Pin and slider, connected to a revolute joint

Hi all, 

 

I am currently trying to create a folding bracket (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B098Q5PDZS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1).

However I cannot get both of the joints to work simultaneously. I can get both a pin and slider, and a planer/tangent relationship join to work on the sliding part of the mechanism. And can get the revolute joint to work on the base piece. Just not together! 

 

Can anyone please share any tips or solutions on how to do so?

Many thanks, Euan

You have your brace rod hitting your fixed mount.  Move the brace out until it is flush with the surface and then use a Cylindrical Joint to reduce the risk of misalignment.  I am returning your model as an F3Z file, be cautious where you upload it to.
