- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- In this tutorial, you will make a piston assembly for a V8 engine. You will create each individual part including the piston, connecting rod and connecting rod cap, wrist pin, and 12-point screws. Your will then assemble them using different joints and adjust the appearance. This is a great tutorial for beginners to intermediate users. Hope you have a great time modeling and learning with the Learn It! channel.
The idea of this tutorial came from the following series teaching Solidworks:

best tutorial
Thanks so much!!!
WE NEED THE 2 PART !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it! Hang tight and stay TUNED (pun intended for car-lovers)!
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Much appreciated. Glad that you enjoyed it and wanted to show your thanks this way.
Phew! Made it. I've started trying to model each part before I watch its section of the video. I can usually get there, though sometimes not as efficiently. Definitely looking forward to more of this series. But in the meantime, I'm going to get some additional practice modeling vintage machinery. There are a bunch of blueprints in the Downloads forum of the Home Model Engine Machinist website. Can't wait!
I really admire how hard you’re working at learning Fusion! Amazing! Getting a bunch of blueprints and going to town with them is one of the best things to do to learn. Have fun!
30:11 mirroring works if you use compute type: identical instead of adjust
Such a great comment! Yes, such a simple solution.
Best Fusion 360 lessons on the net, great channel
Awesome comment! Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Thank you very much for this important lessons, especial for the 10 Editable parts. 🙂
You’re most welcome! The engine block is coming up next. Stay tuned. Hope you enjoy our other tutorials too 😃
Thank you, all problems are dissolved. 🙂
Amazing. After watching the video I subscribed immediately. Thanks!
Awesome, thank you! Hope you enjoy our other tutorials too!
Thanks for being aware of the file limitations of a personal license 1:03
You’re most welcome!
I love your videos. Wished you used mm dough.
Thanks so much! Most of our tutorials are in imperial because most of our viewers are out of the US. However, we still try to go back and forth between imperial and metric to try and provide useful tutorials for all.
As I’ve mentioned in other tutorials, I am from Canada which officially uses the metric system. However, most in the manufacturing sector within Canada have learned to use imperial since a lot of work comes out of the States. Therefore, I encourage all my students (I teach Fusion professionally) and all my subscribers to try to learn to work with both systems.
Keep up the good work! Please make sure to comment on and like our tutorials that use the metric system. 👍
@learnitalready ahaa thanks for explaining. I never understood the whole inch, Fahrenheit etc. For me, they don't make sense. Water freezes at 0, and it boiles at 100 :) Now i also understand why you are such a good teacher,... you do this professionally :) great work! I've watched a few of your videos and had to stop sometimes to understand "he did what???" as I'm a beginner and don't know all the shortcuts yet.
@@envt Completely understandable. The metric system is quite easy to understand and work with. Have you watched our series of beginners tutorials yet? It should really help with learning all the shortcuts and fundamentals. Also, we have Udemy course where I’m teaching a friend from the ground up. The RUclips tutorial series is free whereas the Udemy course can be purchased. Here are the links:

Glad to be first one watching this master piece ❤️
You are too kind! Thank you so much for your support. Please share what you learned.
Thank You GREAT Learning Tool for me
So glad to hear!
Amazing tutorial, great to learn. Thank you
Thank you for your encouragement! Glad you liked this tutorial. Hope you enjoy our others too.
Excellent tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
Gold star for this one. Excellent pace and tips, and I particularly like that you chose common set of parts, ie; piston and con-rod, to keep it real. Thanks,
Thank you so much! Your comment is very much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
I don't know how old this video actually is. It says "6 months ago" as I am watching it. I think I could really learn from this guy. But it's unfortunate that it's only 720p. That really makes it tough when you're tying to learn CAD. Everything on the screen is so fuzzy.
Please change the resolution. RUclips defaults to a lower resolution based on the current speed of your Internet. You can change the resolution by clicking on the settings gear on the video you’re watching. Thanks!
Side note: I'm guessing the video before this in the Absolute Beginners playlist-#30, by the The Final Cut Pro Bro-wasn't intended as part of this series? 😉
😆 Thanks for catching it and letting me know.
Instead of drawing the connecting rod base as one and then split the body to obtain 2 parts? Is there a particular reason why you drew it twice and didn’t utilise the split body?
By the way just come across this channel amazing, clear concise. Fantastic
Very good observation and question. I thought about that exact same question. I first thought that splitting the body would be easier for our viewers, considering that this is a basic/intermediate tutorial. However, when I thought about for a while, modeling the thread and c-bore features may have really complicated things and added more explanation and time to the tutorial. However, creating two different components for the connecting rod, while possibly adding more time, has the additional benefit of teaching students how to improve in their assembling skills.
So, to sum up, for a more advanced user, creating one sketch and extruding two components, or splitting the body is definitely a viable option. The method that I chose in this tutorial, in my opinion, is a little easier for a beginner/intermediate user to comprehend and edit/adjust if necessary. For you to ask the question you did, definitely shows a fine understanding of the principles of design. Keep up the awesome work!
I'm sorry, it's not possible at 19' 22" to Extrude the text 'Learn It!' to minus -0,15" ?
But + 0.15" or more is working fine.
Error text:
There was a problem combining geometry together.
If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure
that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can
occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident).
As far as I can see, I have copied everything perfectly as you told us. 😞
Thanks for reaching out! Working through problems only helps us to figure things out much better than if we didn’t hit them.
Question for you: what font did you use?
@@learnitalready
Thanks for your question.
Font: Impact, Text Height: 0.5", Text Align: Center 2x, Constraint text to the center: Coincident.
It is still possible to rotate the Text?
Thanks for letting me know. Sometimes a different font creates problems but you are using the same font as the tutorial. The next best thing I can suggest is to delete the extrude and sketches tools and try again. There might be a possibility that you have another sketch visible that is accidentally being selected when trying to select the text. Let me know if that solves it.
@@learnitalready
Thank you very much for helping me.
This time I first placed the text in the top left corner in a quarter of the piston, this time with Arial, then I performed the negative Extrusion, which worked well, then I placed the text back in the Center in Sketch, then Finish Sketch , and now everything is fine.
Then I changed the text to Impact with edit Text, and after Finish Sketch the error message appeared again.
I have now changed the text back to Arial, everything is fine now, and I can continue with the exercise. :-)
Hi,
When I extrude cut the text I get this error,
"Error: There was a problem combining geometry together.
If attempting a Join/Cut/Intersect, try to ensure that the bodies have a clear overlap (problems can occur where faces and edges are nearly coincident)"
So, from a quick google search I found that within the text sketch you can right click on the text and then click "Explode Text". After that exit sketch and extrude cut as shown in your video
On a side note, should the connecting rod shank have more dimensions or relationships (fully defined)?
Thanks so much for reaching out. I'm not sure exactly what the problem is. It might be an issue with the type of font that you selected. Try another one and let me know if that works. Also, regarding "Explode Text," sometimes that damages your text geometry which can create open profiles rather than closed. If they aren't closed, then you'll receive errors. So, try first with a generic font, perhaps the same one I used, and then let me know if you're successful. All the best!
Great tutorial 👍. how to get the PDF please
Thanks so much! Please email us using our email in the about section of our channel. I'll send it to you personally.
I just sent you an email. Hope I send it to the right one 😊
@@LukeDeCesare haven’t received anything. Please check again. I can’t put the email in a comment because RUclips blocks it.
Can I change my active units, to decimal inches?
Yes, absolutely. The easiest way is to go to your browser (on the left of the canvas which organizes all your components in your assembly) and just under your primary assembly you’ll see “Document Settings”. Expand that and you’ll then see “Units”. Hover your mouse over it and a little icon will appear to the right of it; right-click it to change active units. A dialog window will appear to which you can change the active unit and even make it the default unit if desired.
Please let us know if you can change it!
Yep but Na.
Mine inches are imperial......0’-1 3/4”
Yours are Decimal inches....1.75
Regards
@@brucelocious Both 1 3/4” and 1.75 are imperial. 1 3/4” is fractional and 1.75 is decimal. Both are acceptable ways of dimensioning.
