G+_Jason Miles (SmoothBass Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 When it's broke 3D print it!!! Drawer bracket designed in Fusion 360, printed from Shapeways since I needed it fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Nice! How's the durability compared to molded plastic? I always figured printed would be more fragilé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Miles (SmoothBass Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Ben Reese this particular composite is pretty strong. I was impressed honesty. Feels just as strong as the original. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hope you don't mind me asking where one can find the absolute newbie tutorials? All videos so far say basic or beginners but leave questions galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Miles (SmoothBass Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Rud Dog I just went on You Tube. Autodesk has a few "getting started" with videos that got me pointed in the right direction. I have to say. I used to use 3d software back 15 years ago (Visual Nastran) so I had a foundation to build on that helped speed up the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Rud Dog Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Jason Miles Worked with Printed circuit board layout software for years and was drawn to the professional results of Fusion 360 but wasn't expecting the drill down levels for lots of commands. So decided to pick and learn from videos simple things like aligning two items. Creating items and placing holes and other modifications. Now looking to figure out how you can place visible dimensions on extruded items. I have seen sketches with visible dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
