Custom bottle

meow! since the instruction was to create ur own custom bottle i took this chance to do a cat shape bottle. What is life without cats? I used loft to create the bottle, just like the dettol pump bottle. but solidworks said guide 1 and section 1 is not intersected or something like that and it couldnt loft. Went to check my drawings (stared at it for 5 mins) until i realise this and fixed it. At first i did the body and ears then i couldnt shell (minimum curvature radius too small) so i roll back to shell the body and leave the ears as solid bodies. Also i realised the reflections on the body looks weird after i mirror the part. Seems like the curve is not connected (the zebra lines are so off) After editting the loft sketches for multiple times i gave up. Im happy with the end results (also no time to keep fixing it)

Other parts

With all the other projects going on I couldnt bother about a lot of details that I normally would, and some of the part sketches are under defined because I thought I will have time to go edit those in the general assembly. Some problems I encounter: 1. too small to see & measure couldnt see what shape it is and couldnt bother to count the numbers... also a lot parts have inner structures not visible from the outside which makes modelling it super frustrating. Life's a lot easier when Katie uploaded drawings with section views (THANKS!) 2. Wrong sub assemblies. made a plunger inner sub assembly and a outer sub assembly just for the plunger assembly because I thought it was just purely to make things stick to each other and I thought that would be more organised. Later realised that the assembly should be put together like how it would assemble together in real life. I quickly redo everything (you remember each single mate when u struggle for 5 ...
