  • In this video I use @Autodesk Fusion 360 to design a print in place hinge. Using an Ender 5, I'll print a set of hinges for penny's rather than buy a new cooler or a set of hinges and install them on the broken cooler. You can apply this design for various purposes, it's not limited to breathing new life into old coolers. Think about what projects you might have laying around that could benefit from a little design work and 3D printing.

    A good practical job. The Fusion usage is way better than many tutorials I have struggled with.
    Appreciate what you do.

    I started in 3d printing with freecad and it did most of what I wanted. I tried tinkercad and was just lost. Tried F360 and I felt completely overwhelmed and walked away. Then I found a few great tutorials and began to understand tinkercad. it was so basic and simple I was just over-thinking it. Now I feel like I've progressed enough that I've been thinking of giving F360 another go. This video clinches it for me. Thanks for the inspiration.

      Seriously? That's awesome!!!! I'm glad to have been a part of that decision!!

      @@pushingplastic7445 I agree. I am not a CAD engineer and although I admire your ability and the functionality of Fusion360, 90% of what I design is in TinkerCAD - just wished it had a few more features that Fusion360 has. :)

      @@graphguy TinkerCAD is good program. In my opinion, 3D modeling is about manipulating shapes, no matter what program you use. You can achieve the same results in making a model, the path to get there my be different, but the same results can be achieved.

    Another great basis 360 video. Watching you make things, I’m learning 360’s features that other videos leave out. Thanks and keep up the work!

      Thanks! I wasn't real sure how well these types of videos would go over with the 3D printing community. I have a few other projects I'm working on. I might try to incorporate those into some 360 videos as well! Thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words! They are much appreciated!

    Why buy when you can repair at a fraction of the price. Great job. The next thing is that shotty looking latch! LOL!!

      LOL, One of the dogs got a hold of that latch. I didn't want to make the video any longer by fixing that in the video too! Thanks for watching!

    Absolutely fantastic lesson on using Fusion 360 to create a complex object. 3D printed built-in hinge. I have only had my 3D printer for less than 1 month and this video, and the one you made on making fasteners, are excellent tutorials. Thanks for the extra effort of making the bubbles with the settings on complex items. I've subscribed and can't wait to see what you come up with next. I do have to agree with andyb7754, it's time to make a latch for your cooler. 🙂Maybe you could design one better than the original.

      Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! I used that cooler a few weeks ago on a 10 day trip. Every time I opened it, andyb7754's words came back to mind! I guess I better get to it! Oh yeah, the hinges held up!

    What filament would you use? I printed a hinge with PLA and it came out pretty nice, but durability was not there.

    • @pushingplastic7445
      @pushingplastic7445  ปีที่แล้ว

      The two I put on in the video were PLA. This cooler spends a lot of time outdoors so I'll be re-printing in PETG, maybe ABS. I'm at least going to see how they hold up with PETG first.

      @@pushingplastic7445 @PP thanks for the reply. I have some PLA + spooled up now I will try that before moving on to PETG/ABS. Mine is for a bird house so it doesn't need strength but it does need to withstand 105F in our Sierra Nevada area summers!

      @@pushingplastic7445 Being a noob with fusion 360, isn't there a duplicate/mirror functionality that once you create the hinges on one side you don't have to do the whole process again? Seems like a lot of unnecessary redundant work. In blender I can do this easily, but trying to learn F360. :) I tried the mirror tool and got close but the alignment was off and I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

      @@graphguy If you mirror the ribs from one side to the other, they'll end up on the same knuckle you mirrored them from, just the opposite side. Each of the four knuckles need their own ribs. For example, on the right of the hinge, the ribs should be on knuckles 1 & 3, but on the left side they should be on knuckles 2 & 4. Mirroring the ribs on knuckles 1 & three from the right side would just add ribs to knuckles 1 & 3 on the left side as well.
