Super helpful!

I understand offsetting the shaft, however why do you need to offset the adjacent face? If the shaft clears wouldn’t the lid close anyway? It seems like it’s just closing .4mm lower. Someone help me understand.

Will try to apply this to blender and tinkercad.

This is not a good approach. There is the "Press Pull" option that allows you to simply select faces and specify how much you want to them pushed in or out.

Thank you for the informative, concise explanation.

That video is awesome.

Hey this is a great video! I am now designing a computer chassis in Fusion 360. I have studied this "tolerence" topic before and I found that the "transitional" tolerence of my Bambu Lab X1C printer (with PETG material and 0.4 Nozzle) is 0.3mm. So I created a "Tol" (tolerence) parameter in my Fusion 360. I added/subtrcted this "Tol" to the dimension when I design something like dovetail connection of two boards. So my questions are: 1) Is my way of resovling the tolerence issue like above right? If yes then I am going to do this to every part of the components where I see there is tolerence issue. Correct? 2) I know that there is setting in printer called "Horizontal expansion" (Cura) or "X-Y hole compensation" (Bambu). Should I use them to resolve the tolerence issue instead of doing it in Fusion like #1 above? 3) If I want to share the STEP file with others (not the Fusion file) should I put a note there and tell the user the tolerence setting I have so that the user can adust on their own? Sorry for many questions above. 🙂 Appreciate your time and effort!

Nice Video. I just started to use Fusion 360, before I was using FreeCad which seems much more complex and less pleasant. I think it easier to us "Press Pull" feature on selected walls to adjust clearance/tolerance instead of doing offset on sketch.

I have resisted dedicated vcarve cnc software because of the price. Having student version of Fusion I am going to master the learning curve thanks to you. I appreciate the examples and have subscribed. Happy Friday!!

Can you provide files to follow along?

Instead of doing all those projections and such, can't you just simply extrude 0.4mm from each side needed for a tight fit without having to do all that complex stuff?

Many thanks for this upload, most of my CAM experience has been based on heights. I didn’t realise the manual control of heights seems to cause more problems that solves when using V-Carve. I’ve been pulling my hair out for days with Fusion 360’s workflow with regard to engraving CAD and CAM. Really pleased to have found this video, your explanations and clear communication was spot on. Many thanks.

I liked your video, problem I have is your way too fast.

Finally a Fusion 360 constraints video I actually understand.... Aligning things in Fusion 360 has always a problem for me until now... Thank you!

Really good content and pace. Showed me exactly what I needed to know to get a project done. Thanks!

While things do change over time, when I drew a rectangle by choosing an upper left and lower right, my rectangle was already constrained. I could not click on an edge and alter its size or shape. Is this due to a change in Fusion, or might I have a setting different from yours? My rectangle edges are all light blue. And after adding a dimension to the horizontal and vertical edges, my colors remain the lighter blue with no highlight due to hovering but only by selecting a line after selecting the dimension tool does it change to the darker blue. v2.0.18460

thank you. What tolerance values would you use if you are just making a model to sell the stl to others? If you don't know what printer they are using is there a basic tolerance value we should use?

Thanks for this video. Does a new block need to be printed for a 0.2mm nozzle and a 0.4mm nozzle?

Been 3d printing for a few years and this is the best explanation I've seen on the topic. Great stuff, subbed and will be learning more from you.

this is criminally underrated, superb video. appreciate your help on my project :)

You're amazing. Great video, thank you!!!

What is the command in Fusion 360 to do this? I can't find a v-carve command. Thanks

If only I had professors like you in college.

Converting the bodies to components would make it much easier to see the different sections in the section analysis.

It could be explained in 2 minutes not 17 :D

Hi! I followed this tutorial but ended up drawing my own shape in Fusion for my test. It worked wonderfully so thank you! I've tried again using the SVG files after converting them from Procreate but I cannot for the life of me get it to do the project stage. Can you offer any advice?

Brilliant guide, not just about carving with F360 but about carving in general. Well done and thank you!

Printing a fit block is a good starting point. However, there are few variables that this video/lesson does not address! In addition to different materials (PLA, PETG, ABS ... ) and nozzle sizes, there are a few more factors that come into play! Shrinkage is one of your biggest variable and it is highly dependent on the amount of material deposited. 20% fill will have considerably less shrinking than 100% fill. Along these lines, large and thick parts will shrink more than small parts. Bottom line here is that it takes time and many tries to get a good idea how your parts come out of the printer. I use calipers to measure the difference between design vs printed dimension. You can quickly create a table (or graph) that will show the relationship between %fill, size, print temperature and so forth. With the exception of all the fast moving and zooming, this is a well put together instruction video. Thank you for sharing!

Isn't the offset making the gap double in your test block? I mean, when you offset a certain amount 0.5 for instance, aren't you making a 1 clearance. 0.5 on each side?

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for this!!

Would you chamfer the edges for wood working?

The simple act of combining move and scale into one operation would be a game changer. Just like inserting an svg... but for everything.

Why not set the z axis up? in the preferences is an option about halfway on the first page to switch to z-up, Especially handy for 3d printing.

One question: why not use the center rectangle ? And for the rest just a big compliment on this tutorial Big thumbs up and subscribe

It's a good tutorial! Only thing I see that might be a problem is that your slots are perpendicular to your rails. When you mount them at an angle to each other on the back plate, your wrenches won't go in. They need to be cut from a sketch that parallel to the long axis of the, for example, a midplane. Or you have to oversize the slot so the wrench fits in cockeyed. Thanks for the tutorial!

The parameters for the transition fit are related to nozzle size. In general if using a .2mm nozzle, you’ll use a .2mm transition parameter. A .4mm nozzle = .4mm transition, and you can see the pattern thus forth.

Expansion or contraction in 3D printing is related to your nozzle size (among other things). A good rule of thumb for a .4mm nozzle is to allow for a .4mm expansion of material.

Wow! You are a very good teacher. You’re good at simplifying the complicated. Thank you for this!!

My brother in law is a PhD Structural Engineer and used to be a college professor. Other than his lesson on this subject, you’re the first content creator in this space who correctly explains these concept in an easy to follow way. Thank you. Thumbs up and subscribed.

Dawg, bless you, more people need to see this

One thing to not is that 3d printing has a smaller deviation in the vertical direction than horizontal

Really helpful - thank you.

This is a great resource for makers like myself who aren’t engineers by trade. Thank you for sharing! 🍻

Tool "bits" 😂🤣

i literally paid a high price for a class that was supposed to teach me this and by the end it was SO confusing. i also screen recorded my lesson and somehow i now can not find it!!! lol so upset!!! you saved the day thank you so much!!! i dont make cookie cutters but i do make something similar and you were super helpful , thank you so so much!!

Great thanks, I'm working with the same project type the final topic answers my project. I began ordering tools prior to learning the difficulties can't wait to edit my Man. and add a 2D Pocket..... :)

Great video, thanks 👍

Can I get a copy of your Key Sketch to practice with?

Can we get this model or do we have to create it ourselves. This doesn't seem to be a tutorial on the model but more of an educational on the principle. I would love to have the model to print out on my resin printer to see what mine is as I have no idea and I think I've been butting my head up against this already and just was aware of it. Thanks in advance. 🙂Thomas over at The Model Hobbyist

@practicalalchemy407 need more vids man! Your so knowledgeable with Fusion360
