Technical Drawings

I completed the technical drawings without too many problems.
Probably the only issue I had was with dimensioning the lid part. I was trying to fully dimension the inside parts like the valve and the drawing was getting too busy. I was also unsure about using datum, because these parts would be made individually then assembled, not made as a single part.
I ended up just putting in some salient dimensions for the inside mechanism, and dimensioning the outside as well as I could.

The lid/pump action mechanism part drawing

I created an exploded view of the lid part just to show how it all goes together.


I finished with  an assembly drawing with a bill of materials for the bottle.
I found these drawings quite easy and finished them within a few hours.
