Designing Your First Functional 3D Printed Parts | Basic Fusion 360 3D Printing

It is time to take your 3D printing to the next level and create your own designs. The steps are simple, and the process is easier than you are expecting. I am using the free version of Fusion 360 for modeling.
My 3D printer: amzn.to/3vBwuoE
My Digital Calipers: amzn.to/3B7ngSb
There are 4 basic steps of creating your own prints.
First you need to think of what you want to make. This may sound basic, but it is a very important step. I am starting with some functional designs that will help around the house. I wouldn't start too advanced for your first design. That way you won't get discouraged.
Second it sketching and measuring. Digital Calipers are cheap and make this step really easy. Also, don't over think your sketch. These don't have to be pretty, just so you can understand what you wanted to create.
Third is 3d modeling of your sketches. I am using Fusion 360, because it is really powerful and makes basic designs easily once you get a hang of it. I would recommend skipping TinkerCAD because even a design as simple as this would have been so much harder in TinkerCAD, but took 5 minutes in Fusion 360.
The Fourth Step is printing, and I would recommend printing at a prototype quality. That means weaker and faster than you normally would, because your first design might not work.

Just a tip, when you're printing your first prototype, reduce the extrude significantly so that it's quicker to print and utilizes far less filament.

[@eliotmansfield]

back end of your calipers have a rod that comes out for making depth measurements

Fusion is expensive as hell. Don’t even know why you recommended thid

[@arbjful]

Don’t forget to give clearances for fitting parts. Exact dimensions will not make the parts fit to each other, a clearance of 0.1 mm is good for tight fit, .2mm is good for smooth fit

[@VidioZoker]

Small tip, for hard to reach places, use something like a drillbit or pencil that fits in the "hole" and measure the object. That will be more accurate than guessing ;)

Why didn't you just adjust your dishwasher spring tension? 😬

[@orbodman]

You shouldn't let the heat out of your dishwasher. The heat is part of the drying process. In fact it IS the process. The heat trapped in the metal pots and pans and also crockery in the dishwasher is necessary to dry the rest of the contents.

It would definitely be more helpful if you scaled down the video inset just a tiiiiiny bit

I'm probably two years late but you can adjust the tension on the door of your dishwasher, it's done on the front of the machine below the door, sometimes behind a grill or toe board

I always appreciate when a creator leaves in the mistakes and let's us newbies know it's okay to try and fail a lot to get what we need - kudos! Earned my sub

Instant subscribe! I love how you walked through your entire process instead of simply showing what the perfected end product looked like.

Lidé, kteří se chtějí učit, jsou určitě více zvědaví na to, co děláte, než na váš smutný obličej! Kdyby tam váš pozdní obličej nebyl, určitě by to bylo užitečnější!

Make it looks so EASY! i could listen to you all day thanks!!!

[@Katiemoleveld]

Thank you I have just bought myself a ender 5 plus using fusion 360 and the way you have explained everything has made it a lot clearer using fusion 360 thank you!!!

[@blakecorkill]

This helped me so much! I knew nothing before today and after tediously studying this video I'm at least a LITTLE more confident. Thanks. Liked and subbed!

[@projektfailure22]

You made this so much easier. Thank you!

[@MidMadn]

You make it look so freakin easy. I have so much trouble trying to learn CAD. I get so discombobulated. Thank You for all you do JJ. I love listening to you on The Perfect First Layer podcast on iheart radio.

[@owenfranke7857]

Thank you so much! Super clear and helpful! :)

[@solozaur]

I'm currently considering getting my 1st 3D printer and I found your video a great introduction to what designing your own pieces is like. Thank you!
