Express/Long-Haul Stay Tubes

In this exorcise I'll be posting images with bits of information. It'll be up to you to make sense of it. You'll be tasked with figuring out how everything goes together, and how to work within a 3D Sketch. That's right, 3D Sketch. It is possible to make this part using a series of different extrudes and angles, but you'll be doing it all as one Swept  feature.

Easy. 3D sketching, not so much. Start a new 3D sketch, it doesn't matter if you pick a plane or not. Draw out your path, making sure to utilize reference geometry.

Refer to the images as needed.






Don't worry if you can't finish, or are too confused. We'll be going over it in class later, and I'll answer any questions and point out useful tips. We'll need this to complete our Express assembly.

It would also be a good idea to get one from the shop to look at.
