Plastic part design guides?
Plastic part design guides?
(OP)
I've been searching around trying to find some references for some standard design elements. Plastic hinges, latches and interlocks designs are the main things I'm looking for, but in general, i'm looking for an overall guide. I'm trying to choose the best design for a product I'm working on. I think I have a good design, but am left wondering if there are some tried and true elements out there that may work better.
I'm interested in websites, books, or any material that can help.
Thanks
