Thank you for this video. I’m a real newbie with fusion and find it more “con-fusion”. Your step by step method lets me follow along and achieve the same results. Very much appreciated! Subscription entered as soon as I finished the video. Too often this type of video says things like “just hide the…” or “make the array…” without showing you how. They feel a lot like my old calculus book where they often stated “the proof is left as an exercise for the student”. I wouldn’t need the book if I could do the proof! BTW, it printed without issue. If you change the cover to have a hole, it would also work to capture a nut and make a female rather than male.
Yeah they need to take a page out of Blender’s book - hold down “option” and it’ll detect an edge loop and select them all. Doesn’t seem like that would be too difficult to implement.
2:11. A shortcut I like is if you know the diameter, and it's asking for the radius, you can just enter: 11.125/2 it'll do the math and put it in for you. FYI.
Another great tutorial Doug! When you chamfer the plug (20:36), could you invert the chamfer edge to the plug, so it would fit flush on the surface with no gap? Ok I know would then be tough to remove, but just a thought as another option.
Yes, absolutely you can. You could leave those chamfers out and try to get it as snug as possible to try and hide that plug. I come from a woodworking background. In cabinet making, if there’s a seam that’s hard to hide, you actually try and make the seam look like part of the design instead (by chamfering the edges). So that’s what I did here - tried to make the seams look obvious so it looked like part of the design.
Yes, I said that in the beginning of the video - if you have the bolt just measure it. However, not everyone has calipers. I actually didn’t have the bolt when I designed these.
what an amazing video!! and the slicing example and fixing the supports!!! phenomenal. I'm learning a lot from you! thankssssssssss
Thanks man! You are awesome!
Learned in your tutorial more than in 100 other tutorils at all!
Reeealy awesome work!
Thank you. The press/pull tool will be very helpful. I appreciate you showing that tool.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice work. You are very thorough; that's rare. All the best in 2025.
i'm learning a ton from these! i didnt know about using the combine tool to cut like that. super helpful
yeah, I think "combine" is kind of a weird name for that tool, since it does other things as well
This is an awesome video!!

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to fusion and 3d printing. Picked up a few new concepts from this.
Glad to hear it!
I wish fusion was more consistent when selecting a single edge and auto detection the rest of them.
Great tutorial, thanks

@ShopTherapy623 If i remember correctly, autocad does it with a long hover.... I could be wrong
Great video, thanks for that.
When you insert the polygon at the beginning you can put in the math formula 11.1/2
Ahh yes! I knew that, but my brain wasn’t braining! Great tip!
Thanks, great tutorial! 👍

I would assume if you are making a knob for a hex bolt, you already have the bolt. Why not just measure the bolt?
