- Designing & 3D printing your own Desktop Neon LED Sign in Fusion 360.
This video is sponsored by PCBway. 👇 More info below 👇
Today we’re customising your own desktop neon sign. This project is based on my previous video explaining the electronics circuit and assembly: • How To Make DESKTOP NE...
They can be powered by either a USB cable or 4 x 'AA' batteries giving you a lot of flexibility for placement. Why not use one to illuminate your next garden or beachside party?

Easily the best channel on RUclips for practical learning and following along of projects. Not often you get someone who will share everything so we can follow along at home
Thanks 👍
your videos always get better and better keep up the work
Have you ever worked as a teacher / instructor before ? You have a clear voice, calm manner, are very encouraging though the video and have a nice engaging smile. I'm glad you like Michael Klements have decided to come "on screen" now ! Thanks again from just outside Washington, DC ! 🙂
Hi, I have not worked as a teacher or instructor before. I'm very grateful for your praise though! Thank you.
Awesome, thank you for another great tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
amazing tutorial thanks
Brilliant explanation while using Fusion 360! Love this project.
Thank you
Amazing video mate! Awesome instructions for F360! Fun and educating!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very mcuh for teaching the skill.
Great video!
Great, as always 👍
Thank you 😊
Great tutorial, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Fun as always. Hope you are feeling better.
Thank you. I feel fully recovered now and am looking forward to filming my next project.
- Excellent; well done.
- I'm sure many are benefiting from your efforts.
- Keep up the great content...
Thanks, will do!
Wow learn a some damn cool tricks from this video. Keep them coming
Sure, and thanks. 🙂
¡Gracias!
¡Gracias! / Thank you so much for the support! 😊
Man, you have an incredible talent to be liked and to be a RUclips host, congratulations! Just subscribed :)
Wow, thank you!
Nice job !
Thanks!
thank you
You're welcome
Great tutorial. Would you share the Fusion file for this light bulb shape?
Rather than making 2 dots a certain distance apart on the drawing, take the photo with the ruler visible right next to the drawing.
Instant time saver 👍🏼 Thanks
Awesome. How do I do this with text letters.
I bought 12V instead of 5V lights. Is it possible to change the resistor and capacitor to handle this? I know the batteries won’t work but would like to use the boards and lights I bought and not waste them
If you're doing a 1mm Shell and want to add an "additional 2 milimeters", you have to select the face on the back of the body. As you're selecting the inside face and extrude by 2mm, doesn't that add only 1mm, as it first extrudes "through" the 1mm that's already there?
Actually I just got a Ender 3 printer, so I will be able to print some of the ideas I gave you earlier (my shopping list for Christmas LOL). Please make a video of your workplace, your notebooks and brainstorming methods plus maybe your reading library. Thank you, - Robert. 🙂
Hi Robert, I'm currently in temporary accommodation but hope to move to a more permanent place towards the end of the year. Perhaps once I am settled in there it would be a good opportunity to share a video similar to your request. 🙂
@@DIYMachines Check !
Another small tidbit - to do the backbone at the end (1.5mm) you need to do the extrusion for the Regular extrude and not Thin Extrude - that was my experience at least
Hasselhoff!!! LOL.
He's a classic. 😁
@@DIYMachinesWho is he ?

@@DIYMachines Actually, I think it is a "DIG" that David is bald.

For those who are first timers to Fusion 360 like me, to finish the spline open ended as in the video, press Enter after the last point was marked
Thanks for sharing that advice. :)
I made a Star shap but I can't get the extrude commands to work
How do you extrude such kind of unclosed shapes? Fusion doesn't allow me to select the sketch. I tried thin extrude and normal but without success.
Can't seem to find the link to the Fusion 360 project file. Am I missing something? And while at it: Would you mind exporting it to something more generic like step/stp for those of us preferring other CAD software than F360.
Otherwise: amazing video as usual. Thank you!
Thanks.

Thanks for the great tutorial. But how did you make sure that the length of the channel is exactly a multiple of where the LED strip can be cut? Cant find any way to get the length of the spline to adjust it accordingly
Off the top of my head you should be able to use the 'Measure' tool from the 'Inspect' menu at the top. Click on one of your lines and it should tell you the length.
@@DIYMachines I'll try that. Thanks a lot!
Did I miss the part anywhere on your page on how to power this through USB battery: the components/wiring for that?
Hi Ronnie, all that is answered here: ruclips.net/video/5t02s6qDqtE/видео.html
There's something off about this tutorial that I can't quite place. If you're placing the sketch on the back face of the starter, and then extruding -13mm, it extrudes away from the back of the starter clip. If you do the opposite, and do 13mm, it pulls it over the top of the starter as in the video, however if you then add the 2mm extrusion on the back of it, your project will no longer print flat, because the shape protudes 2mm more
Hello, I have a question about a project of yours, how can I contact you? Thanks!
I wish I had a 3d printer
Can someone please make a nasa worm logo one??
what about pixel LEDS?
The circuit I designed would not work with individually addressable LEDs. You could still use the design and replace the PCB with a circuit of your own design which incorporates a micro controller.
@@DIYMachines i have an artnet controller and an RS-485 chip to run DMX protocol
@@abecoulter8550 I believe you would still need to incorporate a micro controller to analyse the DMX signal and react to the desired channels (likely chosen using the traditional dip switches but could also be 'hard coded').
@@DIYMachines nope its an all in one unit with decoder, plug and play
that’s some fancy foot work but i think you lost me
Nice job !
Thanks!
