    James, if you make the centreline as an actual centreline, Fusion will dimension against it as diameters and you don't need to do the dive by 2 thing, and you don't need to manually select the Axis in revolve :)

      It's only dimensions that are snapped to the centerline that turns into diameter dimensions :)

      @@JBLewis you're welcome :) The centerline acts like a normal line in that it will close up a contour, like you'd often want it to for a revolve, but that does make it less useful in other situations.
      These days I really only use it for revolved parts, which I don't do all that often :P

    Very useful tips and tricks in fusion. I find myself always trimming/breaking lines for aesthetics...and always breaking a bunch of constraints in the process. Seeing how you left all the full non-construction lines and it still 'just works' is genuinely really helpful.
    Other stuff like 'scale whole sketch' is extra handy. Bravo sir.

    if you use the construction line as your midpoint you dont have to put in half the diameter for the dimension you can put in the full diamter and it will make it symmetric to that mid point, pretty useful and one less step to take.

    I made caps like this for my gasoline/diesel cans. But I have been struggling with flexible filament print quality. So was glad to see your settings which I will test on my Prusa. Thanks!
    7/14/2024 addendum: Yes those settings worked well for me on my MK3S+ with a Diamondback nozzle. However a recent TPU print required a slight adjustment. I was making guide wheels for a riding lawn mower deck. They are a screw together rim (2 halves) and a TPU "tire". On the bed the tire tapers up and out at the outer edge at first as it prints. The edge was tending curl up, getting higher than the extruder nozzle as it went. Eventually this led to a failed print. So for this part I went to .25mm layer height and extrusion of 1.05. That solved the curling up at the edge. It is so nice to be able to print TPU parts for stuff. I think the Diamondback nozzle really helped. Print quality is excellent now.

    • @balahmay
      @balahmay 9 месяцев назад

      I did follow through with this using the .4 diamond nozzle in a Prusa Mk3s+ and with the recommended settings. The filament I used was Overture TPU, black color. Just a few prints but all look fantastic. I was using a .6 hardened steel nozzle. Great for carbon fiber PLA, but not so great for TPU. (terrible actually) So again thanks for sharing your experience! It definitely helped me.

      @@Clough42 I have a possibly irrational beef with SMC. For hobbyist use, I’m sure they’re fine. At work, I troubleshoot, maintain, and create a lot of complex pneumatic circuits on Swiss aerosol filling equipment. The machine manufacturer, Pamasol, always shipped the machines with Parker/Legris and Serto fittings and we’ve always had a pretty consistent 10-15 years of reliability with each fitting in a harsh environment. Our plant recently started stocking SMC fittings and I’ve had issues such as gripping rings stop working on them after a very short amount of time but I’ve also seen them not fail for years. Just have a preference for Parker/Legris.

    Why don't you use the centerline line to then just dimension the diameter without thinking about having to divide it by 2 to get the radius?
    Because no matter how careful you are you will forget and you will make the radius double the size and if you don't catch it because you are tired or have a lot of features and miss that one, you'll scrap the part even before you made it

    And even though I use Fusion 360 on a daily basis, there are always one or two new things that I pick up from your tuturials.
    One thing I do, is to use the diameter dimension on revolving extrusions. So instead of typing 21.8/2 I use the diameter dimension feature. Hit D for dimension, first click the center line, then the item you want to dimension and then right click and select "diameter dimension".
    Yes, that takes more time and actions but coming back to an old design I now immediately know this is a diameter dimension (or something that is later being mirrored) and I don't have to click on the dimension to see it is a /2 measurement

    It boggles my mind that fusion has no select behind/through hotkeys. Other 3d/cad programs I have used have this and it makes selections so much easier.

    One thing you can do is make the revolve line a center line and the diminsions will work better. there will be no need for the /2.

    Rapid prototyping will always be the first choice. At the current prices of printers, they are affordable worldwide. So too the model sharing. Imagine first world designs being printed in 3rd world village thru a cell phone wifi'd to a village's printer. That's a new world order the world can get behind.

    I've 3D printed countless functional parts from electronics cases to antenna mounts, latches, jigs, cowels, rails, handles and so forth... but one of the coolest use cases is iterative designs for fitment and refinement prior to machining the final part.
    I live on a boat in the summer and have spent years working on it. Absolutely nothing is at a right angle; everything is compound and complicated. Lately I've been milling replacement woodwork out of teak, and 3D printing test pieces before sending the (inverted) job to my CNC machine has cut my failure rate down to pretty much zero. Which is nice.. because teak is expensive. :)

      @@Clough42 Maybe only one slow pan in a single direction? Or maybe a slow ramp up/down and not a jarring reverse? It doesn't bother me at all but if it has a back and forth with a sharp reversal it'll make people uneasy. I would definitely like to see you play around with it a bit more. It kinda turns a 2D video into 3D which could be very useful to give us viewers a better idea of the relative dimensions of what we're looking at.
