How to Use Parameters in Fusion 360 to Design Functional Parts // 3D Printing
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- User parameters are one of the most powerful tools in Fusion 360, especially when you're designing functional, 3D printed parts! In this tutorial, I'll take you through a real-world example (making magnetic brackets for a towel rod in my kitchen) to demonstrate how to take measurements of existing objects with calipers, input these measurements as user parameters in Fusion 360, create new user parameters to add flexibility to your workflow, and use this information to design precise, 3D printed parts.
Thanks for watching!

Loved seeing your process to making that 3-D object. Hope you do more!
Thorough and clear explanations, well done.
Thanks, Jacob 😊
Nice video, easy to follow. Adding the right clearances always gets me. 🙂 Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🐒
Thank you! Clearances are definitely somewhere between an art and a science.
bruuhhhhhhh my mind just exploded at how much easier it is to design this way. It makes iterations so much simpler to edit. Thank you for expanding my brain
Thanks for watching!
Wow great tip on the parameters use
Thank you!
I love your videos man and I’ve also just started with fusion 360 .
So helpful! Thanks 🤙
Awesome! Thanks for watching
Once again, explained very clearly and understandably.
Appreciate it 😊❤️
@@MorleyKert 👍🏼
great tips in here Morley!
Thanks grant!
great video Morley! i learnt 2 things kind of, 1 constrcution lines(could you talk about these and the different types of lines/why you would use each one?) and also extruding in both directions ect i didnt know that was a thing.
i also can never get the curve tool to work for me haha
Thanks, Adam!
Like many terms in modern 3D modelling, “construction lines” have their origins in hand drafting (drawing plans with a pencil and paper). They are basically lines that don’t represent any real object, but are just used to aid in the drawing/positioning of other things. In fusion, making lines “construction lines” is mostly a visual thing, but you also can’t extrude construction lines, and they can’t form a boundary of a closed shape (I.e. they are “invisible” for 3D modelling) which can be handy.
@@MorleyKert that's the gist I got. Can you make different shaped construction lines? I.e a box
Yep! Any sketch object can be made of construction lines. It’s just a toggle button in the sketch palate.
@@MorleyKert awesome thanks
