Create Custom Wrench Racks Using Fusion 360 - For 3D Print or CNC - Shop Org. Series - CAD Tutorial

In this episode I show you how to 3D Model a wrench rack in Fusion 360.
This tutorial focuses on using geometric constraints to drive multiple parametric sketches.

Don't stop, your videos are great!!!

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!

Hey AJ! Appreciate the comment! You are correct, in order for the rack to work the way that I designed it you do have to oversize the slots. In my 1st round prototype I had a much tighter fit but found that it didn’t like it for my use case… I prefer to be able to easily ‘grab and go’ when the rack is hanging on the wall vs having a bit of resistance. But that’s all personal preference! In terms of the cut axis, I wanted the design to be easy to print or CNC without undercuts or draft so perpendicular made the most sense but you are absolutely right! If you want a really bespoke design you could extrude the cuts at an angle. This is actually a great example for ‘design tradeoffs’ (production speed vs. wrench fit accuracy)… I think you’ve given me a good idea for a follow up vid! Thanks! :)
