Excellent video, i hope see more Plasticity content
More to come!
Great video. Can you do one on 3d printable hinges.
Great suggestion!
That's why I can't give up Fusion360: it's just a thread, it should be easier.
Im sure it will get there. Custom threads in Fusion is a pain, but if you can use the standard ones with the thread tool it is much easier.
Awesome video.... I'm trying to learn 3d modeling to design my own products to print and your videos are a huge help. Is there any way to move an object so it's flush with a plane? I separated the nut from the threaded "container" and one of them was floating when imported into the slicer
Thanks, and yes. When you use move (G) look at the options in the bottom right. Freestyle (F) will let you pick a from and to point to move your object. You can move the nut down to the same plane/point as your container. then you can move it in plane so its next to the container.
please make a one about diffrent conectors for connecting plastic parts, tnx
Do you mean like snapping parts together permanently or just other ways to fasten? I have used printed pins glued in place as well as some dove tail style shapes before.
@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign i need to make service desk, and on the top is one long line where I need to slide diffrent tools, drawers, mounts, and boxes that somehow connect to that line which is on wood plate. I hope that You understand what i tink to say :)
@@IntegraComputers Is the line a slot? and how stable does everything need to be? You could use magnets.
@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign i need something stronger for shelfs and similiar stuff..
@@IntegraComputers The thing that will be tough is going to be strength of the print. Print orientation will play a big part, and how much weight you are trying to hang on them.
Nice.
Thanks!
Can you do a video on user defined threads in Fusion? Finding it so hard to place threads onto a bottle.
Have you tried using coil?
Hey Brian, to make custom threads in Fusion is a bit tricky because the surfaces created have a bunch of divisions in them. You would use the coil tool and i generally do this with a triangular profile to give me an edge since Fusion doesn't have a spiral curve tool. Then you would sweep along that edge. With the sweep tool you usually want to do a guide surface. In the case of a thread it would just be an extruded cylinder.
If you want a traditional 60deg thread you can just use the thread tool. But if you need something a bit more custom there are a few steps to it. I will add it to my list.
This is a really useful tutorial. Thank you so much for putting this together. Print came out great. Definitely need to tinker a bit but you point us in the right direction.
As an idea for future videos, I would love to see your approach on print in place hinges :)
Thanks. I actually printed some hinges yesterday from Plasticity. I generally don't do print in place hinges for more mechanical parts. They work well for this like articulated characters. Ill play with it a bit more and see what i can come up with.
@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Sounds great. Looking forward to see what you come up with!
