- Sorry for my raspy voice! Getting over an illness - lost my voice and it’s slowly coming back.
Pretty basic model! If you have any questions or tips/tricks, leave them down in the comments! Thanks for watching!
As part of my 3D printing hobby I've been using Fusion 360 for a couple of years.
I am completely self-taught and still learning. Fusion 360 is a great program but it can be daunting by times
I found the pace of your video and the narration very easy to follow.
Thank you
Awesome video! I always learn so many tips I can apply to completely different projects
I think there’s a lot more benefit watching someone work through a project than watching a video on one specific function. That’s what I’m hoping to achieve with these videos.
I learned a lot in that, thank you for taking the time to put this together in such detail. You have a new subscriber :-)
what an amazing video!! and the slicing example and fixing the supports!!! phenomenal. I'm learning a lot from you! thankssssssssss
Thank you. The press/pull tool will be very helpful. I appreciate you showing that tool.
Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome video!!
Thanks man! You are awesome!
Learned in your tutorial more than in 100 other tutorils at all!
Reeealy awesome work!
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
Great video, thanks for that.
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
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.
@ShopTherapy623 If i remember correctly, autocad does it with a long hover.... I could be wrong
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.
Nice work. You are very thorough; that's rare. All the best in 2025.
Thanks, great tutorial! 👍
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!
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.
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.
Perdona mi ignorancia.. ya llevo algun tiempo con la impresión 3D, y desde que empecé utilizo para fabricar o modelar mis pieza "3D builder" y como cuando comencé en el mundillo del 3D, me parecia todo tan engorroso y difícil, solo dedicaba tiempo a aprender a usar 3D builder.. y si que se pueden hacer algunas cosas si tienes algo de idea y maña.. pero lo veo bastante limitado en comparación con muchos otros programas que veo... y queria hacerte dos preguntas si no te importa.. este programa que usas en el video es "Fusion 360?" Y la otra pregunta seria.. que programa me recomendarias que no fuese muy complicado de usar.. muchísimas gracias de antemano 😊..
Sí, el programa que estoy usando es Autodesk Fusion. Aparte de Google Sketchup, es el único programa que he utilizado para el modelado 3D. Es un programa muy robusto y puede hacer cualquier cosa que quieras que haga. Lo siento, no tengo ningún buen consejo sobre qué otro software usar. Hay una versión gratuita de Fusion que puedes usar, y no es muy difícil de aprender.
Mil gracias por responder.. intentare usar esa versión gratuita de Fusion que me dices .. un saludo y gracias de nuevo por la respuesta @@ShopTherapy623

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