The prompt
Using the current CAD model as the starting point, redesign the universal connector into a production-ready injection-molded part. Requirements: - The connector must accept four removable plastic wall panels simultaneously (one on each side). - Each panel must slide into molded guide rails inside the connector. - Include alignment stops so every panel seats at the correct depth. - Add an internal clamping mechanism activated by a large thumb screw. - When the thumb screw is tightened, it must press a clamping plate against the panel, eliminating movement and rattling. - When loosened, the panel must slide freely for adjustment or removal. - Add structural ribs to maximize strength while minimizing plastic usage. - Use uniform wall thickness (2–3 mm), 2° draft angles, generous fillets, and avoid undercuts for injection molding. - Design the connector to withstand repeated assembly and disassembly without cracking. - Ensure one connector design can function as a corner, T-junction, cross-junction, or edge connection using the same geometry. Generate: - Isometric view - Section (cutaway) view showing the internal locking mechanism - Exploded view with connector, thumb screw, clamping plate, and wall panels - Dimensioned engineering drawing - Cross-sectional view of one panel sliding into the connector - STEP, STL, and manufacturing drawings
