I've found that depending on the length & width of the cylinder, that it's necessary to change the number of revolutions in the coil to keep the knurl approximately "square". Thanks for the great tutorial! Much easier than the way that I had tried to do it before.
just designed my first screw spacer for 3d printing or washer idk screw goes into the plastic to give the head a larger diameter acting as a washer i guess. But i managed to make it nice and grippy thanks to this tutorial cheers :D
How can I do a coil outside of the origin? I've seen several tutorials like this (btw, thanks a lot!) but all of them use the origin. I'm working on a design where I need to create a thread with a texture like this in the outside to generate some grip, but I can not replicate this formula having my nut in a place different than the origin
How would you do this on a model that is lofted? For example if you make a bottom circle of 10mm and loft a height of 15 mm to a top circle of 14mm. How do you get it to knurl evenly from the bottom to top?

Thanks for sharing the tip 👍
Great tutorial! You are very good at directions. Thanks, John
Glad it helped 👍
All the success to you and your channel, you deserve it

Sweet, sounds like a fun 3d printing project
Great video, explained very well thank you.
Glad it helped 👍
This video is amazing thank you!

I would like to know this as well!
any ideas on how to do this on a curved slope (conical)
Good question, have to think about it but would try on the surface and maybe trim the longer extruded knurling
If you mirror across the same plane where the spiral starts, you don't need to use an offset construction plane.
Also, huge thanks! This is so much easier than my own solutions, and even produces better results!
Great tip, thanks for sharing with everyone 👍
Glad it helped, hope the project turns out good 👍
@@WhatMakeArt It did! I made a knob for the tip-retention screw of the Pinecil soldering iron.
Thanks!
You are welcome, and thank you !
Super. Danke schön.
Alles arbeiten.
Welcome
Instead of a cylinder, I want a coffee cup shape. So, a smaller circle lofted to a larger circle. How do I make that knurled?
Try making a path that follows the outside contours
You can also select Knurled in appearances and edit the appearance for something quick!
Yes, that is perfect for when you need a quick render, thanks for sharing with everyone
nice! is there any way to make this affect geometry or is it just for rendering?
@hoptoad this is real geometry
@@WhatMakeArt when using "appearance" instead of spiral cutting?
@hoptoad I see if using the appearance then no it is not geometry. But yes that would be cool if it was
Any direction on how to deboss some text on a knurled surface (many faces) I tried selecting all the faces but fusion 360 errored out.
Make ta simpler model that fusion can handle?
mirror feature is inactive whent i try to add it in circular pattern, any clues why this is happening?
Not sure, maybe try to recreate the error with a simple model
How would you do this on a model that is lofted? For example if you make a bottom circle of 10mm and loft a height of 15 mm to a top circle of 14mm. How do you get it to knurl evenly from the bottom to top?
I would try to make the knurl deeper and then make a second loft that is the depth of knurl and do an intersection
it wont let me invert the coil?
Double check the sequence
Is there a way to do something like this to a cubic shape?
Sure, if the paths have right angles
@@WhatMakeArt that sounds... difficult
It might be, I haven't tried it
Thank you like you to do it with a tire
A tire would be a great application of knurled textures in Fusion 360
Epic
👍
My coils will not invert no matter what I do
Hmmm... Maybe start with a new file in Fusion 360?
Yeah, this guide is useless, you can never get the coil to make even contact with the cylinder no matter what you do...
Does it still make the pattern?
You don't know the basics of fusion and it's somehow his fault? Lol 2023.
Nah it works lol git gud
