How to edit Thingiverse files for free (Aug 2021) using Fusion 360 Step-by-Step
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Note: The "merge" tool has been removed from Fusion360. I made this video to show a quick option for most files: www.loom.com/share/ef309e6709...
Also, Fusion360 moved the location of some tools shown in the video. The easiest way to find these tools is to use the search tool shown in this video: www.loom.com/share/f8c24feb30...
This video is a quick and easy method to show anyone how to edit/customize existing 3D print files (.stl files typically) from websites such as thingiverse.com for free.
If you need help or want to discuss more. Please feel free to jump on my discord server: / discord
You can download the files I used as examples in this video using the links below.

Subscribed! I’m fairly new to Fusion 360 and this helped me to speed up a few things.
Thanks, Mark! I feel like I know a Mark Zimmerman, but doubt we have met since I work from home and don't socialize lol Let me know what you're working on or need help with and I will gladly help. You can also join my Discord (I probably check it more than RUclips). Cheers,
Wow ..awesome ...using fusion360 for a while now but didnt know you could change Thingy parts . Very useful for rc applications. Thanks a lot.
You bet Andy. IF you ever have questions or need help. Feel free to reach out on discord (link in the description).
@@jaredhanson9758 Thanks !
Thank you. With these simple instructions, I am able to modify a car remote stl (slightly different open/close button offset).
Glad it helped Eric.
Great tutorial. 😀😀😀 Thanks for making it.
My pleasure 😊
that helped a lot thanks
Glad it helped
Thanks! I just started trying to do this a couple of days ago and could not follow other videos due to the recent changes in Fusion 360. I saved an stl binary and stl ascii and the binary file is much smaller.
Happy to help John. Feel free to send questions, comments, or updates as you get going in this 3D printing space. Discord link in the discription
I normally save as binary too because of the smaller file size.
Thanks for the very informative video. It really helped me.
Maybe a nice future video.... How should the opposite be done? Suppose you have an STL file with countersunk holes in them... How can you easily remove the holes?
Great suggestion! And Fusion is the easiest software to make that happen since you can typically just use the delete key. I show some of that in the personalized Christmas ornament video that will post tomorrow at 12:30pm CDT. Cheers,
thanks,,,,
Glad it helped. Let me know what issues your have next
Thanx.
You're welcome!
Thanks Jared. How would you modify the mesh to increase or decrease the thickness of the plate you just put holes in please?
Hi. This can be done in multiple ways. You can use the "Extrude" or "Push" tools. Please message me on discord (link in the discriptions) with you file and Ill help out.
Hello great vid!
I have a thingiverse model that is split into parts. Is there an easy way to assemble all these parts and make one solid stl?
Do you do commission work?
Thanks Andrew
Hi Andrew, your in luck. There is an easy way to assemble and combine them and I also do commission work. Feel free to use the discord link to reach out and I can show you how. discord.gg/9zvdcWjh
Is the 'Merge' function not available on the free version of Fusion 360? I am following along with the video and can't get the option to appear on the Surface ribbon. Thanks.
Never mind. Found it. It is just not pinned to the ribbon by default. Thanks again for the video.
You bet Darren, feel free to send future questions to my discord to faster response.
what mouse do you use ? i have an imac with tracking pad
For my 2D mouse, I use a logitech M570 since I don't have to slide it. And for my 3D design mouse I use a 3DConnexion mouse. that's how I move around the designs easier. I am too impatient to use a trackpad unfortunately lol
@@jaredhanson9758 thanks for the fast reply
Error: Failed to stitch merge body
still the same ...
Hi Tomasz, If you could send a screenshot of your issue to my discord (link in the description) I would be happy to take a look. Cheers,
Good vid, but my God...how did you make such a quiet video? lol -22.5dB loudness!
Ill tell you what. You tell me and Ill trade you 3-hours of free design work lol Im not a video/audio tech, so thats outside of my profession.
I weird, because it plays on my iPhone well enough.
@@jaredhanson9758 If you haven't figured out yet, here's a tip: Try checking your recording settings and make sure the MIC was configured to pick up from your earphones and not the phone itself. We can hear the clicks pretty well, but your voice is wayyyy too far away, which indicates that the mic that's capturing the audio is not the one you'd expect.
Try it out and let me know how it goes. And no, I won't charge you the 3 hours of design work. Take it as free advice in exchange for you posting such good content online to help us noobies out.
Cheers!
@@digaum Thank you. That makes sense and not something obvious to me. I’ll make sure to check that out next time I have the time to crate some new videos
:-)
Hey Danon, I recognize your profile pic from another video comment. Makes me ponder how to make mine more memorable as well lol
thanks for the video. There is no merge option when I follow these steps.
Thanks for letting me know Coyle. I found that Fusion360 appears to have removed that tool. The show you another method of achieving this, I made the video linked here: Note: The "merge" tool has been removed from Fusion360.

Hope this helps you. Please let me know if you have more questions, and feel free to reach out on Discord for help. Link in the discription.

Glad it helped. Feel free to send any questions you may have via discord or in the comments. Link to discord is in the video notes
@@jaredhanson9758thank you
but why can't the second merge
the second merge always fail😵😵
@@jaredhanson9758 thanks to teacher jarehanson
Convert stl to body, close the timeline, I saw merge, merged some faces successfully, but failed to merge again, can’t do it a second time 🥺🥺, is there any step I’m missing?
@@ever-sd9iz Try clicking the smaller one first. (Seen this in one of his previous videos... Thanks, Jared!)
You really have to work on your audio quality... Your volume is much too low...
Thanks for letting me know.
