I forgot to say - the box is parametric. It means, if you need to move connector position or its size or if you need to make the PCB larger/smaller or change mounting holes, just update the dimensions in the drawing or in the PCB. The box will update automatically as almost everything in the box is referencing to the drawing or PCB.
Great! i am often do housings like this too. Little tips: Fusion can work with Cura without exporting stl (file - 3d printind - select body- and chose Application (Cura)). sry for bad eng
Thank you Bulbazaurus PS: I am planning to try to print directly from Fusion, just for now it was easier to use Cura. Need to find time to explore that part of Fusion.
Awesome!!, Thank you so much! All the tools and tricks with a very practical outcome, by far the best tutorial I have seen on creating a box to be pritned with all the details to be considered and using the right tools of the software.
great tutorial Robert! I especially like the vent pattern you ended up doing at the end there. One thing: at 10:00 when you were making the PCB- instead of extruding and moving, it would have been easier to add an offset to your extrude. That way you get a cleaner timeline and can change both at the same time if you need to adjust it later.
I also like the vent pattern but is there a way to make the surfaces part of the case side rather than having the line hatch effect caused by the individual bodies (which don't print out as well). I appreciate that any surface would have to be thin so as not to lose the vent holes but hopefully would give better finish. I'm only just learning how to do things in Fusion360!
Really good intro on how to do this. However I did struggle for a while trying to decide why you used different offsets for the first set of connectors vs. the 2nd set - until I went back to the initial pictures at the start of the video where you can see a much larger gap around the USB and Ethernet connectors. Was this done to allow more tolerance for fitting of larger connectors? Is 0.2mm offset reasonable for most connectors?
I find fusion360 way better than altium. You can do everything with it electronics, 3d design, machining, simulation, renders, animation with all cload colaboration and this all just 1000 dollar for 3 year. People still haven't realised power of f360.
Hi Rob, i am impressed of your agility and logical project creation, CAD programs need logical thinking and planning what and how to do in this step, and another, how to modify it. Is it really possible to make so precise measurement of the print ? Robert, from your practice, which printer is better to make a detailed projects, Prusa, or maybe Enders, or another, I would like to have at least 30x30 cm table for larger elements for printing thanks for a few words if you can tell anything, i just start to plan my 3D printing way.
Prusa printers will give you good print quality from the start and less hassle then budget printers. Almost all printers can be calibrated to print with similar quality and dimensionality. There is no affordable Prusa FDM printer with a 30x30cm^2 bed though (The Prusa XL is at least 2100€!!!). You probably want to get an Ender-10 Style printer if you are budget constrained AND want a big bed. You can and should calibrate the printer to print very accurately in terms of dimensions, it's a tedious and sometimes tricky iterative process though. Do NOT get a resin printer, they are really messy and the parts can warp too. The best budget choice with a reasonable bed size is the "Ender-3 v2" right now. This model is really good overall and easy to assemble. Only bad thing is the fan, it's a little bit noisy, but you can swap it if need be. It's the same model Robert is using btw!
@@RobertFeranec I understand, since I've never worked with Fusion, my doubt is if there is any limitation doing so. I work a lot with Altium and Solidworks, and my workflow is to export my board from Altium as a step file, import it in SolidWorks and design a box around it. My doubt is if such workflow is possible with Fusion as well.

You are amazing Robert. All the videos are so great. Please do not stop uploading
Robert, Thank you for the great video tutorial. It was very easy to follow along with your detailed instructions.

My STM32MP157D-DK1 just arrived, so this video came out right in time for an enclosure. It was nice and informative. Thank you!
Please, let me know when you design the box. I am curious if this tutorial will help.

I didn't know there is an offset - now I will know. Learning every day something new. Thank you very much

It was really a very successful and useful content thanks a lot
Very nice video, TNX
Thanks for sharing video
Nice video, keep it up, thanks for sharing :)

Are there any courses about fusion 360?, As a electronic engineer I found it very interesting
very nice
good vid. Why no Discord chanell?
Thank you Robert
I have a question..
How can we produce these boxes in bulk? And what is the cheapest way to achieve that?
Rule no 1 in F360. Avoid sketch patterns and mirrors.

I use ENDER 3 V2 and I am super happy with the printer (I also have the Touch sensor for automatic bed leveling).

There are a lot of Raspberry´s modeled in 3D in .step format. Is there a reason you didn't use a ready-made model in your project?
Yes, he's creating a tutorial so we can make slight modification's easily.
RPi is only an example. It's a tutorial to show how to design a box for any PCB.

@@xxultz yes, it is possible. I made a video about it: ruclips.net/video/2UrFoMx_mn4/видео.html - I use a board 3d model there
Hi Robert, is possible to export 3D model of pcb direct from Altium to Fusion ?
Yes, you could then design the box like this: ruclips.net/video/2UrFoMx_mn4/видео.html
