Thank you for this video. I’m a real newbie with fusion and find it more “con-fusion”. Your step by step method lets me follow along and achieve the same results. Very much appreciated! Subscription entered as soon as I finished the video. Too often this type of video says things like “just hide the…” or “make the array…” without showing you how. They feel a lot like my old calculus book where they often stated “the proof is left as an exercise for the student”. I wouldn’t need the book if I could do the proof! BTW, it printed without issue. If you change the cover to have a hole, it would also work to capture a nut and make a female rather than male.
Yeah they need to take a page out of Blender’s book - hold down “option” and it’ll detect an edge loop and select them all. Doesn’t seem like that would be too difficult to implement.
Another great tutorial Doug! When you chamfer the plug (20:36), could you invert the chamfer edge to the plug, so it would fit flush on the surface with no gap? Ok I know would then be tough to remove, but just a thought as another option.
Yes, absolutely you can. You could leave those chamfers out and try to get it as snug as possible to try and hide that plug. I come from a woodworking background. In cabinet making, if there’s a seam that’s hard to hide, you actually try and make the seam look like part of the design instead (by chamfering the edges). So that’s what I did here - tried to make the seams look obvious so it looked like part of the design.
Yes, I said that in the beginning of the video - if you have the bolt just measure it. However, not everyone has calipers. I actually didn’t have the bolt when I designed these.
what an amazing video!! and the slicing example and fixing the supports!!! phenomenal. I'm learning a lot from you! thankssssssssss
Thanks man! You are awesome!
Learned in your tutorial more than in 100 other tutorils at all!
Reeealy awesome work!
Thank you. The press/pull tool will be very helpful. I appreciate you showing that tool.
Glad it was helpful!
i'm learning a ton from these! i didnt know about using the combine tool to cut like that. super helpful
yeah, I think "combine" is kind of a weird name for that tool, since it does other things as well
This is an awesome video!!

Thanks for sharing. I'm new to fusion and 3d printing. Picked up a few new concepts from this.
Glad to hear it!
I wish fusion was more consistent when selecting a single edge and auto detection the rest of them.
Great tutorial, thanks

@ShopTherapy623 If i remember correctly, autocad does it with a long hover.... I could be wrong
Great video, thanks for that.
When you insert the polygon at the beginning you can put in the math formula 11.1/2
Ahh yes! I knew that, but my brain wasn’t braining! Great tip!

I would assume if you are making a knob for a hex bolt, you already have the bolt. Why not just measure the bolt?
