    IMPORTANT: Make sure to add clearance to the ridge at 32:00. A clearance of 0.4 mm (or .5mm) is recommended for FDM printers. A clearance of 0.3mm is recommended for other types of printers (SLS, SLA, OJET).
    ps. thanks to everyone who brought this to my attention.

      Which ridge? Are we talking the ridge on the snap connections or the registration ridges? I just finished the project yesterday. I resized the box width dimension to 65mm. I found the rasberri pi won't fit with the original width dimension.

      Darn - I was aware of that kind of thing, but didn't think to do it right away, until I had done a couple of test prints (my case has to allow for an oversized Seeed Studio LCD, which took a couple of tries to get right.)

    Right thought I would come back and give a big shout out to Kevin for he was the first tutor on how to use Fusion 360. Im now way better than I was on day one. Creating loads of stuff but to make it even better I have already modelled a hydraulic cylinder I want produced and sent the design out to a firm in China. They thought the accuracy and image was excellent. All thanks to one man. Kevin Kennedy. Special thanks Kevin.

    I followed the tutorial the entire way with the intent of making a Pi case. I made some small changes here and there to the final product for ventilation, like patterned holes across the top, but overall just followed the overall design. I had two problems and one nice thing when it came to actually printing it (top and bottom facing the bed) and assembling it that probably aren't super obvious to a beginner beginner.
    The first was that with the clearances involved, while you are modeling a snap fit case, you won't actually be able to put the pi in there, since the audio jack extends quite far past the case and the tolerances involved will prevent that from being inserted and still sitting on the pins. Removing the two pins closest to the overall slot (snapped off by hand) worked fine, and that allowed it to be angled in. The two remaining pins hold the board in place just fine, so I was able to use the bottom without reprinting.
    The second was that while the snap fit did model come together in CAD, when I tried with the actual material I realized it was too brittle to use it successfully that way with the way I printed it (in PLA). So the snap connectors were snapped off on the top half. The nice thing that happened was as I followed the tutorial exactly, I did *not* add tolerance to snap and groove on the lid, as mentioned by Peter Refi in the comments. This allowed me to do a pressure fit closure on the top, which holds it together nicely. Since the case is mainly aesthetic and to prevent damage from bumps, this will perfectly suit my needs, allowing me to have a fully functioning case with a Raspberry Pi 4.
    I didn't get a snap fit case like I wanted, but I learned a lot from this tutorial and through my mistakes, and will try it again on my next project.

      I just watched this today and those clips are ridiculous in this video. How in the world anyone with any understanding of printing, or even how plastic works at all, can think it can bend that much is beyond me.

    • @gonxau
      @gonxau 2 роки тому +2

      Wow, a 2 year old comment getting a reply brought me back to this. Can't believe it's been 2 years.
      "How in the world anyone with any understanding of printing, or even how plastic works at all, can think it can bend that much is beyond me."
      ... That was kind of the point. I was not an experienced CAD modeler nor 3D printer at the time. 2 years ago, this was one of my very first prints as I was learning the basics of CAD and 3D printing. At the time of modeling it, I thought it wouldn't succeed - I think my note in the Fusion file says something like, "I have never seen a retaining tab this large in an actual product". However, I knew I would tape it closed as a permanent fix if the print failed so I didn't care.
      The reason I left this comment was undoubtedly someone, somewhere would try and print this. There were a few comments on the video at the time discussing how useful this would be (and I checked every comment at the time), not a single comment ever said they'd actually gone through and printed it, and what happened and why it failed if you actually tried to print the tutorial. I felt like it should have at least one.
      And plastics - they can do a amazing things, including flexing that far if you use the right material. I like the tutorial as a teaching tool, but for making a case, the design requires revision.
      For the record - 2 years on, I still have this case, it's still in use and still works great, printed off the very first roll of PLA that I ever bought.

    • @_evildoer
      @_evildoer 2 роки тому +1

      @@gonxau And to be clear, I was speaking about the guy teaching, not you. You are right, a very soft rubber like plastic might bend like that, but normal run of the mill PLA or ABS would not. While watching the video I was so surprised at that clip length and went straight to the comments the same as you to see who had printed it or at least commented on those clips and yours was the only mention.

    • @gonxau
      @gonxau 2 роки тому

      @@_evildoer I hope more than one person saw my comment after thinking the same as you and said, "wow, ok, so if I print this, it won't work as a snap case" and revised the design. That would make it very worth it.
      If I was doing this again as a snap connector, I'd make 2-3 design changes, but realistically I'd probably just design it to use some M3 screws.

      very nice points. I was curious as to how it would turn out since I have been looking for ways to add snap fits to some of my designs and thought this video would be good. While it clearly lacks in that department, as you stated, it did help me find tricks I wasn't aware of as a Fusion360 novice.

And even though the snap-fit system didn't exactly work, it serves as a good base to refine, and I'm confident I'll get to a working model with another iteration or two.

    I absolutely AND greatly appreciate these videos. Kevin is a phenomenal expert with Fusion 360 & has great teaching skills. The only improvement I would suggest is to go a lot slower so that we can follow along without having to constantly stop the video, catch up in our Fusion 360 window, then back up the video and start again for the next step. When you are a professional who is completely familiar with the product, it is easy to fly through the steps, but when you're a novice like me - not familiar with the locations of the tools/menus - it takes time to find them. What complicates things is that it seems that Fusion 360 is under constant upgrading/changing so there may be very slight differences in the version we're using vs the version Kevin has used in the tutorial. (Someone needs to teach the Fusion 360 development team the concept of version control.) Thanks, Kevin, for providing these videos!!!

      ​@@ProductDesignOnline My RPi projects include a DIY Android Auto and a media server.
      With the release of the 4, my next project is a ChromeBit alternative to replacement for my mother's aging Intel Compute Stick. I've had her 100% online for years, so moving from Windows 10 to RPi should be uneventful. Then there's the added bonus of faster performance with the 4GB RPi 4.
      I also have several projects queued up for work. Part of our business is tradeshow exhibits, and RPi is the perfect platform to control things like lighting and content. We're even looking at controlling some of a customer's equipment, which will only be shells at shows.
      It's fascinating and so rewarding to do things with less than $100 worth of equipment that once required $40,000+ PLC's.

      @@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt Some interesting projects you're working on. I'm glad you mentioned tradeshows...I have a friend in the industry. I'll have to reach out to him to see if they use RPi at all. Seems like a good use case given the amount of technology that seems to be required for modern exhibits.
      Re: the ChromeBit project. That's pretty sweet. I always liked the idea of making DIY projects that aren't dependent on these big companies products... less data being collected ;)

    Kevin, I really appreach your videos. Considering myself still a "rookie-level" Fusion360 user, I try my best to use streamlined design practices (in other terms keep your command timeline tidy and as small as possible).
    Key lesson learned in this video: Offset command. I frankly didn't know it existed and it makes life so much easier and the design file cleaner. Thank you really much for this :)
    Just a quick hint - I think you already know it from your design experience: if you have to select faces/corners/points etc. that are hidden from view by other elements on top of them, there are two options:
    1) is to use the view cube/orbit your view to reach them and then get back to your original point
    2) is imho quicker - simply press-hold the left-mouse-button and a depth-view opens with a list of all selectable items that lie around your current mouse position (even the once hidden from view). So no need for time-consuming view opeartions. ua-cam.com/video/hCVi1hrjgdM/v-deo.html
