Innovate this...if you are bored

Here is something to do while you watch your stock values

Make a part that can hold three objects, it should have a constant wall thickness of 2mm:

Object one:

An Isosceles triangle pyramid with four sides

each edge being 100mm

Object two:

A sphere with a diameter of 85mm

Object three:

A parallelogram with the two side faces having 100mm long by 75mm high with angle of 65 degrees, all the rest to fit the lines, 75mm wide

Hint: Imagine a child's toy that they have to place each object in the correct opening

Bonus Challenge: Make the part flexible enough so that any of the three parts can go in any of the three positions

extra bonus: make the part allow the user to ask which position the objects should be in and adapt the model to suit (pro-program?)

cheers,

M
