Here you will learn how to create the leveling assembly shown above with 4 parts and 1 assembly

Step 1: Base Plate Sketch

First Part! The Sketch for the base plate can be made through rectangles or lines to the dimensions given in the photo above. The curves on both the inside and outside can be made by using the fillet tool in the sketch mode.

Step 2: Base Plate Sketch Extrusion

Use the Extrusion tool to extrude the sketch by 75 mm.

Step 3: Base Plate Hole Sketch

Create a sketch of a circle as shown above.

Step 4: Base Plate Hole Extrusion

Extrude the hole sketch all the way through

Step 5: Base Plate Third Sketch

Create a sketch of a circle and 2 lines as shown above.

Step 6: Base Plate Third Sketch Extrusion

Extrude the hole sketch through the first section

Step 7: Lifting Block Sketch

New Part! Make a rectangle based on the dimensions shown above

Step 8: Lifting Block Extrusion

Extrude the Sketch 100 mm

Step 9: Lifting Block Sketch 2

Make a sketch on the side of the previous extrusion with the dimensions shown above

Step 10: Lifting Block Sketch 2 Extrusion

Extrude the sketch all the way through

Step 11: Lifting Block Fillets

Add fillets to all areas (3mm radius)

Step 12: Lifting Block Circle Sketch

On the top add a sketch of a circle with these dimensions

Step 13: Lifting Block Circle Sketch Extrusion

Extrude the circle sketch 5mm

Step 14: Lifting Block Fillet

Add a fillet onto the previous sketch (Radius of 3mm)

Step 15: Lifting Block Circle Sketch 2

Add another sketch of a circle with the dimensions above in the center of the other circle

Step 16: Lifting Block Circle 2 Extrusion

Extrude that circle sketch all the way through

Step 17: Adjusting Screw Sketch

New Part! Create a sketch like the one above with an overall length of 72mm

Step 18: Adjusting Screw Revolve

Revolve the previous sketch!

Step 19: Adjusting Screw Hexagon Sketch

Make the sketch shown above

Step 20: Adjusting Screw Extrusion

Extrude the previous hexagon sketch 9 mm

Step 21: Adjusting Screw Chamfer

Create a chamfer of 1 mm

Step 22: Adjusting Screw Thread

Add a thread to the end of the screw

Step 23: Sliding Block Sketch

New Part! Create the sketch as it is shown above

Step 24: Sliding Block Sketch Extrusion

Extrude the first sketch 100 mm

Step 25: Sliding Block Sliding Block

On the side of the last extrusion recreate the sketch shown above

Step 26: Sliding Block Second Sketch Extrusion

Extrude the Second Sketch all the way through

Step 27: Sliding Block Third Sketch

On the top create the sketch shown above

Step 28: Sliding Block Third Sketch Extrusion

Extrude the Third Sketch all the way through

Step 29: Sliding Block Hole Sketch

Create a sketch of a hole in the center of the back of the part

Step 30: Sliding Block Hole Extrusion

Extrude the hole sketch all the way through

Step 31: Sliding Block Fillets

Add 3mm radius fillets to the areas shown

Step 32: Assembly: Screw to Base Plate

Assembly Time! Constrain the Screw to the base plate with the areas of constraint shown

Step 33: Assembly: Sliding Block to Base Plate

Constrain the sliding block to the base plate with the areas of constraint shown

Step 34: Assembly: Lifting Block to Base Plate

Constrain the lifting block to the base plate with the areas of constraint shown

Step 35: Final Assembly Complete!

Good Job!
