Going through a bunch of different CAD drawings tutorials with a variety of software like AutoCAD, Sketch Up and OnShape. So that you can laser cut/engrave and 3D print.
My onshape is different. When I click helix, It shows the option "input type." is there a type spot where i can type in the height because i've been watching videos and I think mine is updated
Hey so I went in to check what you were talking about and it looks like you can pick an end point when using the input type turns or pitch. Is that what you are asking about?
@@MakerLessons oh thanks for responding. I figured it out but I wanted to know how to chose how high I wanted the thread to be and it not be the full part
Thanks for the kind words. I like to think of a lasers kerf as room for glue haha. If I want a press fit I don't use use these features. forum.onshape.com/discussion/3910/auto-layout-feature Also here is a link for the auto layout. Good luck have fun
Fantastic tutorial, very clear! Anybody else notice that in the Assembly animations the nut rotates the opposite way it should when screwing on and off?
did u finish the laser cut animal series? im trying to make a dragon but the pieces that slot in on top to hold the whole thing together confuse me. im not sure how to make them.
Thank you so much! Saved me a lot of time in trying to figure this out from scratch! As a point of reference, if you are trying to match standard threads, check out Wikipedia (Unified Thread Standards) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Thread_Standard. I'm finding this quite useful in getting the thread geometry to match some existing metal threads.
Hey, thanks for watching. There is more than one correct way to model something and using a boolean operation is definitely one way to do it. I didn't want to introduce boolean in this video but I do plan on making an entire video on those operations soon.
Preference. Pitch can be found from TPI by dividing 1 by TPI and it's just what I like to work with. It also helps me when I am making the sweep profile to know how large I can make it.
HELP! I'm stuck on third base. I wanna bring it home. I've gotten as far as the 1:1 dxf drawing, but when I import, it is scaled down. How do I scale it back up accurately? I'm blocked when I try to figure out a reference.
It was in there originally, but for some reason when uploading my audio cut out during that section. Yes, include the tolerance that your printer needs, I start with .01in and mess around from there.
Good tutorial. The only thing I do differently is to make the angle of the thread triangle be 45 degrees so you don't need support material under the threads when 3D printing them.
If you're just looking to make threads that show in a drawing there is the threads feature ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x0Oa6XuRaH8.html
Super helpful video! I have to replicate a buttress thread on a kayak part, so the native threading tool in onshape wasn't going to work for me. This will solve my issue!
Hi there very helpful video. Just a small problem, wouldn't let me select plane 2 on that fillet edge from sketch 3. I am a beginner so not may seem like a dumb question
Great video and thank you. I've been playing with threading in Tinkercad and I didn't really like the way they handle threading. Onshape seems to handle threading in a manner that is more inline with how I'm used to making threads (which is on a lathe). It looks like a more complicated process to create a thread for 3D printing with Onshape but your video will help me greatly. Thanks again.
Yea, the helix sweep path is like the lathe spinning and your hands moving, and the sketch profile is like the shape of the tip of your turning tool. Good analogy 👍
Excellent tutorial! But I can't seem to find the button for "Sheet Metal Table and Flat View". I only have 4 icons on the right side of the window. Any help would be appreciated! Nevermind... I closed the document and re-opened it and that icon appeared.
Hey, the icon on the side will show up once you actually choose the sheet metal model button on the top tool bar and pick a part you are going to work with. Hope that helps
How do you counterbore inside a previously extruded pocket? I have a cube with an extruded pocket in the top face and inside that pocket are three holes that go through the side face to mount it to a printer. When I try and counterbore it shows the counterbore going all the way through rather than giving me a step. It doesn’t matter if I change the depth, it always goes through the full diameter of the counterbore. If I do it anywhere outside of the pocket it does it correctly.
I was still of the mind set to learn how to draw things with the simplest tools first, sketch and remove, but if I was to remake these drawings I 100% agree. I should have just used the slot tool.
When you click on helix there are a bunch of options. There is a turn and pitch option where you can set your pitch and then choose how many turns you want. This will allow the partial threading you are looking for.
