My son Hawk loves to draw. He is always drawing cool robots and I archive them on a separate Instagram account. Recently he and I have dabbled in 3d modeling and I wanted to show him that his cool designs can easily be 3d printed.
If you are drawing something specifically for this project, use dark and bold lines so it is easier to trace in the modeling software.
You've heard me talk about Fusion 360 a lot. It is a cloud-based modeling software package that allows the user to draw in 2D then turn those shapes into 3 dimensional bodies that can easily be 3d printed, used as project plans, sculpted like clay, or animated to show movement and interaction between parts. There is a wealth of knowledge online if you are new to 3d modeling, but this project will help get your feet wet. You can download Fusion 360 for free, after you create an account you can sign up for a free license if you are using it as a hobbyist. Of course, Fusion 360 isn't the only modeling software available, TinkerCAD is a great 3d modeling tool that is geared for children and uses really basic shapes to introduce working in digital 3d space.
In Fusion, I used the Insert icon on the main toolbar to import my son's picture, this will be the canvas that I'll trace over. I then started a new sketch and selected the picture as my drawing plane. Use the Line tool to simply trace out the image, making sure to reconnect the ends of the lines to form enclosed shapes. Be sure to trace over all of the child's lines, not just the outside. To ensure all of the details translate to extruded 3d bodies, each lines should be traced out.
Now that you have the traced drawing, it is time to add another dimension! Select the Extrude tool and highlight one of the shapes you made in the previous step. Use the little blue arrow to pull the flat drawing into a 3d body. Repeat this step until your model looks as proportioned as you'd like it to be. Once you have the new 3d version of the drawing, it is a good idea to take off the sharp edges. Tracing and extruding geometric shapes usually results in sharp edges and corners, if you are making this for a child, those edges can be problematic. Using the Fillet or the Chamfer tools under the Modify icon, you can select one or multiple edges of your models and either round them over or add a slight bevel to make the finished product easier to handle.
Slicing software is a go-between product that will convert 3d shapes into code the 3d printer will understand, called G-code. There are many slicing option available, I used Slic3r but one free version is called Cura and it allows you to readjust the size of your object, set the density of your printed piece, and add support material for any drastic overhangs. If you have a 3d printer, then you should already have the settings for your machine set up in the software, but if you are using a shared printer, confirm the build settings prior to saving the model. Fusion 360 allows you to export your model directly to a slicing software that you specify, it's a really handy option that is found by clicking the Make icon.
Once the print is completed, carefully remove it from the build plate and assemble (if you used multiple pieces). If the joints are too tight, you can sand them until they fit together snuggly; if they are too loose, you can apply a few coats of primer and paint to close up the gaps. I chose to paint my model, and I did so by applying a few coats of filler primer and some spray paint. The paint left the joints a little tight, so I scraped some off the connecting pegs and it came together quite nicely. You can also chose to print your pieces in different colored filament so you don't have to paint them at all.
In conclusion, my son really loved the 3d printed toy made from his drawing. I was super excited to see him react to something that he created and that I made a reality.

I Like To Make Stuff bob you have such an amazing love for your children. That’s the type of father I hope to be for my future children. God bless you man, god bless.
It's worked for me !!
Thanks again !!
Thank you for publishing the fee link. I had no idea.
Thanks for that link, I am currently trying to build a small CNC machine and having Fusion 360 will be great once I have all the parts assembled.
can you make a video about making skyline diffusers? or maybe bass traps? or both?
Dad of the year candidate right here. Thanks for sharing such a cool moment with you and your boy
A Glimpse Inside I
Ditto! That was the best. “Cool, Dad!”
candidate my ass, hes the winner
Check out thomas romain
Candidate? Pshhh yeah right.
That dad is not a candidate, he’s a winner.

This is what parents live for.
"Wow... COOOOOL DADDY" - as a father that has got to be one of the best reviews ever! Great project Bob.
I watch EVERY video from you and now I HAVE to write a comment. As you showed that model to your son and see the joy and thankfulness of him just made me so happy... You're the best UA-camr I have ever seen and you're such an inspirational person! Keep up the brilliant work, I really appreciate that! Best regards
This is awesome! Would be cool to have your son design different arms, legs, horns, etc that he could swap out 😁
Awesome idea!
Wow did not expect to see you
Awww BOB! This was wonderful. The hug at the end, man, that makes it all worth it. Right there.
One thing - the posts CAN be a bit fragile, though, you mitigated this by printing them on their sides. That'll give them strength for days!
3D Printing Nerd Maybe have holes on both parts & use wood dowel for the connections.
Try to make a 3D printed mona lisa.
That's awesome, Bob. Love it. As a dad, myself, it warms the heart to see that innocent, open-faced joy in the little ones' eyes. Well done, dad!
This video shows so much about what your channel is all about. Creativity, skill, execution, and family. Keep it up Bob :)
execution... wait no theres a meaning 2
Knocked it out of the park. Way to go Dad!!
The lok on your boys face, when you handed him the toy, was the best part of this video. Thanks for sharing that moment with us.
This made my YEAR! 🙌🏽
You’re a rad dad. Sending you childhood drawings now.
I don't know how old people are here... but i come from the generation that was born before computers were a thing....
i'm so impressed now that we can have our own "replicator-ish" in home...
I also have a 3D printer and a CNC and make stuff for my childrens and grand childrens... so i can relate... ;) Great work!
He had a fun, genuine reaction and seemed to appreciate his Dad's efforts! Awesome!
That is such a cool thing to do for your child. Taking something from their imagination and making it reality. Bob, you are a fantastic father.
Your son's reaction was priceless 😭
IKR
C'mon Bob! No fair posting emotional father-son moments. I'm not used to these feelings watching your videos. Now all I want is hugs from my kids. Seriously though, awesome video!
That says it all when he Genuinely hugs you and can’t believe you made his drawing come to life. Your are awesome father dude 👍🏽😉 good job.
I've just managed to get hold of my 1st 3d printer and this is a great intro to the possibilities. Thanks Bob 👍
The reaction of your son is priceless! Amazing idea!
kid's right! "Cool Daddy!" Awesome!
Carrey John tf is wrong with YOU?
What the hell is happening in this post? XD
I
Awwww, I love kid art. And the son's reaction was the sweetest. I love it!
Such a good dad! Making your family happy and giving them gifts that they love is really rewarding. Great video sir!
BOB!!! seriously that was one of my favorite projects from you! Take it from a guy that has watched almost all your videos... Anytime there is a father-son project that will bring them close together, thats AWESOME! really cool bro, Blessings!
I'm really glad you filmed and shared that moment with your son. In many ways, this is at the core of why we "make"!
Absolutely! Thanks Matthew!
Thank you for sharing your son's reaction, that was precious!! Nice work
Proper gratitude on your son's face. What a satisfactory feeling he? Thanks for sharing Bob!
Your son's face when he saw the toy = priceless!
This is so creative! I love it. I wish I could make one of my drawings into a toy!! 🔥🔥😀
LOVE! I don't know anything about 3d printing and modeling but I love your videos. No matter what you make I learn and am entertained. Hands down the best part is you presenting it to your son. Very cool!
You're killing the rest of us in the "Coolest Dad" department Bob!
thewuf you spelled "coolest *parent*" wrong lol
stop it
Agreed. Since Bob came along I just gave up trying to be a cool dad and grand dad. Now whenever one of my kids or grand kids asks me to do something for them I just say, "go ask Bob, he's WAY cooler than I'll ever be"!
Rebekah Cox Rebekah there is only 2 genders so it is 2 different rewarfs
This is one of my favorite videos! Great project and so cool to see the joy on your sons face when he received the toy.
You hugging your son was the most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time and I couldn't help but go "awwww gosh that's so sweet!"
Keep up the good work! :D
I've been looking forward to this since you talked about it on the podcast! I have a similar idea I want to do with my boys using a CNC.. really glad you left shot the reveal with Hawk, his excitement was priceless!
Your sons mind is blown. Instant Hero Status! Well Done, Bob!
The moment with your son was so sweet, made me "aw" out loud.
Such a great idea for a project. Your son hugging you at the end is the best!
That is an awesome way to have your kids involved in one of your projects.
i know
You just got me off of Sketchup free and on to fusion 360.
This is gotta be one of my favorite things you've made. Great story behind it and turned out really nice!
+1 high5 to you and your son!
I am envious of your tools and knowledge... I have yet to build the Lego table that my daughter and I want for her Legos...so far she still is into them and piano and violin and crocheting.... She also likes to draw. I can SO see her wanting to do this....but then there is that hands on thing with the crocheting that probably would have her more attached to her creations.
You are a great dad!
Now all of your kids are going to draw something and ask to 3D print it 😂😂😂😂 lol
TheCrazyAussie lol
Lol lol lol
@@thecringeking2456 lol
lol
Lol
Super cool! And a really nice project for someone learning Fusion 360! Also love your son's reaction to the toy. You're an awesome dad Bob!
I swear your my favorite youtuber, you so helpful when it comes to teaching things, at any skill level. thanks for all of your hard work, keep being who you are
Awesome little project... Amazing what we can actually do these days.. :) finally convinced me to test some primer.. looks great!
Wow, what an awesome project, and ending with such a sweet moment between father and son! We have always loved watching your videos, and you keep inspiring us to keep making. Thanks!!
For me 3D printing is now easy because of your videos, always educational and added new dimension to my 3D modelling works. Keep it up, awesome work man....!
I haven’t even gotten far into the video, but you deserve 5 dad points for this project! This is such an awesome thing to do for your child!
Logan Beck he gets 1000 dad points ;D
The hug at the end is what makes it all worthwhile!
Video of the week! Great project, and fantastic moment when you showed him. Love it. Keep up the good work Bob.
Bob, just seeing your son's reaction made it worth the work :)
"Cool. And I like all the things you make." -Oliver (age 4) Thanks for the great video.

The hugs we get are always the best part of it. Cool project!

Dad level 1,000! Love his reaction at the end. This was so cool, Bob! I loved seeing how you converted it all.
I love it when kids are shocked by the kindness of their parents. Way to go Bob!
Another great project Bob! You are such a great dad! By the way, I loved your book. I bought a paperback version on Amazon the day it came out.
Such a great idea! Love it!

That was absolutely amazing, I was as excited as your son. Great project for father/son or mentor/mentee. Great job
This is so adorable, what a brilliant idea. I'd love to do this for my daughter.
Oh boy that kid is awesome. FIRST!
probably thought he was first to comment
I swear I click as soon as I’m notified and I’m never first! 🤔
I'm sorry, but that spot is reserved.
The P.I. Workshop I guess so!! Haha
I’m doing my senior project on toymaking (3d modeling/printing) and glad this is the first video I clicked on, it had basically all the info I need in 7 minutes or so
You are the best dad that your kid has ever had. 👏👏👏
my brain hurts but good vid
I wish you were my dad 《i dont have a dad anymore :( 》
I love drawing!^^
It melts my heart how happy and impressed your son was with his new toy
I liked the making of this object, but cooler than the modeling is the parent-child bond and surprise here. Awesomeness!
BOB BE MY DADDY!!!

@@bryanhutchens8514 wot
Bryan Hutchens why are you on UA-cam
@@robblequoffle8456 because he is.
i think he's a kid whose mother gave him a UA-cam account at a young age, and that likes to spam emojis on videos *because he thinks he's funny* in fact look at his YT channel
Your child is sooo cute. I am so glad that both of you like the finished product.
Love that you made it for you son he seemed really happy
6:33 Happy Ending.

Wow. Thats so cool. Look how big is his smile. Great job.
Wow! Just awesome. The reaction was worth every second of that make! Good job Bob. I’m inspired to do the same thing!
Cool tutorial. We're just beginning to use Fusion 360 at school and this is an excellent idea for our Yr7&8 students to get into 3D modeling with our Makerbot.
Your sons reaction made this so worth watching.
What an awesome video. Loved the reaction from the son. Priceless
Good work ! And that scene with your son is priceless, Thanks for sharing !
what a wonderful thing to do for your son , love his gratitude ..
