You are awesome! You and Joel (3D printing Nerd) are super knowledgeable and I love watch your videos! Keep up the great work mate!
Thanks man! Joel is the best :P
Wow dude. Torturing 3d printers, and now, giving us a window into the torture of a dragon mother... :)
Great video, thanks. Every extra walkthru you do in Fusion 360 helps.
F360 Tip: click the "U" shaped arrow next to tools you use regularly in the drop-down menus to add to tool ribbon.
Great tip, thanks James!
ah!!! super stoked. making a 3d printing channel soon!!! #makermovement #yourmyinspiration #makersmuse
+localinventor nice man! Good luck !
Just can't wait to get the original prusa i3 Mk2S i ordered a month ago. Thanks for helping me learn Fusion 360 while I'm waiting! 👍
I can't believe how easy was. Amazing software and amazing explanation!
Thanks!
Fantastic Angus! You really do create some awesome models, then teach us newbies how. What more could we ask.
You'll be at 100k in no time mate.
Another really cool print & tutorial!
Brilliant video as always mate! Love it!
Thank you so much Angus for another great F360 video, i learned a lot and will design my own dragon egg today in the evening!
Great Video, Angus. Thank you.
THANKS MAN!
I would love to see more like this :)
Oh my god it looks so cute!!! God I'd kill to own a 3D printer for this stuff...
Cute!? Haha
Maker's Muse dude it makes the perfect cosplay prop for a ton of different costumes! Hell a few adjustments and ya got some creepy shadow ball stuff going on (and of course a different filament)
kristofer tea
its not that hard. the hard part is learning what you need and how / where to get it. Then gaining the experience of how to design and work with plastic.
If you have a local electronic wastes center, you could get a lot of the components for the printer very cheap. And if you can get someone to print you a few parts you could use ptfe bushings and save in bearings plus it will be a lot quieter or have a few pullies printed and use that along any belt you may find (mxl, t2,5, etc) and also save in belts and pullies.
Found you from Joel the 3D Printing Nerd. Great channel, great tips.
Awesome tutorial Angus! Hopefully Georgie doesn't try to sit on the egg I may print...I ain't picking spikes out of his feathery butt!
Nice! That is neat.
I've waited all night for this! Not really, but awesome design Angus!
Happy future Easter mate!
cool stuff Angus
Thank you for the tutorial.
One could say it was a CADbury egg............hehe
thanks for the tips
Great stuff, would love to see a tutorial on creating a complex 2D sketch, using the features that make it easier to do accurate complicated drawings to then extrude.
Hey Angus Happy Easter in advance!
Thanks! Happy Easter to you too!
hi!! I will watch this as my easter because I can't afford one lol 💚💚💚 I love your videos!!
Hi Angus, nice video
"You may want a pointy tip on your egg" Dam right I do! :)
That's an EGGcellent model :)
Got me interested at playing with more fusion ;)
wtf? you can taper an extrude? BEST DISCOVERY EVER(atleast in my misirable life)
+RUWO gaming haha it is pretty handy!
Nicely done. I'm wondering if I could use this method to add realistic fish scales to my 3d printed fishing lures? Any tips?
good
hey angus, the blue color isn't changing with me so i went to the preferences but couldn't find what u said to tick probably due to updates. So what to do ? btw you are amazing ! thanks for helping us.
Had no idea what was going on. I have to go watch fusion videos.
dragon moms have it rough
That poor dragon giving birth to that thing
zman1508 it probably comes in an outer egg shell and then hatches to reveal the inner egg.
zman1508
my thoughts exactly.
Depends what way it is going.
That was my first thougth watching this video.... LOL, now dragons doesnt exist anymore... that could be the reason.. ROFL
Actually with the direction the spines are facing it wouldnt be too bad. Think of it like a hedgehog.
So im still new to the 3d printing scene,, if i run out of spool in the middle of a print is there a way to salvage the print or is it best to start again?
That egg looks amazing, im gonna get some made for my boys 😃
THE ROGUE I would suggest to not let it run out of filament. Instead, change it right before the motor pushes the last bit through. Most printers should have an option to change filaments. I know some printers will let you restart printing where it left off, but I think you kin of have to guess where it stopped printing. Hope that helps
Can you do a tutorial for F360 doing assemblies?
I've been trying unsuccessfully to make my plane at a different angle on the path. Is there a way to do this so that the plane is close to flat or say rotated around 10 deg as it would be seen from the middle of the side. Does that make sense to you? it didn't seem hard to describe until I started typing lol
I would like to see an assembly. Specificly, I would like to see a Delta printer which you can "assemble" in 3D so you can move it around with your mouse.
I'm totally going to print these to hide for Ari haha.
Very cool video Muse, I have a question though. Could you show how to make the diamonds staggered? Like every other diamond was shifted the 'empty' rows between the current ones? That would make it look more like dragon/fish scales.
spysee fan I I understand what you mean correctly, why not make 2 of the paths going up next to each other, each offset and with half as many objects/spikes on them, then rotate that around?
I got a question : Can you test a to print a pla object and dip it into a acetone + abs "slur", then make it dry and vapor acetone on it to see if it smooth and have a better heat handle ? I think its a good way, saw some theory on forums but i dont have abs at home ( mine can only print pla ).
+Nobock there's a product called plastidip that does a similar thing, worth trying!
I hypothesize that PLA prints will still heat-warp easily even if you coat them over. Whether you can smooth them like that at least? I have no idea. I expect that as liquid gains surface tension by drying from outside in, it will bridge over the layer gap and it will come out smooth, so you wouldn't need to acetone-smooth it.
I don't think PlastiDip is suitable, or does anything alike. I recall it's a naturally colourless elastomer (Shore 70A) that doesn't really stick to anything particularly well, in a volatile solvent.
last week i painted a jewl with graffity paint and apply a coat with nail polish it start to make the paint bleed after 5 sec and it smooth it very nice. But if you go too slow you got some blobs.
Could you make one in flexible material? Instantly thought of dragonegg stress ball.lol
Hi Angus, do you have an all metal hot end on your wanhao i3? I'm debating whether to get one or not and was just wondering if you'd recommend it? Cheers
The Chanceinator If you're not wanting to print filament that needs temperatures above 250c, then there's not much to be gained.
Could you do some reviews on free software that are available? To give us a pro and con of the ones we should try out for those who are unable to afford these larger name brands? Much like blender and other programs?
Fusion 360 is free for education or startups, just choose which at the end of the trial period.
Thank you! I was thinking of some other ones as well in case some may like other programs to try but isn't sure about it?
amonkeht hype train
nice vid tho
A tutorial suggestion- how to create a drill bit in fusion 360
Do we need support printing that?
Hey, did you print this with any supports? it doesnt look like it. I have the makers muse .16 cura profile currently. Couldnt find this answer anywhere, thank you.
The singular of axes is axis.
dual print it, with the core in one color and the spikes in another one.
I use spline all the time
Would've been cool to print the egg in two parts with a keyed connection for a full egg. Or even do the same thing but with the egg split vertically into two halves, which might be easier on the printer for complex shapes.
Would also be cool to introduce spiral patterning, instead of just vertical patters, or maybe even do horizontal patterns.
+Xander Zoolander gotta keep the cad for newbies tutes simple, but more advanced ones coming for sure including threads and multi component modelling
It needs to be hollow and and have a split to remove the top 1/3 with a easy attach and remove mechanisms between top and bottom (maybe twist to release). Then you could fill it with "dragon" candy or sweets.. Even cooler if it was made with two materials, the egg in solid and the spikes in a flexible material.. And maybe slightly transparent....
Take it as a challenge if you will..
If I could afford a 3D printer I know I would try to make one just to see if I could (but my money is gone due to long term sickness), but one day...
extremely tired and late notification squad! 4 am here what time is it for everyone else
+Project Pegasus good morning! It's 8pm I'm Sydney
not sure if the 2019 version follows different rules or if i'm just a spud, but my pattern along path falls inside the projected path sketch, even with path direction selected. I'm lost, have watched this 20 times but cant find what i'm doing wrong
If you used the CAD to make a little tomb for the print then you'd have a CAD-buried egg
A really nice tutorial! Thank Angus, I'm going to create my own today :)
Why don't you include the creation of a hexagonal pattern into one of your next tutorials?! I'm trying to cover a plane with hexagons spaced out little, kind of like honey combs. But I feel it's harder with hexagon than with squared... That'd be nice ;)
+Chris definitely possible but a little challenging! You need to create a linear pattern, then another but at a 45 degree angle using one of the hex edges as a guide, then you can linear pattern the whole lot to fill an area.
Thanks for the quick respond! That's kind of what I tried but it olny gave me two linear patterns, not the whole area... will keep trying after the easter monster egg :D
@4:46 i dont seem to have activate.... what am i doing wrong?
I am trying to download the files, and it says they are not for sale yet.
Something is wrong with gumroad, it was laggy earlier and now It just hangs for me, sorry! Will try fix in the morning.
It's easter 2017. The Zergs have overrun Australia, even the kangaroos did not stand a chance. The Zergs are learning to swim now, so the rest of the world is basically doomed :D
Philipp Thiele The drop bears will take care of the poor little Zergs...
First !!!!!- Hello Angus! :D
Mr. Sileniu first like
Hey hey!
I also have a round bottom...
but how would we do so that the repetitions are scaled to a greater or least :( ...
What does it mean when a print curls up midway through(not a problem with bed adhesion) I am using hatchbox abs by the way thanks in advance
Curling off the bed or curling from the piece, like the edge printing doesn't lay flat on the last layer?
so its a 45 degree overhang and each time it lifts up a bit higher but bed adhesion is perfectly fine
What temp are you printing at? I've noticed my hatchbox likes around 210.
I use 225 with the hatchbox abs
Oh. I'm using PLA. ABS does have shrink problems outside of an enclosure. Got it enclosed?
Sooo... after changing the orientation from identical to Path direction, my bodies are still floating about 20mm above the actual path... did i miss something? (instead of a diamond shape, i used a circle of 10mm diameter, extruded with a 45° taper angle if that makes a difference. Otherwise i followed step by step.)
+therealpanse make sure your plane allows them to intersect the path, try tweaking both of those and it should work!
they definitely do intersect, the center of the circle is right on the intersecting path... Guess I'll play around a bit more. If i cant get it to work, I'll try with 123D or onshape... maybe those will get me closer to the one I have in mind.
oh... and thanks for the quick response
Hi angus
Hey William!
Maker's Muse you are my favourite 3d printing youtuber
+William Nixon thanks man! Happy Printing!
Your welcome, you deserve it!!! Keep up the good work Angus.
Maker's Muse nice
3d print the masamune~
what, like the curry? :O
the sword the masamune its so like your name
hmmm.. I can't checkout on that gumroad thing with PayPal. It tells me that it is not for sale... :'(
Gumroad had issues, try now! :)
Huh. Easter durian.
I like the game of thrones eggs better they are more "realistic" in a way, and cooler looking
the poor dragon that had to lay that egg
actually, the mother wouldn't touch the sharp spikes because of the angle now if they were facing down ouch no more babies for that dragon
Any idea how to install Fusion on Win 7 ?
+bbogdanmircea as per normal? I had no issues on my rig
Maker's Muse I get an error about operating system maybe they don't support Win 7 ?
bbogdanmircea Is it a 32bit version of Windows 7?
(Fusion 360 only supports 64bit Windows)
I recently downloaded Fusion 360 but never used it Iam just used to Sketchup that much that I dont want to switch to another Program somehow :/
I liked the new one better because it looks more like a Dragon Egg :P
+xXTeslaXx agreed, its got scales! I love fusion but it did have a learning curve which is why I started the tutorials
I don't know how anybody gets anything with fine detail to print correctly from Sketchup. I created a hex screen pattern for the base of a simple 150x100mm tray and sketchup wouldn't output a printable stl. I went back to fusion 360 and never looked back. I have had not problems with it. It does have a long learning curve but, to me, it is an investment. I lost three weeks of heavy time investment in Sketchup before I realized it was doomed. As I said, I don't know how people are getting away with Sketchup when it failed one of my earliest designs.
I use the Solid Inspector2 extension by ThomThom. It finds reversed faces, unconnected lines, and holes in the mesh.
One problem I had was I would save something as a component, and it was fine - printed Ok after using ThomThom's extension. The next time I used the component it was full of faults - that was when I bailed on SU. I think the interface is user friendly, I had a steady rate of progress learning the system as it is heavily supported on youtube, but that kind of error was too much to accept.
Your parents should have named you Kobe..... get it, beef
where is the file for the egg from last year
+glen simons link to it should still be available on that video
I think it is but the link didn't work when I tried it, I will try again though just to be sure. I may have tried it from my tablet
this should be a bad dragon toy made from silicon
Because dragons have as much to do with Easter as rabbits that lay eggs.
wait.....isnt easter a week from now?
Yes, so now you have time to get printing :)
its a pinecone
or more like cactus
Those poor 3D Printing Chickens who´ll have to lay those spiky eggs...
Lots of info here, but you're going waaay too fast.
And on the second rectangle co-incident... I constantly get an error? Maybe it was another constraint?
Thanks for this though.. I hope for more.
Cheers,
- Eddy
Update, on the 2nd co-incident... I figured out it was the _line itself_ (constraining rectangle vertex) that was the reference. The first one was the line _vertex_ constraining the rectangle vertex.
That lack of an orthographic view is making me nauseous =P
glad Im not a dragon if thats what they poop out...
I'm new here and what is this nerd doing with geometry?
Everything is dildo if you're brave enough
looks like a cactus
Pretty good way to model a cactus too! Just make it less egg shaped.
yea make it a cactus shape :)
btw 2 days to see you comment sheesh 0_0
