You have no idea how thankful I am for this video! When you said "let's add some snap fit parts to the box", I literally said "YESSS THANK YOU!!" out loud hahaha. I know these are from 2 years ago but they are still seriously appreciated and you did an amazing job of showing us noobs step by step. Would love more if you ever decide to hop back into it!
@feelfreefpv I had to adjust some of my settings but the hinge did work perfectly for me. I would like to learn the method you speak of, seems much easier anyway
@@rache5399Nice that it worked out fine, those kind of long overhangs can be quite challenging to print. I made a similar box from another tutorial. The hinge in that model has no long pin through the hinge. Instead of extruding the long pin try extruding a round part and use taper angle to gove it a conical form. Make its staring diameter a bit thicker than the pin. The extrude should be about 5mm long. Mirror that extrude to the other side of the hinge. Now there is no need for a long hole through the hinge. Instead you make indents that corresponds to the extrudes you made. You can do that with the combine command (Cut, Keep Tools). As you need some clearance between the extrudes and the indents you can use Offset Face on the surfaces inside the indent. Push it to get a little bit larger (about 0,3-0,4mm will be enough). Not sure how easy that was to follow without any pictures 😅
Thank you. I came here to learn about hinges and wound up learning a number of Fusion 360 techniques that I had not yet explored. You blunt "do this, do that" style gets to the point very effectively. And even some nice jazz to cover the printing, rather than ear shattering duffa duffa music!
man I'm going to tell you this, i came here to learn how to make a hinge and ended up watching all your videos and subscribing. there's something about your videos and your way of explaining things I've learned a lot more than what I came for. good work, keep the videos coming.
I just agree! First video of his I see, but I will definitely sub and watch them all. This has been the best video I've seen on boxed hinge, snap fit, and even other things bi learned about! THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Thanks so much for this video. I laser engraved pencils for my grandkids for Christmas and I used your video to help me design personalized pencil boxes for each of them.
This was a great tutorial and very well done. I needed a refresher on how to do a hinge as well as a cantilever snap fit so this was literally perfect. It's such a basic 3d printing/modelling skill that's super useful for designing so many things. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together!
Thanks so much for your tutorial! This is exactly what I to learn as a super newbie looking for making some moving parts by 3D printing! Finally found a complete, detailed, and easy to follow tutorial and demo!
thanks for your tutorial, This is my first time with this process, from the design to the making with your printer, I hope to learn more from you, thanks
While it's cool that you can print both halves already connected, a much better design would be a pin made of brass that you would connect the two halves with. Much smoother operation! Nice tutorial, really well done.
Just what I was looking for, thanks! I had designed a hinged box watching a different video but needed a snap to keep it closed. Quick and to the point!
Hi thank you , since I started using Fusion 360 this is the first time I learnt so much in one video. It clearly helps me moving to the next stage. I'm now looking for advices about tolerances and 3D Printing parameters (ie supports) for print-in-place articulated items, if you have that 😀
Nice video, I have a project for my engineering class which requires a box to house a bread board for our electrical circuit and I’m gonna print a box like this with the hinge and snap lid just with a bigger box. Thank you!!!
Just printed a test print with the exact same dimensions for the hinge and the snap fit. The hinge works perfectly! Unfortunately the protuding part of the snap fit mechanism broke off immediately. Obviously the print orientation is the culprit here, as the forces can easily pull the layers apart.
Why the gap in between the “knuckle” and the pin? I get the gap where the center piece floats over it but there shouldn’t be a gap between the inner pin and the hole in the knuckle? Also, why not print it on its side ? Wouldn’t that be a better orientation and easier to manage tolerances ?? Circles are tough to print on the Z axis :) You can easily end up with flat spots on top and bottom of the holes where the filament sags. Especially when you don’t have supports :)
Love this and this is what I am looking for however, when i create the first hinge, and join it when extruding, it joins to the box and the split disappears, creating a solid box once again. Any ideas?
you need to hide the second part when doing the extrusion as the “join” function will join all touching bodies while extruding… you can also repair it by editing the feature in history and hiding the part there…
No problems! Depending on the material you use for printing, the post may round off after opening and closing many times, so you may consider experimenting with different dimensions.
It doesn't delete it, it just hides it. You can make it visible again by clicking the unhide icon, as demonstrated in the video at the hinge extrusion step.

The pin in the hinge is not suited for 3d printing. It's much more reliable to model two conical knobs that goes into recessions instead.

Thanks soooo much for this video. Good demo. Good pace. Well thought out and explained. This is what an instructional video should look like.

Grandpa, I like pencils, too 😇
Very glad this helped your Christmas 🎅🏻

Dear Sir, this the best tutorial I've seen on making a Hinge with Fusion. Clear simple instructions. Thank you so much.

This tutorial is great! Cant thank you enough for this.
Wow... so it doesnt close? xD JK. nice construction
Simple, to the point, and clear instructions.

Great tutorial. Worked well. Did in PLA and the latch broke the first time I tried it, but it was more a learning experience than a functional thing.
Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much. I am going to try and make this box parametrical. Thanks again.
Straight to the point. No endless tangents. Thank you good sir.

I wish I could vote this up for the best hindged box for beginners.

i made the clip 15mm wide and it worked well with the printing orientation he used in the video.
ES UNA DE LAS RAZONES POR LAS CUALES NO TERMINO EL VIDEO CERRANDO PARA VER EL AJUSTE XD
Thanks for this lesson. I hope you have time to keep sharing with us your skills.
THX!!
I'm going to make battery cases with reference to this video.
just wanna say thank you
Excellent tutorial, thank you
Thanks!
He does a great job explaining. Shame it didn't work out for him to continue
I love your tutorials very much! Too bad you stop doing such great Videos.
fantastic video
thankyou, very good for beginners!
Bonjour, Superbe vidéo qui simplifie beaucoup la boite à charnière
great tutorial, thanks a ton, now my cat cant turn my computer off anymore.
Fantastic! Thanks for the great tutorial!!!
such a good tutorial
Very nice. Thank you.
Amazing Tutorial!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent explanation 👍
Excellent tutorial, I learned something today. Thank you!
I was really hoping you'd snap it shut. Did the hinge bind?
Beautiful. Great refresher and you showed me a very clean way of doing it. Thank you.
great video mate, many thanks
Great tutorial!!!!!
Thank you very much 👏 😃👍
Excellent video - thank you!
very good. thanks for the tutorial.
Super precise! Thank you!
thank you
super vidéo très instructive merci
great video. i need to learn fusion 360
Thanks for a great Video hopefully you get more subs and will start making more fusion tutorials :).
nice work

You can easily end up with flat spots on top and bottom of the holes where the filament sags. Especially when you don’t have supports :)
But you did not show that if the locking mechanisism spaped into place or not. :(
Thanks, 👍✌🖖🥃
Excellent tutotial! Thanks!
Why didn't you close the box and show us how well your latch works?
Thanks a lot for this tutorial and demo! Great content, perfect pace!
so the box cant shut? just followed the tutorial and made the box, will print soon and find out. thanks for the vid!
Anyone else’s hinges get offset from the center construction line after they put in the 45° angles?
how does it make the inner pin without it conjoining with the hinge?
NOT WORK .DIDNT CLOSING
Love this and this is what I am looking for however, when i create the first hinge, and join it when extruding, it joins to the box and the split disappears, creating a solid box once again. Any ideas?

@@oliverkatreniak8480thank you! Just the bit of information I needed.
Any problems getting that box open again after closing it?
Very good tutorial! Thank you
No problems! Depending on the material you use for printing, the post may round off after opening and closing many times, so you may consider experimenting with different dimensions.
i noticed it was very stiff once it was 3D printed, is there a way to avoid that?
How to create filp top cap for bottle
Does it not close all the way?
Where did you learn how to do this? Great video btw
Thanks! Self taught…if I can do it, you can definitely do it!
Might be a silly question, but will this work if you put the hinges on the inside of the box?
Just found out it wont work on the inside xD
does it close tho?
i took the curse of the 666 subscrivers
Whenever I first extrude from the hinge, it deletes the TOP body. How do i fix this?
It doesn't delete it, it just hides it. You can make it visible again by clicking the unhide icon, as demonstrated in the video at the hinge extrusion step.
Could you share this file ?
I wonder if Autodesk might consider your video commercial use.
