Functional 3D Printed Fasteners In Fusion 360

In this video we'll use Autodesk Fusion 360 to create functional screw threads that can be applied to your projects with amazing results.

This was the first video that I have watched on using Fusion 3d. It was very informative. I like that you showed several ways to do something, because it gives me more tools in my brain when looking at parts. It would have been just as easy to roll the nut over and do the circle/extrude, but you showed how the mirror function works. Not because you are lazy, but because you have a teachers mindset. Thanks so much for this. The only input that I have was I found that my nut when on the bolt pretty easy one way, but had to be deliberately aligned to go on the other way. I found that it was because the 1st way you did the threads you told it to countersink. The 2nd way you put the chamfer on both sides. What I realized was that countersink only put the taper on one side of the nut. It needed a chamfer on the other side. I wouldn't have realized the problem if you hadn't shown both ways to create the threaded hole. Love this video, love the 3dhinge video. Keep the 3d design videos coming, you have a new subscriber.

Thanks for the kind word! I'm glad you were able to get something out of this video. Obviously, you paid great attention to it. Are you watching Fusion 360 videos for the purpose of 3D printing or general knowledge? Anything in particular u would like to see done in Fusion? Thanks again for the kind words & thanks for watching!

Thank you so much! I needed to make custom C-Clamps, and this video was exactly what I needed. Your directions and explanations are fantastic. Thanks again!

[@pushingplastic7445]

Great! Glad to hear it and happy it helped! Thanks for watching!

[@richardkingus]

thanks again I have learned so much from you. Only thing I wopuld of like to known is why you to the push pull on the threads

[@pushingplastic7445]

I use the push pull to create clearance/tolerance for the thread to engage. If I leave as Fusion makes them, they won't engage. The expansion/contraction of the plastic makes it too tight.

[@andyb7754]

It may take YOU only a few minutes to draw it, but for me it'll take quite a while. I'd love to learn Fusion 360 and appreciate your videos. Thank you.

[@pushingplastic7445]

Keep at it, you're going to get there! Look at Fusion like 3D Printing. In the beginning it's hard to get a good print, but the more you do it, the easier it becomes and the better the prints are!

@@pushingplastic7445 Thank you.

[@kamukorp]

Thanks for the tip at 12:30 ! Exactly what I was tryng to do but couldn't figure out how =) ( didn't thing of press/pull on such a complexe shape!)

[@pushingplastic7445]

The Press/Pull comes in handy! Thanks for watching!

[@spudnickuk]

This is a great tutorial.
One thing I can say what I do to reduce friction from threads binding is reduce the bolt thread diameter by 0.3 . This makes it more better for movement

[@pushingplastic7445]

Thanks! Reducing the diameter y 0.3 will work too!

[@spudnickuk]

@@pushingplastic7445 just to say threads is a big problem in 3d printing meaning it takes a lot of understanding to get right
Due to the nature of shrinking or expansion of the threads.
But to create for what you have done and shown it is amazing to show and and understand.
From our understanding of our knowledge. If that makes sense

[@pushingplastic7445]

@@spudnickuk If I understand correctly, using the M12 thread as an example. Instead of drawing the diameter at 12 mm, you draw it at 11.70 mm? When I do that and THEN apply the thread, Fusion determines the closest standard thread size. In this case, an M12 x 1.75. When I check the major diameter of the thread I get 11.83 mm which is in line with standard screw charts. But by applying the Press/Pull method I'm getting a major diameter of 11.43, a little more clearance. When I go back to fusion and change the diameter to 12 mm, instead of 11.70, I'm still getting 11.83 as my major diameter. I might be misunderstanding but willing to learn!

[@wnctrailcam]

I take it one step farther and make a full fillet on the end of the threads. That for me makes much stronger threads.

Great explanation and video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you & thanks for watching!

You are so good at exp so i lorn so fast….✌🏻😁

[@pushingplastic7445]

Thank you for saying that!!! I'm glad the video helped and thank you so very much for watching!

[@thegreenymeany]

Thanks for the video you helped me a lot.

[@pushingplastic7445]

Awesome! Thanks for watching and glad it helped!

Wow! I'll have to learn to use Fusion360! 😅😅😅
