The is the BEST of the Lightbox tutorials I have watched (and I've watched a LOT of them). Thank you for the in-depth and detailed step-by-step instructions!
I make multi color prints with Fusion and two Ender 3 pros using Orca slicer. Workflow is about the same. However, I make my extrusions into separate components instead of bodies and then I just export as individual STL files. (I usually do single color files as 3MF files.( Then I can stack them in Orca, choose my colors per object, slice and send to the printer. Of course I have to do manual filament changes, and my process is slower, but just want others to know that these boxes are possible on all sorts of machines, not just Bambu printers. I also run klipper on my printer, so my print times are faster than a stock Ender. I am going to be upgrading to a Bambu printer at some point this year, but it is good to know that making the change from the the Ender machines will just make this process painless as I know a lot about troubleshooting and fixing prints already due to the nature of the Creality machines. I appreciate the video on your workflow!
I build my stuff as separate components and import them as one model with separate parts in Orca. The I assign filaments to each component. Orca sets thebgcode for filament changes and I just do then when the machine pauses. I run klipper, so my pause macronis set uonto move my toolhead to.make tge changes easier. I put in the new color and hit resume. It's time consuming because I have to do it multiple times per layer, depending on the amount of colors and thickness of the components.
He Dude, Thanks for sharing, your tutorial was easy to follow, matched exactly my demand and steps to take in Fusion and Bambu - Again thanks a lot for Sharing!
You should consider putting the "*color* folder" bodies into a component instead of a folder. Then, export as a .step file to keep maximum quality and you can more easily keep them together.
Question: How can we create this in Fusion in a way that it will open in Bambu Studio "face down"? The design I just created via your instructions (great instructions!) has to be rotated 180 degrees in Bambu Studio to get the colors down on to the build plate. Thanks very much.
you could just do all of the numbers in positives. So instead of doing a -40mm offset you would do a 40mm offset for the back plate. You will just have to move your camera around to the other side of the model. Thank you and im glad you enjoyed the video!
I've watched many and this is by far the best instructions yet. Well paced and narrated. I am however an old dog trying to learn a new trick and sadly I am hitting a hurdle I can't figure out. Are you available to hire as an instructor to help me understand a little clearer?
thanks but it is not the blue lines I am looking to highlight it is the whole section where after you get the outline done with the dots then there should be a whole blue thicker line in between when clicked it is not showing up
if I could add a picture I can show you what I mean it is still not working and I am doing exactly what the man is saying I have tried at least 20 times now do you know if it is because I am using the 30 day free trial?? do I not get all the features??
@@simplybabette fusion doesn’t have a 30 day free trial. You just choose the hobbyist and use it free with limited active ( 10 active editable designs at any time ) all other features are active. With one caveat simulation and AI generative designs. To select all the lines hold left mouse button drag a box over all the lines you wish to select. If this selects more lines than you want; hold shift and click the ones you don’t want you can also hold shift and just click each line you want.
@@simplybabette Sorry for the late reply but are you doing two sketches or one sketch? It is hard to tell what youre talking about without seeing. I do have a discord discord.gg/mYAxZjB5
Amazing!! Thank you. I have seen SO many videos on this, and most assume the viewer knows fusion and all its features. Thank you for explaining things. I do like how you create the back and sides better than other videos I have seen. Question. What do you think is better? joining the front to the sides with a back plate? Or joining the sides to the back with a front plate? I have seen it both ways but not sure which is better. Thanks.👊
Hey thanks for the kind words! I did a lot of tier 1 and tier 2 support so I never want to assume what other people’s skill levels are 😊 I believe joining the front with the sides to the backplate is solid as it hides any creases that would show up front if it was displayed. This way the product has a full body until the back instead of seeing the two parts right after the face.
nice video. one quick question: how you select all at once outlines ? when I'm trying to set offset I must select a lot off small outlines around the model... ?
Josh -- great tutorial --- however i am stuck on the Extrude -40 , 2 -- yes -- that is as far as i have gotten after countless hours of trying to figure out what on earth is wrong with this SVG. I had others look at the SVG and tell me it is fine. I found a couple of lines i had to delete -- but still coming up with 2 errors for some reason. Is there a program or something that i could put the SVG in to help me find what is causing the errors?
Thanks for this great tutorial, but I have one problem! I have made 2 lightboxes now and they have both little slots between 2 colors when it is printed. Is there any solution for? (I print with a bambu x1 carbon) I have put 2 photo's below.
Every time I try to convert a PNG to an SVG, I’m always having issues with the letters or images being closed. In other words, the letters or object parts bleed into other areas. I am not sure what this issue is called nor how to fix it. Like your video but I can’t get to make it work because the initial SVG has issues.
Hi I am hitting you up lol I am so confused in this it seems my fusion is backwards you say negative mine wants a positive number then I go to make the little rim and in between the lines does not highlight I get 3 black lines with the dots then try to click inside of them and nothing no highlight how is that happening?? help! I need 1 on 1 help I have tried a few different videos and just can not get this help!
2:18 you mist have changed the export Z axis at someone point, because by default the “front” plane is exported as the Z axis. Why it’s like that I do not know, but that’s the default and has been for over a decade.
Hi Josh thanks for the detailed and great fusion 360 video.. I really got your style of work best of all the videos I have watched so far. I would love to join your discord may I have an invite please... :)

Hey thank you and also thank you for that information! I hope everyone that has this question on how to do it on a non bambu printer.
Hey ther i dont have an AMS system yet and was wondering if you could show me your technique

Excellent video! Thanks for all the tips. Love the organization and shortcuts too

If you select the bounding boxe lines and just change them to the dotted Contructuon lines, they won't be able to accidentally extrude 😁👍

Absolutely! If there’s something else I should cover please let me know!
Amazing upload. I watched others but you really dove deep into the process and made it very clear on creating an accurate light box design!
I appreciate the kind words! I love teaching and know not everyone learns the same way.

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you!!
12:28 if you hold shift while clicking ( not in the extrude ) you can select multiple object/sketch lines
True! But if you are already in the extrude command then you wont have to shift click :)
thanks but it is not the blue lines I am looking to highlight it is the whole section where after you get the outline done with the dots then there should be a whole blue thicker line in between when clicked it is not showing up

Best instructions so far. Thanks

@@Josh-fp9nc You bet!! And yeah, that is good point!!! 👍
I have small circles through my outline so there will be a bunch of retractions on the first few layers that have the image. How can I fix that?

double click. if you have more than one hold shift

Did you ever figure out how to fix it.

The pictures are not showing up for me. It could be you need to up your first layer flow rate a bit. Are they big lines?

Great video
Thank you!
very nice.
Every time I try to print my front plate , all the pieces fall apart . How can I go about solving this ?
Does that happen when you select Split to Object ?
How come you have 8 colours on your Bambu?
How do you make the face thicker?
2:18 you mist have changed the export Z axis at someone point, because by default the “front” plane is exported as the Z axis. Why it’s like that I do not know, but that’s the default and has been for over a decade.
Im not sure if I did as I wouldnt know how to do that, is there a way to change it back?
Merci beaucoup, je vais essayer votre méthode 🙂
Thanks for this video ! I make my box 🙏🫡
Oh heck ya man!
Can you make key chains? Flat color please like names o image and name 🙏please
Like a video to do it? or you need me to make some for you?
Let’s see the wiring of this project please?
Hi! I just uploaded a short 1 min video on how my lights are rigged up. Let me know if that helps you at all!
