Great Video! Finally able to use “loft” , “shell” , and “offset plane”…. Perfectly explained without all the extras. Well deserved subscription! Thank you!
Short, direct and to the point without giving your life story. This was exactly what I was looking for and got me sorted out in less than a minute. Thank you for this video! One additional note, I've started exporting to STEP instead of STL, which results in a larger file, but allows the slicer to do the calculations on the curves. The result is a higher resolution curve which when sliced and printed reduces the likely hood of vertical fine artifacts showing up on your print. You get a true curve instead of a "blocky" curve.
In order to avoid printing an entire adaptor only to find that the fit is slightly off, I create another offset plane, sketch a circle, then do an extruded cut (sometimes called a Boolean) so that only a tiny cross-section of the upper ring prints. I then test fit that little ring and make adjustments in my CAD program until the ring fits perfectly. Then I delete the plane and extruded cut, and repeat with a plane and extruded cut going from the top down. Then I take that larger ring and make sure it fits the saw port. Once I know that both ends of the adaptor will fit perfectly, I will do a full print. This saves massive amounts of time and filament.
Iam total beginner with fusion but when you activated shell command you could click on the top and bottom and them just type your wall thickness leaving you with finished product rather then to use 2 commands to do 1 simple task. Just that, have a nice day. Jacob 🙂

Absolutely perfect instructions! Big thanks from my Georgia woodshop

Nice! Thanks for the tip.
Just what I needed, thanks for sharing 👍
You are welcome! Glad it was helpful.
This is exactly what I was trying to do. Many videos had me lost and baffled. This was easy straightforward and helped me get it done quickly!
I have mangled my brain watching numerous tutorials showing how to do this, and yours is by far the clearest thank you!
You are welcome! Glad it helped.
Thanks... Just what a I needed it. I have multiple vaccums machines in my house and is horrible to deal with diameters when buying accesories online.

Thanks for the tip! I was just getting into fusion at the time so definitely room to optimize.
