I kind of already had a good vision of how this project would go so I wanted to incorporate something new and challenging into it. I figured this is a good project to use a new software called OnShape that I’ve been eyeing.

I started by cutting the blade off of the hockey stick so I would be left with the 20 inch shaft. Then I modeled that in OnShape.

Now i can design a shelf that uses the shaft as a decoration. Since I couldn’t print a part that is the full 20″ length, i would have to make it in two halves.

I printed a test half because I had some orange filament I was trying to get rid of, and because I wanted to test if the pucks would be fun to stack into a triangle.
I had just enough matt black material to make both halves, but of course, like a moron, i made 2 of the same halves. Now I had to order more
My idea for connecting the two halves together was to print a slot in the parts, and use a piece of aluminum bar as a backbone.
I had so many test parts by the end. Its fun to break them open and see where they could be better instead of just throwing them away.
They fit together beautifully, and it is very strong and rigid.
Here’s how it looks without any pucks

I included the right screws and parts needed to hang it up as well
I even made some instructions too to really practice and learn the new software.
I really liked Onshape. It feels like a very refined solidworks. Things seem to move smoother and workflow just feels snappier. I am happily using Onshape more and more. It feels like it has the power and precision of SW if you need it, but also allowes you to more freely screw around and use tools in different ways.
