On the last step ( the 2 distance chamfer) I am getting an error that the chamfer cannot be created at the requested size. The most it will allow is 1.7 mm, rather than 3mm and 5mm as you did
I also had the same issue, but his blue arrow was pointing right, and mine was pointing along the edge of the helix (at 7:29), and mine was pointing towards the helix. I clicked on the flip button and it worked as it did in the video.
You may have put the rectangle facing down rather than up. edit the initial rectangle sketch starting at the origin and drawing to the right and up. Then correct the sweep in the parametric timeline to complete.
For those people getting an error when trying to do the sweep at the 05.41 mark even after changing the operation to 'JOIN' from 'CUT' I found I got around this by editing my pipe via the Parametric Timeline to increase it's diametre from 38mm to 39mm. The error message I had previously got said F360 may require bodies to overlap to enable the sweep to work hence my idea to increase the pipe size.
this is great I'm learning a bunch. I went back to the sketch, just before the loft and I projected the face of the shaft and then extended the line against the shaft farther along the shaft circumstance but touching. I then created a fillet from this line to the top of the blade profile, and trimmed the bit below the filet within the sketch so it was a single defined sketch. This automatically lofted the fillet along the blade path.
Solved it a few seconds after posting: Make sure you have "finished sketch" before trying the above, for some reason this is not available if you are still in sketching mode.
@@maciejjabonski833 there are lots of things like that which he glosses over. I guess it's a tricky balance of not getting excessively detailed about mouse clicks while also providing information.
@@maciejjabonski833 I've had this happen several times. Where I didn't click ok in a dialog box or finish sketch because it wasn't specifically mentioned.

I'm missing less and less and catching things not always mentioned much quicker than day 2 or 3.
Thank you a lot of times I assume it’s because it’s been months and we are now using a new version of fusion, glad to see it’s also that I’m impatient and sloppy. Comments like yours are so important to bridge the gaps for myself and other newbies, again Thank you.
The chamfer for me worked backwards! Instead of selecting 3 mm and 5 mm, I had to select 5 mm and 3 mm! Not sure why it worked that way for me, but if I did it the other way I got an error!
When you just start making the lines in the beginning of the video make sure you click the mouse to continue making the lines in one go, DON'T press enter or you won't see that lock screen.
Ugh! Just did this one yesterday with the old interface. :) Oh well, I guess I'll do it again today, I was mostly successful, I think just the cone failed on the other one. Also want to say how much I enjoy this course! I have a new Prusa MK4 kit on order but won't be here for several weeks. With your help I'm confidant I will be printing my own designs on day one! And night one. And probably the wee early hours of day 2......
@@ProductDesignOnline I would love to buy you a coffee. I was sure I saw a link for coffee/pizza the other day but now I can't find it, do you still have that? I may sign up for content later but I wanted to do something to show support now.
Great tutorial. I believe we needed to select guided surface for sweeping the rectangle for the software to know how the swept object needs to adjust its angle being always perpendicular to the center of the core ones being swept. Otherwise it will try to keep it parallel which ends up in the geometry collision. Is that correct?
I do not have the "remove" command available. I read up in it but it was beyond my understanding at this point but referenced "direct mode" and "timeline mode" although it seems like I should have it in the menu since I am in timeline mode? This particular class had been confusing. I can follow along but do not "understand" or comprehend why I'm doing it.
The loft command at the end is very tricky. I had some problems projecting the bottom of the pipe to the point. It seemed like a piece of the coil helix was sticking through the bottom. Could you do the loft earlier in the process? At any rate I figured it out after a while. Thank you again!
I had trouble too but when i created a sketch at the bottom of the pipe and project the inner and outer circles (turns red) then lofted it all worked. You are correct the blade was in the way.
Weird I wasn't caught by the loft error... which I think is a good thing? I just don't really understand why tho cause I followed every step carefully 😂
Good catch! It won't much in this case. If the part were to get moved around or moved into another assembly file then it could throw a reference error. In which case, you can 'redefine sketch plane' and select the correct/desired plane.
Thank you for this explanation. How can you best print this out in prucaslicer. I am unable to print the first layer properly after a support. The first layer on top of the support is very rough. This doesn't look pretty. Can you help me.
I managed to complete this, but really, not. When I created the rectangle on the "plane to path" to sweep the blades I just couldn't get the sketch to fully constrain (i.e. there was no red lock symbol on the sketch item). The rectangle had the parallel constraints ok; entering the dimensions, the yellow lock symbol appeared. But the rectangle stayed resolutely blue no matter how many times I rewound the timeline , deleted actions, started again etc. The only difference I noticed was that when you were doing this, your origin point seemed to be at the end of the coil (i.e. your green Y axis ran up the outside of the pipe and the red axis horizontal away from the coil end (on mine those axes were through the middle of the pipe and just below the coil end - thus the rectangle "hovered" just above that red axis mark because the coil end was just above it.) Any idea why I couldn't get that sketch fully constrained?
When I try to remove the coil from bodies it is completely gone and I am not left with that pink line as you did in the video to use the "plane along path" feature. I don't know if this requires an update or if I am doing something wrong.
Thank you. Great tutorial as usual. But I came across and issue that I also noticed in this video. When I choose pipe command, if I want to make distance less than 1 (like, 0.8), the pipe starts from the TOP towards the bottom of the referenced line. If I assume I want the pipe to be 80% starting from bottom to top, this is something that I couldn't achieve and I couldn't find out how it can be done. Pipe command doesn't allow to select start/end points. I tried to select reference line from different locations (either sides or the middle) and it always shows that I can slide the arrow of the distance only from the bottom to the top (shortening the pipe and removing parts on it at the bottom). I hope my concern is clear enough so someone can help addressing as I couldn't find a way online to change or control this behavior of pipe command.
@@ProductDesignOnline I think it has not to do with the last feature. I tried to go back step by step, and I found that I have made the rectangle you made at 4:50 in the other side of X axis (do not know why, it wass pretty late at night! :P ). I remade everything from that step on, and everything went smoothly! thanks for your imediate response though!
Great course but the champfer in the end caused anger issues until I realised in the comments, that you have to mark the edge only. I guess 3D modelling is not for unpatiened people...
If you are having trouble with the remove feature, you can’t remove bodies while editing a sketch
I was wondering about this, Thanks!

Cant wait for assembly tutorial. Been working in solidworks and cant figure out fusion assembly
The "remove" option does not appear to be there, only the "delete" when right clinking on a body, at 3:59

You have to click "finish the sketch" after clicking 'ok' on the project command's box.

Will it be also the day 13, 14, to 30 ?
When trying the Chamfer getting error: The fillet/chamfer could not created at the requested size......
Uncheck the "chain faces" option and see what it let's you select.
Does it highlight any parts in red?

There's no way for additional control with the Pipe command. In a scenario like you describe, you'll want to use a regular Extrude of a circle.
@@ProductDesignOnline Thank you for your response. Yes. Actually I used Extrude to accomplish what I wanted as you described.
There was no need to chamfer in the end. It was ready to go. Any idea why this happened?
