The great CAD lockin

I submitted my other project, and their were a few messups when submitting this project instead of that one, sorry review team:). My computer is really bad, but onshape is terrible, so I use fusion online, and might be the only person that does. Fusion Online kind of sucks though, and I have lost all my progress more times than I like to admit. Like on tis project. All of my CAD files were lost, and I really wanted to give up.

But I didn't!. I spent the last hour and half re making it, and making it better. I learned how to use fasteners to create an accurate conection that fusion considers a real joint, and used sweeps for the first time. Anyways, got to keep locking in for Prototype. See you there!

Made the BOM

Because I started with the CAD first I now had to source my parts. I knew that I needed a standard light socket, and found the cheapest one on Amazon. The hard part was finding a cable, but I found a furniture grade one for only 12 dollars. For the hardware I will just buy the bolts and nuts from my local hardware store with my own money

Fleshed out the CAD

I did this project kind of backwards, where once I had the idea I built it in CAD before sourcing my parts and making my BOM. It might not have been the best to make all the ridges with lofts and patterns, but I got it done.
