5.PNG)
Select the fillet command and select four corners as shown in the image
Part 2(Wheel)
![6.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F6S/EJN1/K9G9J6GJ/F6SEJN1K9G9J6GJ.png&filename=6.PNG)
the first sketch of the wheel.
make the following diagram.
using linear diameter on this part. and use construction lines
apply constraints as shown in the image
Wheel Extrusion
![7.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FR1/GM8H/K9G9J6OH/FR1GM8HK9G9J6OH.png&filename=7.PNG)
For this, we are to select the revolution command
choose the angle to be 360 not 270 as shown
Fillets Around the Wheel
![8.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FNX/8NZG/K9G9J6SP/FNX8NZGK9G9J6SP.png&filename=8.PNG)
Choose the fillet command and select the edges as shown.
radius =3 mm
and don't forget the bottom.
Part 3 (Bracket)
![9.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FP2/GADD/K9G9J7BL/FP2GADDK9G9J7BL.png&filename=9.PNG)
The most challenging out of the four parts.
I will take 9 steps to do all the features.
starting with this
draw the first sketch and constraint it as in the image
Excluding the Sketch From 9
![10.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FL7/HFLB/K9G9J7GD/FL7HFLBK9G9J7GD.png&filename=10.PNG)
select the exclusion command
do as in the image.
12 mm depth
it should be toward the back( vital for next features)
Incline Feature
![11e.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FC0/H0T3/K9G9J7NY/FC0H0T3K9G9J7NY.png&filename=11e.PNG)
select the sketch command and choose the y-z plane as shown.
it should be from base to top( the hanging cylinder).
Excluding the Inclined Feature
![12e.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FAP/3YI1/K9G9J7VV/FAP3YI1K9G9J7VV.png&filename=12e.PNG)
select the exclusion command
and exclude symmetric as shown
the Main Body
![13e.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FMN/40P6/K9G9JADS/FMN40P6K9G9JADS.png&filename=13e.PNG)
rotate the diagram and draw a sketch on the back of the incline.
only use the dimension given
to make the drawing symmetric use the tangent constraints.
Exclude Connecting Sketch
![14e.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/F8W/KTQQ/K9G9JAX9/F8WKTQQK9G9JAX9.png&filename=14e.PNG)
exclude 10 mm as shown
the Base of the Bracket
![15e.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FM2/696C/K9G9JBNX/FM2696CK9G9JBNX.png&filename=15e.PNG)
on the feature from 14, draw the sketch in the image
Excluding the Base
![16.PNG](/proxy/?url=https://content.instructables.com/FHX/ZVHT/K9G9JBSK/FHXZVHTK9G9JBSK.png&filename=16.PNG)
