WOW is all I have to say, been using F360 for about a year as a hobby woodworker and my mind is BLOWN away at how easy you made this look, I would have spent hrs making each finger ! Never even knew about the damn Combine option. THANKS !!
There's a very good tutorial on Udemy by Vladimir Mariano that honestly helped me so much. I will say though I didn't know about the variables and defining them until now but I know about combine and duplicate functions from his class
Hi! Great video! However I am having trouble getting some of the equations that you are using in your parameters to work in my Fusion360. Im not sure if this is because this was made 5 years ago and maybe some of the "rules" have changed? I need to use this process often in my work so any help would be appreciated, thanks!
It's a shame that fusion 360 is so outdated with laser cutring features. Freecad with laser cut interoocking mod is so convenient you can do this in 3min automatically
A big thank-you for the clear no-nonsense, straight to the point video. I've had success following through your video for the third time . This has everything to say about my abilities with following instructions and is no reflection on the instructions in the video, which are absolutely superb. - Many, many thanks for your generosity.
This comment might not hit the sight of the author of the video after 4 years, but wouldn't it be easier to make the fingers part of the panel sketches and extrude them as a whole to make the component?
If you were to select the faces on the other side would that eliminate the arrows pointing to the origin and thus get rid of any need to use negative numbers? Or is it always pointing towards the origin point as a coincidence. It's not a big deal but it just seems like it always wants to go the exact opposite way you need it to and the only reason I can think of that it would always do that is because it also happens to be the origin point for XYZ.
While it was fast, I was able to follow the concept...I will have to watch it a few more time to be able to use without having to have this video in the background...Awesome video...Thank you
This is really great example how to use parametrization and build scalable design. Thank you! One feedback I do have is that for both pairs of side panels it would be better to build them as a component and instantiate twice - much less work. Building bottom as component would also be good - RULE #1 :-)
12:55 when placing the contraint to the bottom I get a message: Adding this dimension will over-constrain the sketch. Choose OK to create a Driven Dimension. How can I fix this?
Thanks for these videos. I am using Fushion360 and although the interface is a little different I can still fudge my way around. But will this import work with Photoshop CS? I'll have to give it a try. Or alternatively import to Lightburn?
well, it is 3years you did not post, anyway, I ask me if it is possible in your Box configuration to put a parameter to define a small (0,1 other 0,2mm) space between the finger joint that make it easier to mount (spaciely with huge box) and dog bones for cnc (this not a problem I think) thanks so much to take time to explain our little brain those complex parameter
Here's a puzzle for you (me). How to offset the face of all "female" (or "male") notches/tabs such that when CNC machines they fit without interference. Simply adding an overcut to the CNC process would overcut the entire perimeter, so tabs would get shorter and notches would get deeper and wider, which is generally problematic since you aren't controlling what gets offset. And some parts, like sides have a combination of tabs/notches to adjust and some to leave alone (bottom or side). I'm trying to figure out the best way to accomplish. My problem is since the previous part is used to cut the next part, I'd have to add the face offsets to the previous part after the cut. And since it's not doe to the original feature, parameters fail if notches are added. Maybe make 2 bodies for the "cutting" parts, one that does the cutting, one that has the offsets applied. Only CNC the offset ones. <scratches head>. Grateful for suggestions.
HM: Great video, thanks. Hope you are still watching for comments. I was about to create the same thing for my high school robotics team to use/learn. With my CNC router these exact fit notches are a problem. They become too tight interference fits. Any tricks to shaving a few thou off the notches or tabs so I can fit my parts together without binding?
Quick tip: Most of Fusion 360's textboxes automatically convert units, so you could type in: 0.125" and it would have automatically figured out 3.175mm for you. (unfortunately 1/8" doesn't work, but 1"/8 does work!)
Iron Man - I actually have a plugin that I've been working on for F360 to make this easier, but it's been stalled the last few months, along with all of the videos that I wanted to make for this channel. I hope to publish something soon.
This was super helpful, thank you. One question about an option in newer versions of Fusion360. In the 2D Profile Cut/Passes/Outer Corner Mode. I'm assuming for a laser this would be Keep Sharp? Thanks
a perfect way to makes boxes is at: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YPoJ484-7tI.html it uses free onshape... its easy and awesome even making the dxf for the lasercutter is super easy!!!!
Hello, on my project the: front, back left and right panel wasnt exhange their dimmensions. I follow all your step but they wasnt automaticaly resized. how can I fix this?
