Not sure if you will see this, but here it goes. You can create another sketch while looking at the part in a side view. Then, you can draw a curved line that intersects the centers of both circles. Then while using the loft tool, you can make it loft along the path you just created. This will give a much smoother transition, similar to that of a pvc 90 fitting.
Also, I find it makes for a much smoother transition on the inside of the part, if you create two different circles on each end, one for the outside diameter, and one for the inside. Then, do two separate lofts, one like you did originally, then another for just the inside profiles. Then you subtract the inside from the outside, and it's done.
If you guys want to make serious suggestions let's talk about the fillet. The way he did it makes a really thin area where the round is closest to the inside edge where the loft ends. It's a better practice to do the fillet first and the shell at the end
Most Fusion 360 videos are information overload. I am glad you are taking this approach and showing a few tools I can practice using without getting overloaded.
That's great to hear! I'm trying to figure out the best approach to showing this stuff. There's a line between too much and too little that I can't quite find.
I'm so glad these "Maker 101" episodes are back! I'm fairly new to 3d printing and these videos help me out a ton in designing. Keep up the good work Bob!
Like a few others down there, I was thinking about the self same project for my belt and disc sander with my brand new CR10, still trying to master fusion 360, these pointers are priceless, thanks a lot, All the best, Cliff
Thanks, Bob. I have 4 tools and not one of them fits a standard hose connection, so my dust collection is near non-existant at the moment. I can't believe I hadn't thought of modelling those connectors and getting them printed on Shapeways or the Like. Thanks again.
BOB! You're blowing my mind here! I sooo need to dive into fusion. And when I do, I'm sure what've you've shown so far will be a huge help! Good on ya! Hoping to catch you this weekend at Maker Faire!
Hey Bob. Love your videos. Just a thought on this. I'm a mechanical engineer and use a program called solidworks. In that program there is a "rib" feature that will add strengthening ribs to the inside of a piece like that really easily. Not sure if fusion has this feature but it would be easy to manually model if not. This would mean you could make it thinner and lighter and easier to fit in place without fear of the tube collapsing.
Great video, as usual. I have just finished a 3D printed dust extraction duct for my bandsaw. As part of my Fusion 360 learning process, I modeled the areas of the bandsaw itself, around the area below the table, and then used the techniques shown in this video to make a duct that snakes around the existing components. Very satisfying, and works very well. Thanks... Liked... Subscribed long ago.
cool if you have all necessary stuff around you :-) I have simular sander and it came without any dust attachment. I'm solution was to build it from scrap wood and it work like a charm:-) Nice video good luck
Thanks for the great video Bob, it was a good speed to cover off the important info without being too long for the fusion part. Plus great to see a practical use for the 3d printer. Bring on more of these vids!
I've 3d printed several different vacuum hose adapters for tools... either I don't use the the printer much or there's a lot of variation in vacuum hoses. I like to print the adapter to be a little tight, and then shape to final fit with a drum sander on the drill press.
Nice job Bob, Solving everyday problems with technology. I really have to get on my fusion 360 more.... I just don't have many things I need to print for myself right now. I should probably make it more of a personal development thing versus an as needed basis.
Please do more videos with fusion 360. I’ve been contemplating getting a 3D Printer for my shop but not sure how to make stuff that’s not on places like thingaverse. I’ve used sketchup but that’s about the only modeling experience I have. So these videos help a lot.
Awesome video! I don't have a 3D printer as of yet but I did recently get Fusion just so I can start learning it and trying my hand at making some basic models. Videos like this I find are great for giving me ideas of new things to try and are part of the reason I got Fusion in the first place.
This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m currently modeling one to be used for the dust collection on my miter saw. I was using the loft tool incorrectly. Thank you for teaching me the proper way!
Great video! Just touching on where you explain that you were using low resolution, the lower resolution (aka, taller layer heights) actually gives you a much stronger build over all, and if you couple that with setting the temp 5-7C higher than usual it will fuse everything into an extremely durable part (even more so with the co-polyester & nylon filaments)
Good information. I've not done anything with Fusion 360 yet, but I'm sure there will come a time that I need to. I will for sure reference this video.
Thank you man!!! You saved my time,almost spent a day to build a pipe for my automatic dog feeder. Litteraly goin crazy with the loft function (first time using Fusion).With yours tips,about 30 seconds!
Hi, Bob! I love your videos and how well they are produced! I also don't care what you design or build, I just find your videos interesting. The first video of yours that I watched was the ridiculous snack machine video and I have been subscribed ever since! You should build a rainwater collector next! You could use it to feed your outdoor sink!
Yay! I didn't think you would reply, but I think a good TH-camr is one that finds time to reply to his or her comments section! At school, I am building a smallish rain collector system with a capacity of about 150 gallons. It was made from things we found around the school, like the PVC tubing cage they used for the haunted house, a pallet from a smart board delivery, and some Ivy rain barrel kits we had in storage. The PVC frame holds up our tarp since we couldn't access the school's downspout. I'm gonna try to post some pictures on google plus My google plus: plus.google.com/+HenrikTechguy
Great video, keep them coming because while I enjoy watching videos about making props and toys with 3D printers, I'm far more likely to use or buy one for practical applications like this.
LOVE it! One ask though. Is there any easy way to make the cut outs that would fit around the "tabs" that some hoses have? For example, a bosche miter saw has two bumps and the hose adapter goes over them and then twists to lock.
I had to do this not that long ago to get my shop vacuum to connect up with my table saw. I printed with an ABS type material so it would hold up better in the shop environment. One thing to measure/experiment with is how long the lip should be on each end to get a good interference fit.
bob this is great, i we use three large bed laser cutters but 3d printers i uslay have trouble thinking of what you could make that would be useful rather than just to make something nice, like a stag head ( Evan & Katelyn style) haha, this really does make a 3d printer more useful, this is what they should be teaching in schools in the uk rather than just how to 3d print nice stuff
hey bob, i have the same belt sander as the one in the video. the main thing i found out after using it is that the sanding belt itself was really bad. (when using it every time my part went over the connection between the two ends of the belt it would bump) you can buy a better one for a couple bucks from china, and be able to sand metal with it.
Very cool, and well explained! I would have loved to see the model being printed and in action while the sander is running. Would have made the video even more satisfying! Other than that, great as usual!
How would you make a cap/case for a more complicated shape? I have some digital calipers that id like to print a case for but have no idea how to get the shape of the callipers accurately into fusion 360.
I really like these videos Bob! If you can do more videos like this that would be great and the 3D printing community is getting bigger so this would help a ton! Thanks if you read this and even respond
Funny enough I found your video while searching for some help with making adapters in Fusion 360. Sure enough, I have the same belt sander and have ran into the same issue myself! By chance would you be willing to share the STL? Thanks!
Nice video, Bob. I've been playing in Tinkercad for super simple things, and OpenSCAD for more complex designs, but I think I might give Fusion a try. A girl at the public library's makerspace uses it and swears by it. That reminds me of an additional tip for your video - if you don't have a 3d printer, check your local library to see if they happen to have one, or if they know of a nearby library that does. Ours has three Polyprinters, and a nearby library has a laser cutter.
Great job. Another thing that can be done, if you have it available, is dual extrusion for the ends. That way you can have the rigid plastic in the middle and the holes can be made out of a rubber filament like ninjaflex. That way it can stretch and make for a good seal. You might also be able to model and custom print a hose if you reverse what I just mentioned.
Hey Bob, what's up? I love your channel and it is amazing, I am a mechanical engineer major and I know about the program SolidWorks, I actually use it at work and at school a lot (it's very similar to Fusion 360). I wanted to know if buying Fusion 360 is affordable for people? I love SolidWorks but I know it runs for a lot of money which makes me unable to afford it. Also how did you learn to use it? Thanks!
So that it doesn't look so rough.. on that loft command i'm pretty sure there is option to give tangent parameter (at least in solidworks there is) it will make connection part look better + make better air flow (not by much) but pretty sure it works fine like that!
Any chance you'll be making this available on your store? I would totally pay you money for one of those. I have that sander, it needs better collection.
Certain ones can be recycled, but it depends on the type of plastic. There are machines that you can build to create new filament from used plastic but they're fairly expensive.
Just a heads up the time code blocks the lower right corner of the thumbnail so you can't read all of the writing, a lot of people call this the dead zone of the thumbnail.
Hey Bob, nice Video, just a quick tip: Maybe use the fillet & chamfer tools before using the shell tool, this way the round or chamferd edges are projected to the inside. :)
Nicely done, Bob! Looks like you already got some great feedback about lofts that follow a path too. These are great little "shorts" - keep up the good work, sir. Sincerely, Tom Z
Good tips but why did you make your adapter fit the outside of your shop vac hose? With it on the outside, doesn't that leave a section at the end of the hose inside the adapter for the dust to collect?
I have that sander and I have that same problem with the dust collection. You just have to realize that anything you buy at HFT, you will need to modify it. Will you sell me one of these adapters?
Can u make a door lock with a keypad? I won't to make one but I don't know how and if u do can you please put a link where u can get them from Australia thanks p.s love your vids man
Just to understand this, is Fusion 360 shareware, in the sense, that the public can download it for free and create stuff? Then after you draw up the specs can I send it to a 3d printer in town?
Does anyone know how to position this part for printing? Would there be overhang problems? I guess external supports would work, but internal could be trouble right? Might be hard to remove internal support or influence the fit?
Just a little trick if you do couplers like these that need to fit real world geometry: Only print the parts of your design that need to fit somewhere first, so you can check your tolerances and make shure you measured and designed it correctly. Once you got these dimensions correct, you can go ahead and print the complete part. Can save you a lot of time and material...
One more thing to consider. I recently just printed a bunch of adapters for various tools for a client, but I printed them from ninja flex. That way, they can 'streach' fit the fittings/hoses much better, and if the shop vac hose gets bumped, or tripped over, the adapter will just bend, and not brake or crack.
Oh, and I just want to add, I've been using SketchUp for many years now (I did my adapters with SketchUp), and I just downloaded fusion 360 yesterday. So I've been looking for videos about fusion. That's how I found your channel. So thanks for the great videos. Keep up the awesome work.
Mornin' Bob! I didn't know you could go back and alter the earlier steps in a model. That would have been really handy for me for a number of prints. I really need to stop being stubborn and say goodbye to 123d design, and hello to Fusion 360.
Yeah, just didn't have one ready for last week. I'm trying to prep them ahead of time, but they're still lowest priority. It worked great after some modifications.. it's just really loud :)
That makes sense. Knife blocks are way cooler anyways! :P I may be biased though. And I'm glad it works, but I meant the Monday video test! Didn't you say it was a month test?
hey Bob, try to put that hose connector in an acetone vapour bath to smooth out the edges and make it look like it was injection moulded. theres tutorials on TH-cam for acetone vapour baths
Not sure if you will see this, but here it goes. You can create another sketch while looking at the part in a side view. Then, you can draw a curved line that intersects the centers of both circles. Then while using the loft tool, you can make it loft along the path you just created. This will give a much smoother transition, similar to that of a pvc 90 fitting.

Then, do two separate lofts, one like you did originally, then another for just the inside profiles. Then you subtract the inside from the outside, and it's done.
That's fantastic info Trent, thank you!! I figured there was a simple way to control the curve shape so that's great to know!, Thank you!
I Like To Make Stuff thanx for another amazing video. i have been subbed since your 15th video.
If you guys want to make serious suggestions let's talk about the fillet. The way he did it makes a really thin area where the round is closest to the inside edge where the loft ends. It's a better practice to do the fillet first and the shell at the end
+I Like To Make Stuff You're welcome, sir. Glad I could be of service.
It makes my day when it's not a Thursday and I see you in my notifications
That's awesome, thanks!
Loving these, Bob. I don't know Fusion yet nor do I do any 3D printing, but it's still interesting to see the process.
Most Fusion 360 videos are information overload. I am glad you are taking this approach and showing a few tools I can practice using without getting overloaded.
That's great to hear! I'm trying to figure out the best approach to showing this stuff. There's a line between too much and too little that I can't quite find.
I dont care what u make. I will always watch it. I'm looking foward to other projects. good luck
Thank you!!
I'm so glad these "Maker 101" episodes are back! I'm fairly new to 3d printing and these videos help me out a ton in designing. Keep up the good work Bob!
That's awesome to hear Jake, thank you!
I got my first 3D printer today. Thanks for showing some more topics. I didn't realize how long it takes to print. Thank you for all the great videos.
i dont care what project you do but i still watch it
i hope you keep up the good work
you shoud do a bow and arrow
Thanks so much! That's very kind!
Like a few others down there, I was thinking about the self same project for my belt and disc sander with my brand new CR10, still trying to master fusion 360, these pointers are priceless, thanks a lot,

Thank you, Wolverine! Straight to the point, clear, and short.
I swear, everytime I want to sleep you put out a vid.
Haha, same thing in Japan, - 1 h though :)
NZ 2am here

Crazy how timezones work.

BOB! You're blowing my mind here! I sooo need to dive into fusion. And when I do, I'm sure what've you've shown so far will be a huge help! Good on ya! Hoping to catch you this weekend at Maker Faire!
This was perfect, Bob - a quick hit with some new techniques that were explained, and fills a need. Bravo!
Thanks Bill!

Excellent job on this one-
The in-depth coverage of the software, as well as an excellent real world example is ideal.
So clear and exactly what I was looking to learn. I'm modeling and 3d printing a new intake tube for a 28 year old ATV.
nice one. Learned something new today. Thanks bud
Nice job Bob, Solving everyday problems with technology. I really have to get on my fusion 360 more.... I just don't have many things I need to print for myself right now. I should probably make it more of a personal development thing versus an as needed basis.

me and my mom watches your videos every weekend!
Awesome!
a very simple project but looking so good with details and your explanation
Thanks Brock!
Very cool, thanks for answering our requests on exploring a bit more fusion360!

adapter for the dryer vent. I wrestled a flexible metal one for an hour yesterday!
Helpful video. I like the real world application and initial version with proposed changes. Thank you
ANYTHING Fusion 360 is an awesome video! I'm just getting in to modeling and it is so much fun!
Thanks so much! Have fun with it!!
Simple video but informative. Nice one Bob.
Thanks Jedidiah!
belt sanders are tough... did it improve the dust collection much?
This was basically the only way I could collect any dust from it, so yeah, it was better :)
hey bob, i have the same belt sander as the one in the video. the main thing i found out after using it is that the sanding belt itself was really bad. (when using it every time my part went over the connection between the two ends of the belt it would bump) you can buy a better one for a couple bucks from china, and be able to sand metal with it.
Very cool, and well explained! I would have loved to see the model being printed and in action while the sander is running. Would have made the video even more satisfying! Other than that, great as usual!
Yeah, somehow I lost the timelapse of the print :/ You're right though, I definitely should have included it in use. Next time for sure!
i don't care what your video its about y watch it!! love you vida!!
How would you make a cap/case for a more complicated shape? I have some digital calipers that id like to print a case for but have no idea how to get the shape of the callipers accurately into fusion 360.
Such an awesome video i especially love the videos like this. Love these little videos you are doing lately. Keep up the good work man!
I really like these videos Bob! If you can do more videos like this that would be great and the 3D printing community is getting bigger so this would help a ton! Thanks if you read this and even respond
Good tutorial... how many revisions total did you make? I had to make a new battery cover for my mouse, took me about 10 tries until I was happy 🤓👍
I did one before I recorded it to remember the steps, then did the two I mentioned in this video :) Definitely could use a few more passes though.
Great quick tutorial. This makes it looks almost easy.
Awesome video! Does it still whistle?
Funny enough I found your video while searching for some help with making adapters in Fusion 360. Sure enough, I have the same belt sander and have ran into the same issue myself! By chance would you be willing to share the STL? Thanks!
Nice video, Bob. I've been playing in Tinkercad for super simple things, and OpenSCAD for more complex designs, but I think I might give Fusion a try. A girl at the public library's makerspace uses it and swears by it. That reminds me of an additional tip for your video - if you don't have a 3d printer, check your local library to see if they happen to have one, or if they know of a nearby library that does. Ours has three Polyprinters, and a nearby library has a laser cutter.
Have the same sander, central machinery, right? This video will definitely help me a lot!
Yes!
This is an excellent idea Bob! I also need one of these. Why no "real world" test to show the improved dust collection?
Awesome video thanks for taking the time and effort to post, out of curiosity how strong is 3D printed material compared to pvc pipe fitting?
PVC would be considerably stronger simply because of the material type. Some 3d printed items like Nylon are much stronger than what I have here.
Which 3d printer do you recommend? Does the machine come with cutting software? Fusion is purchased sesperately ?
Great job.
Another thing that can be done, if you have it available, is dual extrusion for the ends. That way you can have the rigid plastic in the middle and the holes can be made out of a rubber filament like ninjaflex. That way it can stretch and make for a good seal.
You might also be able to model and custom print a hose if you reverse what I just mentioned.
That's a great idea!
Also the print lines could work in your favor, actually gripping the ports.
Great presentation Bob! I refrain from presenting F360 projects because it's though to make it translate to video (for me).
Hey Bob, what's up?
I love your channel and it is amazing, I am a mechanical engineer major and I know about the program SolidWorks, I actually use it at work and at school a lot (it's very similar to Fusion 360). I wanted to know if buying Fusion 360 is affordable for people? I love SolidWorks but I know it runs for a lot of money which makes me unable to afford it. Also how did you learn to use it? Thanks!
hi
what 3d printer would you recomend?
thanks in advance
So that it doesn't look so rough.. on that loft command i'm pretty sure there is option to give tangent parameter (at least in solidworks there is) it will make connection part look better + make better air flow (not by much) but pretty sure it works fine like that!
That's awesome! I am in the film industry or at least starting to get involved. How can I make a realistic gun prop?
Check out some of the modeling/prop videos from Bill at Punished Props. He models some amazing space guns from reference material.
Great! I'll check them out. Thanks.
Any chance you'll be making this available on your store? I would totally pay you money for one of those. I have that sander, it needs better collection.
Hey bob I think a good project would be to do a list of the tools to start a wood shop.
Excellent solution !!
Thanks for the clear explanation!
Greetings from Argentina
just got my anet a8 I just need to finish hooking up the mother board. can't wait to print some stuff
I watch you from Slovakia 😄
Hey, so if a project doesn't go the way you wanted, what do you do with the 3-D printed thing? Do you recycle it to make filament?
Certain ones can be recycled, but it depends on the type of plastic. There are machines that you can build to create new filament from used plastic but they're fairly expensive.
Just a heads up the time code blocks the lower right corner of the thumbnail so you can't read all of the writing, a lot of people call this the dead zone of the thumbnail.
Excellent point. Thanks!
Hey Bob, what brand of 3D printer are you using?
Hey Bob,
nice Video, just a quick tip:
Maybe use the fillet & chamfer tools before using the shell tool, this way the round or chamferd edges are projected to the inside. :)
Also, you can construct 3 or 4 cuts into the overlapping parts, so you can tighten it with a hose clamp to stay on the nozzle. :)
Nicely done, Bob! Looks like you already got some great feedback about lofts that follow a path too. These are great little "shorts" - keep up the good work, sir.
Sincerely,
Tom Z
Thanks Tom!
Love the channel, actually created something simple in Fusion 360 for a friend to print (he adjusted it slightly) and it came out great!
That's awesome! Thanks!
Good tips but why did you make your adapter fit the outside of your shop vac hose? With it on the outside, doesn't that leave a section at the end of the hose inside the adapter for the dust to collect?
The suction is plenty to pull anything from that 16th" edge on the inside.
do a video about your 3d printer, as a product design student im thinking of buying one for rapid prototyping, and tips would be helpful
I have that sander and I have that same problem with the dust collection. You just have to realize that anything you buy at HFT, you will need to modify it.
Will you sell me one of these adapters?
Can u make a door lock with a keypad? I won't to make one but I don't know how and if u do can you please put a link where u can get them from Australia thanks p.s love your vids man
Just to understand this, is Fusion 360 shareware, in the sense, that the public can download it for free and create stuff? Then after you draw up the specs can I send it to a 3d printer in town?
Really cool video Bob. Have you ever tried Rhinoceros? I feel like it does the same but it is easier to use.
Loving the Flynn lives shirt bob!
Get Picciuto to review it...his Rockler Dust Right® Universal Small Port Hose Kit review was pretty rad.
Nice upgrade
Does anyone know how to position this part for printing? Would there be overhang problems? I guess external supports would work, but internal could be trouble right? Might be hard to remove internal support or influence the fit?
Just a little trick if you do couplers like these that need to fit real world geometry: Only print the parts of your design that need to fit somewhere first, so you can check your tolerances and make shure you measured and designed it correctly. Once you got these dimensions correct, you can go ahead and print the complete part. Can save you a lot of time and material...
One more thing to consider. I recently just printed a bunch of adapters for various tools for a client, but I printed them from ninja flex. That way, they can 'streach' fit the fittings/hoses much better, and if the shop vac hose gets bumped, or tripped over, the adapter will just bend, and not brake or crack.
Good call!
Oh, and I just want to add, I've been using SketchUp for many years now (I did my adapters with SketchUp), and I just downloaded fusion 360 yesterday. So I've been looking for videos about fusion. That's how I found your channel. So thanks for the great videos. Keep up the awesome work.
do you still use the dust collection system with the keypad or was that a flop
Mornin' Bob!
I didn't know you could go back and alter the earlier steps in a model. That would have been really handy for me for a number of prints.
I really need to stop being stubborn and say goodbye to 123d design, and hello to Fusion 360.
Yeah man.. it's unbelievably powerful once you get used to it!
It looks really powerful.
You are overpowering my stubbornness haha. I will have to get it.
Hi! I'm not Bob and I don't know how to make stuff, so I just watch other people make them!
Are you able to print PVC? I think it would be pretty cool if you could print your own pipe fittings if they don't manufacture the one you need.
Glad to see a Monday video! Did you skip last week? I thought they were done.
Anyways, how did the test go?
Yeah, just didn't have one ready for last week. I'm trying to prep them ahead of time, but they're still lowest priority.
It worked great after some modifications.. it's just really loud :)
That makes sense. Knife blocks are way cooler anyways! :P I may be biased though.
And I'm glad it works, but I meant the Monday video test! Didn't you say it was a month test?
Interesting bits about Fusion 360 in this one! Definitely looking forward to more uses of it in the future.
Can you do a tutorial on making one of those keyboard racks that go under a desk
hey Bob, try to put that hose connector in an acetone vapour bath to smooth out the edges and make it look like it was injection moulded. theres tutorials on TH-cam for acetone vapour baths
Hey Vance. That works for ABS plastic but this was printed in PLA.
can you do the same with inventor autodesk ?? (i learn it in school)
Arthur VandeVoorde it's basically the same. Fusion was made from inventor
Thanks for this... just what I was looking for... I saved about 2 hours of my life
