I love the way you keep repeating the instructions, and show where the tools are located, and the options that we can take. Th4e fact that I subscribed says it all....
I have learned a lot from this video. It was easy for me to follow your steps. The idea to move the ends of the thread by 70° made my day. Thanks a lot and keep on uploading such great videos.
As a fellow self-taught Fusion user, I'm really glad your channel popped up in my suggested videos! Like many things in Fusion, there's multiple ways to get to the finish line and it's fun seeing different approaches to what I would typically do. It's good to carry alternate methods in our bag of Fusion tricks. One tidbit for you is that when doing circular patterns, you don't need to select just an "axis". You can select any circular face, edge, or sketch line as well.
Thanks for the feedback and I completely agree! I am aware of the other ways to use the circular pattern tool but didn’t want to confuse people so figured I’d just show the axis method. However, that is a great tip, and hopefully people will read the comments (like yours) to learn more!
I clicked because I downloaded a jar about 6 months ago that looked EXACTLY like that one and reprinted the lid 3 different times with slight size variations and could never get it to fit correctly enough to be usable for my needs. Could have been because I was using a 1mm nozzle and vase mode due to lack of time, ended up spending too long anyway and just buying something. Thanks for the tutorial. I've only done some basic modeling in onshape but am going to watch some more of your stuff
Awsome, and thanks for taking my advice on showing it printed. Also thanks for adding in the embossing. I'm still new to Fusion360 and have watched HOURS of videos yours till show me some things I didn't know like holding down the mouse button.
Great job! Excellent description of each step and the big ending with the piece 3d printed. And the ccick Awesome Very thanks and please keep on this track Best regards 👏👏👏
Thank you. I have been designing a Spaghetti container for my wife and the Fusion Threads were not suitable. Too many turns to tighten or remove the lid. I used your technique, very pleased with the results.
also, I swear I don't have a lisp. Lol. For some reason the microphone recorded all of my "sixes" as "thixes" - lol. I really need to figure my audio out
You're using some sort of noise reduction on the audio which is why it sounded like that. Having a more solid setup without noise reduction would be better, but it really wasn't bad at all.
Great video! This Triple-Start thread is really working great. I have printed model actually the same as you but i have one question. There is no click as in yours :( do you know maybe which dimension or feature is responsible for that in this assembly?
The "click" is very odd. I've been getting some people saying its there, and other's its not. It must be something to do with the layer lines, and print settings and not the model itself.
Very good and easy to follow tutorial. However I am using Solid Works and it was pretty easy to duplicate almost everything - except the coil function. SW have an helix function which can be extruded to a "coil" quite easily. However SW defaults to a clockwise rotation which I didn't noticed until I realized the lid screws on and off in the wrong direction :) When you explain all the different coil settings, you didn't mention the need to be careful and pick counter clockwise as the right direction.
Another great video! At the seven minute mark when you make the coil how is it only half way around I know that i'm missing something. I have played that 07:00 minute several times but I don't know what i'm missing? Please don't change the way you present your videos because it shows that you are human (even the baby crying in the background briefly) 😄 on another video. Never mind I saw it!
The error on the second circular pattern was because you selected the coil from the model and had "Faces" set for the object type. Great video though, and I'm going to use this for all my future designs.
Great video. I always had seam challenges with smooth shapes as well... You might try Orca slicer's Scarf joint feature. Ive recently given it a go and when used with a random seam position seams on cylinders nearly vanish.
Rather than making the coil as a new body, could you make the coil as a join and then create the circular pattern with object type set to features, selecting the coil and 2 rotations? I think it could circumvent the combine step.
Great video! Will try this soon :) Any idea why the little click happened at the end when screwing the lid in all the way? As far as I could tell, you didn't add any notch.
No, I'm still trying to figure that out! Other people who have printed it, have had the same experience. Maybe the layer lines are lining up perfectly and "clicking" past each other at the end?
Great video! This thread works great! I have followed all your instructions and made the same design as you. But i have one doubt. There is no click :(( Do you know maybe which dimension or feature is responsible for that?
I have some people getting the click and others not getting the click. So I think it has to do with what printer you have and maybe your printer settings. I'm wondering if the "click" is the layer lines sliding past each other at the last moment. I'm not sure.
I personally don't like any of the basic shapes in coil for this application. The round one is imprecise for the printer and the triangle is too sharp. Square creates overhangs. I have tried a few times to make a custom one by using the triangle edge as a sweep guide rail. Its a hassle but it works. If you do that make sure you define the sketch plane from the path as it has to be correctly tilted. For some reason when i did that i had trouble turning one side with move. Also move often breaks when parameters are changed. I think i ended up cutting it using a plane before combining. I had the coil feature fail on me also when i changed the size of the object underneath which moved the coils center - the coil wouldn't adapt and stayed on place while the object moved. I had to define a plane by a sketch line for the coil that would move with the object. The coil feature could really use a few upgrades, not clinging to any shapes as its defined is annoying. I learnt to use custom parameters for every dimension i use more than once. Id love for it to have a custom shape or allow a sketch to be used.
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I am really new to using Fusion. Why wouldn't you just make the lid over the section with threads and then just cut the threads from the intersection of the lid cylinder and the thread tenon section? Fusion can't do that?
Fusion definitely can do that, and you can definitely make threads like that. However, I have found that those threads don't work as well when 3D printing. Having two "male" threads, as opposed to a "male" and "female" thread, tends to work much better.
I use this approach a lot with custom threads for 3D printing (like a triangle but with 45; angle), especially if they are too complicated to define. The key here is to use offset face and offset them from each other by a little bit (which is also good to do with the regular F360 threads but anything under i think M16 doesnt let you have a 2mm pitch which i find works very well for printing).
