G+_Bob Shields Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This looks promising! I've been trying to design (and 3D print) a "project box". How hard can a box with a lid and a couple funny shaped holes be? Does a 7mm switch fit in a 7mm hole? (Not always...). Does the parameterization I learned from a different series work? (No - he parameterized the outside of the box, not the volume which must contain a fixed-size power supply.) In short, I spent over 40 hours struggling with Fusion 360 (and design/printing flubs). It's time I take a course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rickbearcat Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 This program looks very useful once you get some experience in navigating around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 Rickbearcat Yes and it is free in some circumstances. I have been trying to learn the ins and outs of this program for about a year. Also I use it to generate files for printing on my Prusa 3D printer.

G+_Rickbearcat Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Rud Dog It is a shame it is taking so long to learn. But I suppose that is the worth that it brings to the table for being such a powerful program. The best of luck to you in getting this down pat and creating some amazing future things.

G+_Bob Shields Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 So far, I've created a holder for a 16-pixel ring. Today: LEDs, tomorrow: the world! > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Peach Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I went through the "Learn Fusion 360 or Die Trying" series last summer and it was great. He is a little slow and repetitive, but he is also very careful to teach why you are doing the things you do. He is also careful to show you where he is clicking and which mouse button he is using. That is something some tutorials assume you will figure out on your own. This guy doesn't make that assumption. I really enjoyed the tutorial series. While I have looked at a couple of other tutorials for specific help, the "or Die Trying" laid a great foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 David Peach On the series "Learn Fusion 360 or Die Trying" loved the scalable hinged box. Created many different size boxes using that approach. After viewing his videos went searching for more and found the one I posted. They are both excellent places for learning Fusion 360. Thank you for sharing your post always looking for more learning opportunities of the highest caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rickbearcat Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 David Peach I love teachers like that. They take nothing for granted. And you can always ask for more advanced lessons later which you can tell him that you don't need as much handholding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Peach Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I like that the teacher went through showing how to build parameters into your sketches. I built a complicated something right after I learned that and enjoyed being able to go into my parameter table and make the updates for the changes I need. I don't always use parameters on my projects, but if it has more that a handful of lines, circles and rectangles I definitely use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
