How would you model this bracket?

Anonymous

Hello,

sadly, the headset brackets from my logitech g430 broke and I need to replace them. Luckily, I have a 3D printer, but sadly not alot of skills in fusion360. I used 123Design before and Im now using fusion 360 since two weeks. The bracket looks like that: DSCN0124-min.JPGDSCN0125-min.JPGDSCN0126-min.JPGDSCN0127-min.JPGDSCN0128-min.JPGDSCN0129-min.JPG

 

 

I managed to design this in 2 hours:

But... Im not really satisfied with the look of it, the wall of it is not consistent and Im not able to model every detail with my knowledge. Also, I can't get the drop from the right to the left into the wall. I also can't put holes into the walls, because they are curved now.

 

Any suggestions how I could do this better?

 

Thanks alot

 

Best wishes

 

Sami

Start with a solid block of material, that looks right from all directions, extrudes, loft, or split body, etc.

 

Add external fillets, when that far shell the solid for the wall thickness,

 

add the smaller items items like the bolt boss, hole, thread from a sketch on the centre line plane, extending to the inside wall

 

top and bottom holes are extruded, 

 

Attach a file with sketches of all the necessary dimensions.

 

Might help...

I tried to google "logitech g430 3d model", and found this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1478735.   It looked pretty similar as what you posted.  Hope it may help.
