Have been going through this whole playlist and it has been very educational at just the right tempo. But my god does it make me happy that you finally switched over to using metric!! One thing I loved about the previous tutorials was that you used drawings for the models. I would watch the entire video and then try to model it all by myself using the drawing. Only if I got stuck I would skip ahead in the video for help.
Thanks so much for your comment. Glad you’ve found our tutorials beneficial. Get ready for a whole new, up-to-date series that goes back and forth between metric and imperial. In the meantime, please keep us posted as to your progress.
Just when I was about to ask about tolerances for 3D printing things that go inside of other things, you addressed it. Never heard of Press Pull before. You are the master.
@@learnitalready Can you help me identify offset problems? Totally unrelated to this video. :) I have a sketch of a simple star shape. When I select all the geometry and click Offset I get "Could not offset curves." No other info. How do I chase this down? Time is money
Started a playlist for your videos that cover paid features. I'll circle back to the Master method once I upgrade. Meanwhile I used this as a start to design a set of seven nesting boxes. Going to get quotes and see about having them 3D printed in all different colors. Should be pretty cool!
Good idea for making a playlist that cover paid features. Also, that sounds like a fun project you’re working on with nested boxes. Hope you get a good quote!
Finally you are using the mm system instead of inches :) Keep them coming, love your videos I see at this moment, this channel has only 1500 subscribers, I am 100% sure if you guys keep up the good work like you do so far, this channel will grow a lot. Just give it some time. Absolutely one if not the bestr channel out there for F360 videos/tutorials. I think there is more and more needs for videos regarding F360 for the 3D printing peeps. There are already millions of designs to print out there, so the next steo is to make your stuff to 3D print, this is what happened to me ;) I am so happy for people like you guys who help us noobs who are still learning.
Thanks so much for the support and encouraging comment. I was going to make a call out during the tutorial for all those who have waited for metric to give a thumbs up but decided not 😆. Hopefully we can keep growing so that we can pursue this more. We posted our first tutorial only a few months ago and it seems like things are progressing very quickly which has been a surprise. Please spread the word about our channel if you’re able. And please stick with us! Thanks again!
You’re most welcome! Just to clarify, I am from Canada which uses the metric system primarily, but also imperial. You will find that our tutorials go back and forth between the two.
@@learnitalready that explains much. 😝 Could be smart not to lean on old fashioned ways to measure. Although I’m an advanced fusion user I can learn new things by you. Thanks.
Lots of similar tutorials, but none of them shows how to cut at angle also the back wall. Would be nice to add that detail. To achieve this there should be one final cut on the back wall from angled face (created by the cut shown in this tutorial) to the other angled face. It does the trick.
Thanks for your comment! Funny enough, I actually added that detail in my first recording of this tutorial and then decided to change it to what I currently have. I’ll try and implement your suggestion in a future tutorial. Thanks again!
Thanks for this. I have a follow-up question regarding the lid design. What do you recommend the best way to keep the lid from sliding forward if ever the box been tilted forward?
You’re most welcome! For me, I would probably make a small bump on the base where it meets the lid (or underside of the lid where it meets the base) to provide a little pressure on the lid. This would prevent it from sliding out for sure. I actually had that design elements in my original tutorial idea but took it out because the tutorial was going to be too long. Thanks for asking about it.
Excellent tutorial. I was working on a design with parts fitting together and this helps a lot. Question: When you export to the 3d printer does the box and lid export together? Can I then move them separately to print? Question 2: How does the logo print out on the 3d printer?
Thanks so much for your comment and support. Here are some answers to your questions: Q: When you export to the 3D printer does the box and lid export together? A: No, you will need to export them as two separate files. Check out our tutorial as to how to do that: th-cam.com/video/B6DW1cMvWS4/w-d-xo.html Q: Can I then move them separately to print? A: Yes, it will explain a little bit in our tutorial how to do that. All slicing software is different, but should be similar enough to replicate what we teach in that tutorial. Q: How does the logo print out on the 3D printer? A: Depends on a number of factors. Try to always printed a logo (I’m assuming that you’ve extruded a sketched logo) on the top face of your body. If you have used a decal as your logo, that is only for rendering purposes and will not be added to your exported body for printing. Hope that helps!
@@SmoothbassmanStudios Thanks so much! What about adding a small sphere outdent on the box and a mating indent on the lid? Would be incredibly easy to model.
Great video but something broke. I added parameters but when I changed the width parameter from 75 to something higher or lower, the lid width stayed the same. The Depth worked OK. I'm not sure that when I started the lid I really inherited the geometry from the face of the box. Is there a setting that controls that? When you tested the parameters you showed only the box and not the lid. However, it did work when you showed various configurations. I did not do the configurations as that appears to be a paid feature. I appreciate any comments you have. Thanks. BTW, I've done a lot of your videos and really have learned a lot. Irv in Florida.
Thanks so much! Don’t worry, oftentimes our model or assembly will break while figuring out parameters, especially late into our design process. Also, in this specific tutorial, parameters will have the same effect as the configurations, because the configurations example is very simple, so all should be good in that regard. Your explanation sounds like something was missed. Again, don’t worry as that sort of thing happens often. I would suggest starting again and check your parameters often throughout the design process. If all parameters work at step 1, then move on to step 2, 3, 4 and so on. If it breaks at a specific step, then you don’t have to start again, but just try me diagnose the error that just happened. Please let me know if that helps. You can also send the file to us so that I can diagnose it. Please don’t forget to like me subscribe (if you haven’t already done so) as it helps to get our channel out into the TH-cam world. Thanks so much!
@@learnitalready Hi... I restarted like you suggested. I think I found my error or the only thing I might have changed. When I projected the 2 insides, I don't think I had the Projection Link checked. I made sure I did and followed the video. After completing the Lid, I added parameters (even before the Joint) for Depth and Width and then checked to create different Widths...Nothing Broke!! Thanks for getting back to me and now I know something else about Fusion 360. Irv in Florida.
@@turnswood amazing! 🤩 Great! I too have had to restart my work again and again sometimes until the workflow is just right and my model doesn’t break. It’s all part of the design process. Glad you stuck it out. Keep up the good work and keep us posted with updates.
Hey there, Great video and thanks! New to fusion. I am making a box that has a curve on the back face when I try to extrude, It either stops on on the one edge or cuts away the face if it goes to the edge of the curve. Is there a fix or way of doing this?
Hello there! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and for thinking this tutorial was great. Regarding your question, can you explain a little more about your current problem please? It’s a little difficult to picture your issue right now. Thanks!
@learnitalready Good morning and thank you for responding! I made a video to help explain my situation th-cam.com/video/maqdXszNd18/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared I have paid just shy of 300 to people to help, and everyone is not using fusion, so I can't edit it afterwards! I just can't sort out how to make it work but there must be a way. Any push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
Hello! Thanks for the comment. Please send us the link to their video. We’ve never seen their video so if it’s the exact model that would be quite unique. Also, which one did you benefit from more? Why? Thanks!
Best f360 videos!
Thanks for your support!
Configurations is cool, but unfortunately it's not included in hobby license.
Hopefully it will be added to all license types in the future.

New Sub! Excellent channel.
Great to learn Parameters and configuration method.
I started learning FreeCad but I am blown away by Fusion360!
Thanks for the comment and for subscribing! Welcome and hope you enjoy our other tutorials too.
Forgot to add the “configuration” feature makes Fusion360 so practical
Very true! It can be extremely time-saving for complex designs as well.
This is awesome! Thank you.
Thanks so much!

@@learnitalready great! Just fired my 3d printer with similar box, will see in the morning if theory works in practice 😎
I think circling back to the beginning and creating a video showing an optimal workload. How to setup components, grouping etc.
That’s a great idea! Thank you. I will try to incorporate that in a future tutorial or tutorials. Thanks for your support.

Amazing video! Now I just need to figure out how to design locking tabs on my lids so they don't slide out.
@@SmoothbassmanStudios Thanks so much! What about adding a small sphere outdent on the box and a mating indent on the lid? Would be incredibly easy to model.
It appears Configurations is not available in the 'free version' yet Or may never be, but that is a game changing feature!
That’s too bad! Hopefully they will add it to all kinds of licenses in the future.
Love iT!!!!

I just updated Fusion 360 and there's no Configure tab. So I guess it's only for paid version.
Store it in your memory bank… you never know what license you’ll have next.
Zee or Zed? 12:45
Eh?
