Why don't you use separate components for the body and the lid?
This is a great tutorial. Worked great for my project.
I use Carbide Create for my tool path creation. It’s easy to hit the limits of the non-pro version. The advanced v-curve is especially useful in my work. I’ve been using Fusion 360 for many years and never considered using the machine workspace until recently. Thanks for showing the flat-bottom v-curve, that’s essential the advanced v-curve!
What happens if when you simulate the green is actually red? It doesn’t look to deep (0.020”)
This was a really good video and explanation of how great parameters can be, I need to start using them more. The video was so good I went to your channel to check it out and then hit the subscribe button!
Glad you liked it! Thank you for the positive feedback 😊
Very useful, practical guidance.
I'm sure there is a way to do adaptive clearing clearing with V bits yeh sure they wont be flat on the bottom they will be serrated but but for those of us who don't have auto tool changers i think its worth doing
Both this and your original video covering tolerances and design for fit were excellent. Thank you. I’m wondering if you also put calipers to your test prints of shafts and holes so that you know the actual deviation / error from nominal (verses checking fit between both parts you have printed). I’m thinking of the case where you’re designing a part that needs to fit with another component or assembly produced by a 3rd party, not printed by you.
5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it [b]robbery to be equal with God, 7 but [c]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 9 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:5-11
I tried to draw and follow along in Fusion. When I engrave the triangles, and text. It seems the point of the tool is following the path. this causes the end product to be wider than the sketch. In your examples the cut, at the surface is even with the sketch geometry. What am I missing? Thanks. After much faffing around, I solved it in the heights tab. The recent change in that tab contributed to the confusion. Would have thought it would have defaulted to the correct setting
I originally looked for a tutorial to make cookie cutters in Blender but your explanation was so clear it made me want to try it out with Fusion (something i've never worked with) and it went great! Thank you so much for sharing this video!
That is Awesome!!!!! So happy to hear that !!! Yeah. As someone who hops between Blender, Fusion, and other 3D modelers frequently I think you made the right call . Blender is an awesome piece of software but Fusion is perfect for this kind of thing. Cheers!!!
I go simpler, my tolerance is 0.4 mm as well, but I apply it directly on the design or use either push/pull or offset faces. You can go back and modify this parameter in the timeline too. Thanks for the tutorial.
OK, I just want to say that this was one of THE best tutorials on Fusion 360. I hadn't used the "project" command or parameters before. SO helpful, and has improved my workflow significantly! Thank you so much for sharing this!
That is amazing!! Really glad to hear that it was helpful!
Wow. You really get into the weeds. Impressed.
Thanks Sam!
I get error messages every time I try to import an SVG or DXF file into Fusion from Abobe Illustrator. The image won’t even show up in Fusion.
Hi, Curious if you took a class to learn all about 3D printing? If so can you please refer the name of the school? I'm looking at making cookie cutters for my bakery business.
This was mad informative. Thank you for this great tutorial!
Wow. I do the same paper test with my 3d printer. 👍🏾
Don't stop, your videos are great!!!
First, I really love your videos. I find that the topics exactly align with what I am searching for. However, most most of them are at least twice as long as they need to be. People have short attention spans these days. You often take several paragraphs of text to explain something that can be explained in two sentences. For instance, the whole part of the video where you’re explaining 3-D printing extrusion tolerances. You could’ve simply said “3-D printers don’t print with 100% dimensional accuracy. This causes printed parts to fit poorly unless you build in a tolerance.” keep that in mind. I think you’ll get a lot more complete views if you condensed the videos a bit.
This is great. The female side is supper easy in Fusion. Now show the process for building the tool paths for the male side. That would be amazing
Great explanation and demonstration of a simple yet crucial concept.
I find your tutorials an immense help in learning about Fusion 360. Thank you so much for your valuable time.
Seems like bad practice to define parameters that you arent going to actually use
Very useful in every step. Thanks. Btw, can we copy the parameters to other projects or we have to create in every project?
I have found both the videos that you have produced, re Tolerance and Fit highly informative, but like @mingmac I have the same question, is there a way that these tolerances can be saved be saved into Fusion360 for future use. I have researched t'internet and am unable to get a definitive answer to the question.
Most of what you note in your video can be addressed in the slicer parameters rather than modifying your designs (tolerance fits). You can also adjust for things like material shrinkage which will throw a lot of the fitment done in the design out the window.
Heyo! Technically speaking, you are correct, a lot of what I'm explaining in this video “could” be done in the slicer and I've been really impressed but what slicer programs can do and how much they have evolved over the last few years. But, as Dr. Ian Malcom says (kinda lol), “just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should”. In my opinion the slicer method is a solid ‘hack’ if you are using someone else’s CAD / don’t have the ability for to modify the CAD file BUT it has limitations as complexity increases. Let’s say for example you have an assembly that needs to snap together in one area but have a working slide or rotational hinge in another… for something like that I’m going to need to have localized control over fit offsets. I also work across platforms so I can’t always rely on a slicer. When I'm CNCing for example it’s important to understand the underlying principles to get everything to work / program toolpaths properly. Overall I think if the slicer is working for your applications keep using it, but if you want to have more control over what’s happening ‘behind the curtain’ I recommend integrating the offset principles into your modeling process :). Cheers!
This is so good toppie grtz from the Netherlands
Super helpful!
I understand offsetting the shaft, however why do you need to offset the adjacent face? If the shaft clears wouldn’t the lid close anyway? It seems like it’s just closing .4mm lower. Someone help me understand.
It's not important in this example, but if you need perfect lenght dimensions, it's important. I suppose that's why he shows how to do it.
Will try to apply this to blender and tinkercad.
This is not a good approach. There is the "Press Pull" option that allows you to simply select faces and specify how much you want to them pushed in or out.
Hey Jonnie, Appreciate the feedback. Your comment brings up an interesting point that probably warrants a follow up video from my side. I actually really like the convenience of the “Push / Pull” feature inside Fusion BUT I also think it has some issues, especially for beginners. My main issue is that it tries to do too much and combines too many other features together. Personally I like to be intentional with my features and order of operations so I don’t like how Push Pull contextually switches functions. Yes it keeps the timeline clean but it comes with the risk of losing your design intent/ your ability to track changes if you aren’t careful. The other (minor) issue I have as someone who bounces between CAD programs is that there’s no direct 1:1 in the other programs so that can be confusing for beginners. Regardless, you make a good point that by only explaining the basics principles for adjusting fit in this video I don’t explain the faster techniques for actually getting the job done.
Thank you for the informative, concise explanation.
That video is awesome.
Hey this is a great video! I am now designing a computer chassis in Fusion 360. I have studied this "tolerence" topic before and I found that the "transitional" tolerence of my Bambu Lab X1C printer (with PETG material and 0.4 Nozzle) is 0.3mm. So I created a "Tol" (tolerence) parameter in my Fusion 360. I added/subtrcted this "Tol" to the dimension when I design something like dovetail connection of two boards. So my questions are: 1) Is my way of resovling the tolerence issue like above right? If yes then I am going to do this to every part of the components where I see there is tolerence issue. Correct? 2) I know that there is setting in printer called "Horizontal expansion" (Cura) or "X-Y hole compensation" (Bambu). Should I use them to resolve the tolerence issue instead of doing it in Fusion like #1 above? 3) If I want to share the STEP file with others (not the Fusion file) should I put a note there and tell the user the tolerence setting I have so that the user can adust on their own? Sorry for many questions above. 🙂 Appreciate your time and effort!
Nice Video. I just started to use Fusion 360, before I was using FreeCad which seems much more complex and less pleasant. I think it easier to us "Press Pull" feature on selected walls to adjust clearance/tolerance instead of doing offset on sketch.
I have resisted dedicated vcarve cnc software because of the price. Having student version of Fusion I am going to master the learning curve thanks to you. I appreciate the examples and have subscribed. Happy Friday!!
Can you provide files to follow along?
Instead of doing all those projections and such, can't you just simply extrude 0.4mm from each side needed for a tight fit without having to do all that complex stuff?
Great question! The fun thing about 3D modeling is that there isn’t necessarily a right or wrong way in a lot of cases, it just comes down to what makes sense for you / what is the fastest workflow for you. Personally I like to use sketches whenever I can because it’s easier for me to keep track of and I feel that it minimizes the # of operations but yeah try out the extrude technique if that works for you!
@@jetpackprojectgotcha, thank you for the clarification! You’re right about there not being a right or wrong way in 3D printing. I actually tried the extruding method to connect two pieces together, and it worked!
Many thanks for this upload, most of my CAM experience has been based on heights. I didn’t realise the manual control of heights seems to cause more problems that solves when using V-Carve. I’ve been pulling my hair out for days with Fusion 360’s workflow with regard to engraving CAD and CAM. Really pleased to have found this video, your explanations and clear communication was spot on. Many thanks.
That’s great to hear! Glad to help and I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment! Totally agree with you, it was a transition for me as well to dive into the Fusion 360 workflow but now that I’ve used it for a while I do like the flow
I liked your video, problem I have is your way too fast.
Glad you like it and I appreciate the feedback, I will try to slow down a bit in future videos. Thanks !
Finally a Fusion 360 constraints video I actually understand.... Aligning things in Fusion 360 has always a problem for me until now... Thank you!
That’s great! I remember being so frustrated with constraints when I started modeling too. Keep practicing and it will become second nature to you !
Really good content and pace. Showed me exactly what I needed to know to get a project done. Thanks!
While things do change over time, when I drew a rectangle by choosing an upper left and lower right, my rectangle was already constrained. I could not click on an edge and alter its size or shape. Is this due to a change in Fusion, or might I have a setting different from yours? My rectangle edges are all light blue. And after adding a dimension to the horizontal and vertical edges, my colors remain the lighter blue with no highlight due to hovering but only by selecting a line after selecting the dimension tool does it change to the darker blue. v2.0.18460
Hmmm that’s a tricky one, sometimes Fusion will automatically apply constraints you don’t want depending on where you click… try toggling the show/hide constraints in the sketch to see if that helps / shows any constraints you may not have expected
thank you. What tolerance values would you use if you are just making a model to sell the stl to others? If you don't know what printer they are using is there a basic tolerance value we should use?
I may not be the best person to answer that question since I don’t sell any files currently, but I had got a commenter a few weeks ago who said that he’s found that the fit offsets tend to match up with the nozzle size 0.2mm nozzle = 0.2 mm transition fit. I haven’t tried this personally but it might be a good starting point for you. When you sell your parts maybe offer users 2 versions with the 2 most common nozzle sizes.
Thanks for this video. Does a new block need to be printed for a 0.2mm nozzle and a 0.4mm nozzle?
Hey patty, yes since each machine/setup has its own variance, you would want to test each setup individually… they may be close enough that you could use the same settings but you would want to test to make sure
@@practicalalchemy407 Gotcha, thanks! Where would you place the Z seam? Sharpest corner or random?
Been 3d printing for a few years and this is the best explanation I've seen on the topic. Great stuff, subbed and will be learning more from you.
this is criminally underrated, superb video. appreciate your help on my project :)
you are very welcome :). I appreciate the positive comments
You're amazing. Great video, thank you!!!
What is the command in Fusion 360 to do this? I can't find a v-carve command. Thanks
Good morning! Try using the Engrave command
