Much easier to zero on the hole diameter and use the other side of the calipers to measure the hole to hole (outer edge to outer edge). Same concept but you can skip finding the screws.
To get rid of that roughness on the overhang replace the big fillet with a 45 degree chamfer and then smooth the transitions with fillets. Looks almost identical but without the roughness-inducing overhang angle.
I love chamfers for sidelining supports while getting great print quality. Fillets are great but fall short on larger diameters just before and through midarc. Like you said, round out chamfered edges with fillets and you get a decent compromise on the overhang where gravity works against printing.
Long time listener, first time caller. I'm self taught in F360. Spring of 2020 was when I first picked it up, and I'm always learning new things. This one video had me swearing out loud over how simple you did some of the things I go through significant effort to complete. Extrude from surface/object from a single sketch? No thank you. I'll just create a new sketch on that surface and copy/paste the edges into the new sketch. Holes? Edit the original sketch and draw a circle. Then extrude through it. Doing things the stupid way all this time, and you just blew my mind. I love your videos, your voice is great for voiceover work, your knowledge is next level, and your sense of humor is akin to mine. If I wasn't already subscribed, I'd subscribe again.
I agree, ive been going the long way around to produce easy things, now I've learned a few tricks here it will save me hours and clean up my confusing time line. Lol. Do more of these pls.👍😎🇬🇧
yes, this video is really well made, he made a red one with PLA is just perfect to show it for the video work, i am sure he has already made the black PC one way before hand, so he is solving multiple problem in one go. really really smart, and respect him.
This is class, being able to see the whole process from idea, to CAD model, through to the slicer and out of the 3D printer. Cannot tell you how long I've been waiting for someone to show the entire thing from start to finish. Nice office, too.
I'd recommend adding in all fundemental features (holes included) prior to applying fillets so you can roll back all of those curvy features to make modifications to core geometry and add in new features after the fact with ease. Modeling on complex and curved surfaces causes lots of unnecessary difficulty especially on more complex parts.
Adding the holes before the fillets would probably prevent the filet tool to work properly. Worth a try but sometimes it is a bit difficult to make it work on complex geometries.
I think he chose his order of features very carefully there. Large fillets like that can be VERY ornery in fusion. Sometimes the fillet edge can hit the border of another feature (like a hole) and the operation fails there.
James, thank you so much for your F360 tutorials! Your tuts are not only useful items but your teaching/illustration style is some of the best. Please keep ‘em coming.
I've never seen "tutorials" abbreviated to "tuts" before. Thanks for sharing that. However, my brain wants to say "tuts" aloud as "tuhts." So a "tuh-torial" just sounds off to me. The think of the word as being pronounced "too-tor-e-als" so that instantly compelled me to want to abbreviate to "toots" but I don't how well that would be recieved by others. This english language sure is something, ain't it? Sorry for the lengthy reply. 😁
@@glenj.taylor2938 Yes, the language is something! I would normally type things out instead of using contractions, especially when it's likely a lesser known contraction. I guess I'm just getting lazy in this age of text messaging and typing with my thumbs!
This is quite a coincidence. I just designed my own headphones hanger for the exact same reasons approximately two weeks ago. My initial design idea was extremely similar to yours, including screw placement. I instead went with a boxier design where both screws go through the back behind the headphones at a slight downward angle, and I left a hole in the front of the hanger to pass a screwdriver through for the bottom screw. My headphones have a fairly large pad, so I made the front wall fairly tall to hold the plastic part in. My design is symmetrical, and I had wanted more curvature like yours, but some thin areas of the print made filleting hard. I still got some rounding on all the edges of course. The interesting and challenging part of my design is that my headphones are flat one the front of the band and have a curve like a banana on the back side. So I wanted the back of my holder to be flat and the front to match the curvature of the band. I wasn't sure how to accomplish this, so I actually dabbled with 3D sketching in Fusion 360 for the first time. There were definitely some interesting challenges with it. I learned a lot. Ended up using the surface modeling features of Fusion a lot where I would create a shape completely from sketch lines in 3D including curved lines and then patch them until there were no holes. I then had to use the stitch command to make it into a solid object like usual. I learned some nifty tricks from your vid I def could have used too. Thanks!
I love how your content is so varied. I have a huge problem with floating between interests in the shop, and your channel having a nice mix of topics is such a nice thing to look forward to every weekend.
I really appreciate all of the CAD content. I don't use Fusion, because of the rapacious pricing, but the great thing about all parametric CAD packages is that, if you can use one, you can use any of them with minimal effort. I can translate your design process and intent into the package I use with no problem, and I've learned a ton in the process. Thanks!

"One weird trick". This has got to be my most despised phrase! Glad to see you were just making fun! Love your videos! Wish I knew 1/100th about Fusion 360 as you!
I audibly signed at the "one weird trick" part but I knew you wouldn't let me down. Oddly enough, I learned more from your other tips than your mention of the fillet tool. Calculating the distance 1:40 - 2:07 for example. TOTALLY makes sense but..for someone who is a "learn as you go" kind of engineer...well...these things don't just come to you. All that being said. Thanks for the video hopefully I can find a way this knowledge on!
I'm sure youve done a few since this video. But watching you step by step in Fusion was an eye opener for me. I had no idea about the hole tool. Please use this format as much as you can in the future.
Very good video, I have learnt a little more as I have just started with Fusion 360 and my Bambu printer. I bought it to print deck fittings for my 1/10 scale model of a Venice water taxi and so far the drawing/design and printing is going well but always keen to learn more. Cheers Ian, New Zealand
Smooth curves are exactly what I need to work on in fusion 360. Perfect timing for me. Thanks love the videos and how you show the CAD to the parts you make.
As a self taught (stumbling) Fusion user, your videos teach me along with pushing me to continue my quest of learning the software…thank you for sharing
As someone who is looking to get into Fusion, this is stellar on the detail. I love you clear you made it and I can’t wait to expand my skills using this as a learning tool. I can’t thank you enough for how great this is.
Wow, been using Fusion 360 for the last few years and I learnt so many tricks by just watching this short 15 minute walkthrough. I have found ways to get Fusion to eventually do what I wanted but now with some of these steps I will be able to do it more easily. New subscriber!!
Kudos for explaining in simpler terms how to smooth rough prints, also the clearence option for metric holes in fusion is amazing, i didn't knew you could do that, just impressive how knowing to properly use the tools can make 3D modelling so fast.
as a novice, it's really cool watching some of these things that probably seem so simple to you. i didn't even know about the point option, much less the m6 pre-cuts for hole. thanks for the tips you didn't know you were providing in this video!
I've been using fusion for about 4 years purely as a hobbyist, and you've taught me two things here that I wasn't aware of, the hole tool for screw sizes and with space for the bolt head!!, how have I missed that. And also extrude from body, that will save me extruding 100mm then cutting 95mm ! Thank you!
WHAT A NICE TUTO! I´m a beginer in fusion and 3D stuffs, your video was so clear and simple that inrpiring me to move on. I was a little demotivated, must confess. Thank you!
I’ve been using fusion for years and only know I’m learning about the Hole feature ! (And also the trick with the calipers!!) Crazy content, thank you !
Thank you! This gives me a little bit of extra context for what I'm trying to do. My plan is to design an ergonomic cyclic grip for use in helicopter simulation. However, I still feel like I might have to start with clay and a 3D scanner to get a shape that feels good to hold. Hmm!
Awesome...Ive been himming and hawwing for months now, I might just have to break down and order the Bambu carbon, the parts are beautiful. Youre the first guy who has actually added the printer screen to the video, love it. Thank you.
As a relative noobie to fusion 360, this is gold dust! Thank you 😊. Ive just designed my own, by using your excellent info... similar idea, but with a horizontal mounting bar, as its going into the edge of a 1" thick desktop.
Nice tutorial. I'm a caveman when it comes to Fusion...brute force, multiple sketches, etc. I don't know 99% of the techniques you used here. I could have gotten this with 3 or 4 different sketches, and about 8 hours. Honestly, I'd LOVE many many more of these Fusion vids! You do a much better job of explaining things than most of the "Tutorial" vids, even those that are "For absolute beginners" because those tend to be "well, you already know 3D modeling, we'll skip all of that and model this Jet Turbine, and since everything is intuitively obvious, you just use the 300 tools we've never discussed and look at that, Robert is your mother's brother, it's done!". Sorry, way too many of these "tutorials" are exactly like that. I've used your tool holder video techniques so many times now. LOVE it...simple, a bit time consuming, and a bit tedious, but it just works! :) Thanks James!
I've been using fusion for about a year now, and I always learn something new every time I watch someone else use it. I have never used the hole tool for making screw holes. I can't imagine how many hours I've wasted by manually countersinking holes and making chamfers in them.
Right away, 1:48 I learned something super useful that I never considered. Maybe I need to watch a "how to use calipers" tool because there are probably lots of things I hadn't considered.
Thanks for sharing this. Fusion to me is like when I learned Photoshop so long ago. Nothing is really _hard_ but it isn't exactly intuitive either what tools to use when. I've enjoyed all your videos for what you make but I've especially enjoyed when you take the time to work through your Fusion design process. Thanks again.
Would love to hear the story behind those original printer names! (Despair, Distress, Fear, Loathing) 😅 Thanks for the amazing little guide too! Just starting out with Fusion and your walkthrough helped click some important mindset changes in, coming from a Blender workflow. 💪
James, another thank you! I just used this tutorial to make my own headphone hook, although with a different mounting method. Your video made it all make sense and I've learned some valuable new Fusion techniques. Please keep this type of content coming.
Looking good, James. I would probably use a contrasting color for the hanger just so it is visible enough that you won’t miss it when placing the headphones in their home, but since this is a daily use for you after a week you probably won’t even look at it when storing/retrieving the headphones.
this was so informative. and perfect timing considering i've just designed a headphone hanger with much more rudimentary skills lol. upping the gameeeee
That looks really nice James. Just one tip from me, you can switch your 3d mouse into a 2d mouse for sketches, I find it a lot easier to look straight on a sketch. I use one of the two custom buttons to switch from 3d to 2d.
Get rid of that seam, when ther is no need for it by disabeling (Z hob) "retract when layer change" in Printer settings under Extruder. You'll only have seams that make sense from there on.. switching between models for example Cheers and thank you for the spot on tutorial!
Nice to watch people design a functional part. Fusion (with the name change this is going to make searching a pain), is agonizing to get right, when you do.. its simple. But it take practice. And thats why its nice to watch someone finish a part, the build guitars are great as well.
13:50 you could consider printing parts left and right on the build plate if there is space to pre-long the carbon rods. Not sure it’s necessary but it will not hurt doing so. I am doing it with my X1C just in case.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to see your method and also which mice you like to use when in Fusion360. I learned a few things from your concise tutorial even tho I’ve been using it for 2 years.
Thanks James. These practical tutorials are perfectly edited and are such a joy to watch and learn from. I always pick up at least one trick I didn’t know, and every time that new trick is another game changer for me in my designs. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
7:10 holy crap I didn't know you could do that. I've been either drawing multiple sketches (when I didn't need to), or projecting geometry onto a new sketch.
Use the adaptive layer height to get the next level of curve smoothness. That also helps on the overhang side too. Did you also have the same type of overhang artifacts with the X1C too?
Nice video. Given my prototypes aren’t always too perfect, I’ve learned not to take the time to put all of the chamfers and fillets into it because I have to often back them out in order to make substantive changes to the body. So I usually print the first prototype with some, very perpendicular corners, etc..
James, when you are not busy we must get together and do a Vulcan Mind Mold, so I can obtain your CAD and Engineering knowledge. I'm a 65-year-old electronics tech(ret) and would love to do high-tech engineering stuff like you do. I was born too soon. Keep up the great videos I really enjoy them.🔫
I’ve been using calipers for 15 years and never thought about zero’ing the diameters of the pin to get on-center distance 😳 Nice trick
I feel dumb. Its obvious, super useful, yet I never even considered it using zero for anything other than closed positioning.
I must only find the zero button on my manual/analog calipers, now! 🤔
was going to say the same thing I feel like a caliper wizard now
Yep, I've got a set of those calipers too. Now I can get inaccuracy to three decimal places! "Looks about 15 to me. I'll use that."
Much easier to zero on the hole diameter and use the other side of the calipers to measure the hole to hole (outer edge to outer edge). Same concept but you can skip finding the screws.
To get rid of that roughness on the overhang replace the big fillet with a 45 degree chamfer and then smooth the transitions with fillets. Looks almost identical but without the roughness-inducing overhang angle.
WOah that is a great trick!
This is great! I had to ask ChatGPT to help me understanding it, but now everything is clear!
I love chamfers for sidelining supports while getting great print quality. Fillets are great but fall short on larger diameters just before and through midarc. Like you said, round out chamfered edges with fillets and you get a decent compromise on the overhang where gravity works against printing.

Great Video, made one as well but using double sided tape and centered the bracket.
You're abilities with Fusion 360 where I hope to be one day, great video!
you make it look so easy. thank you!
Thank you James, for another outstanding video. Your instructional style is excellent-Thank you✅👍
Thank you for turning on my lights in my apartment :D
working on a project that i could not figure out how to put some radiuses in to thanks for the insight.
13:50 you could consider printing parts left and right on the build plate if there is space to pre-long the carbon rods.
Not sure it’s necessary but it will not hurt doing so. I am doing it with my X1C just in case.
Great trick on the center finding
Thank you for this! Love this content!
Great video. Try selecting G2 for the fillet type and you should get even smoother looking curves.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to see your method and also which mice you like to use when in Fusion360. I learned a few things from your concise tutorial even tho I’ve been using it for 2 years.
Its a space mouse
Thanks James. These practical tutorials are perfectly edited and are such a joy to watch and learn from. I always pick up at least one trick I didn’t know, and every time that new trick is another game changer for me in my designs. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
More Fusion 360 Videos Please! Excellent Learning Video.
Really love the Fusion 360 tutorial vids! I’ve learned a lot from these. TY
Love this kind of content
Beyerdynamics, nice. I had a pair of those for my office.
7:10 holy crap I didn't know you could do that. I've been either drawing multiple sketches (when I didn't need to), or projecting geometry onto a new sketch.
You can also construct another offset plane and extrude from there.
Excellent video, thank you.
I picked up a couple little tricks, much appreciated!
Thanks for this video, I'm a beginner designing things, best.
Thanks, I love your F360 videos, they really help me understand it better.
Beyerdynamic DT-990 headphones, my favorite!😺
Use the adaptive layer height to get the next level of curve smoothness. That also helps on the overhang side too. Did you also have the same type of overhang artifacts with the X1C too?
Thanks for having your 'assistant' turn on my lights too 😂😂😂...
brilliant caliper trick!
that bambulab mouse design is soo good. just printed it too ❤
Greetings from Argentina, congratulations for the videos
13:33 the printer names are phenomenal lol. I did a double-take and rewound
Great tutorial! Learned a few new things to try. Thanks for sharing!
This was fantastic, some great tip and tricks here
I, a FreeCAD user, almost shed tears watching all those fillets actually work.
Nice video. Given my prototypes aren’t always too perfect, I’ve learned not to take the time to put all of the chamfers and fillets into it because I have to often back them out in order to make substantive changes to the body. So I usually print the first prototype with some, very perpendicular corners, etc..
Amazing job!
James, when you are not busy we must get together and do a Vulcan Mind Mold, so I can obtain your CAD and Engineering knowledge. I'm a 65-year-old electronics tech(ret) and would love to do high-tech engineering stuff like you do. I was born too soon. Keep up the great videos I really enjoy them.🔫
