Another great snap-fit tutorial. The only thing(s) I would suggest for a final product case would be some kind of registration marks to line up the extrusions with the slots, and some kind of slot for a coin or something to help pop the case free. Loved the tutorial... learned so much from you!
To create these triangles I would add a right angle constraint and drag the point around. To get chamfers on the end then instead of sweeping a triangle draw a rectangle onto the side face and extrude it with a -45 taper angle.
It would be helpful if there was keystroke labels popping up when you press shortcuts or command keys. Sometimes I get lost wondering how that window appeared or what key you pressed to make that thing happen.
I was able to get the Draft feature mentioned in the video to work by defining a "Plane at Angle" at each endpoint of the sweep. I could then choose a flat plane and a face (edge of the "nub") to angle the edge in by 45 degrees. Great video!
Thanks for great tutorial, i use revolve instead of sweep, 45 degrees on dimension tools for the triangles, rectangular pattern for the knobs, and combine cut for the lid, and last press pull on the knobs in the lid + the gap
There is a fast solution to creating the triangle, if you use the create edge polygon option, which by default will give you a six sided poly. You can drop in 3 sides when creating to make a perfect triangle. The only issue is that all three sides are the same length and constrained as such, so you can't dimension the height independently. If you don't care about that and just want a fast "perfect" triangle to use as your sweep, this method works pretty well.
Hi Noe, I know this was about 4 months ago. For a triangle you can do a 3 sided Edge polygon. Also the Change Parameters box allows you to modify the dimension defined parameters into the user named parameters. In Change Parameters open up Case or Cover and Select the Sketch you need to change. Select Sketch1, Expression value for d1 and change it to your user parameter. ie: 50mm change to width. Clear as Mud?? Thanks for great Videos Rick
I haven't create a bunch of cases but you could create the bottom case with clip (I like the sweep approach) and then use a combine to make the clip cavity in the top case. Once you get that, could you use the pull/push tool to create the cavity offset? From there, you can so the shell and mirror/copy along path to make the tabs across the rest of the case.
Thanks very much for this. I hope that you are still monitoring comments. I am new to this and printing only with the PLA which came with my Prusa printer. It seems pretty brittle to me. Very little give. Very unforgiving. So ... what type of filament would you suggest to print something like this? Thanks!
I suspect the tall wall bends outward to let the lid's nub pass. It does seem like it would take a lot of force to open. I'm in the midst of redesigning a snap-fit box that snaps closed just fine, but needs a screwdriver to pry it open - oops.
You said a half is 0.5 and a half of a half is 0.05 I'm afraid that is in correct. A half of a half is a quarter which is 0.25 0.05 is a 20th or 1/20 as a fraction =)

Excellent in so many ways!
This is exactly what I needed! Thanks for this and the other video!

Very, very useful and an excellent tutorial, thank you.
You can use the "edge polygon" tool to create a perfect triangle.

Hi Noe! That's pretty cool! Thanks for sharing the technique.
How about combine and cut to get the recesses in the cover?

Also seems like a good way to create a lens cap maybe.
Could you do a tutorial on a snap hinge on a circular object... For example a round locket?
Use equal length on the two edges to make a perfect triangle.
Nice !! I love that ! Very smart.
How gona make the snap (negative draft) from the closed part.
I noticed you ended up with a tolerance between the nub and the nub hole. How was that done automatically?
It's like shaking my beliefs. Fusion360 is way faster than Solidworks to create the same design. This is the first time I've seen Fusion360.
For creating a triangle could you not do an equal command of the two edges that are the same length?
Yeah that would also work instead of the construction line. It would be the same number of steps.
@@spencerh9421 When I try it, it moves one of the sides and not just the tip of the triangle.
Is this file available for download anywhere?
Would that actually snap without breaking? 11:48

why is the color bars in the parametric timeline?
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Thank you!
it would be nice to see it printed. 😀
Nice
Apparently half of a half is 0.05 ;)
You said a half is 0.5 and a half of a half is 0.05
I'm afraid that is in correct. A half of a half is a quarter which is 0.25
0.05 is a 20th or 1/20 as a fraction =)
You could have just booleaned it
