i took an engineering class and we learned how to use this software i just learned more in this video than i did in an entire school year
Sounds about right
YES! It was your original maker coin tutorial that got me started in Fusion 360. Now that you've made an updated episode on it, maybe it's my turn? Well done as always, Angus!
Yes...please talk about modeling multicolor prints i.e. for the mmu2(s)
I love that, as opposed to most makers on CZcams, you actually acknowledge budget as a constraint
many will be like "ik ur poor so just use this affordable option!" and it's something that costs like $200
but here you actually make sure your tutorials are accessible for people who can't buy fancy software and I think that's really cool
Isn't it so nice when your screen EXACTLY matches the screen of the person who is doing the tutorial - Very well explained angus!
so much so when i flicked back to chrome from fusion 360 i thought i hadn't clicked it properly for a sec - it looked identical!
2:35 IMO, Fusion's 3D navigation is MUCH more intuitive if you change the Pan/Zoom/Orbit setting to "Tinkercad" in general preferences.
That gives you:
Select - Left button
Orbit - Right button
Zoom - Scroll
Pan - Hold scroll
I like this buttons config. thx for the tip.
im already used to this lol :D
I can see how Fusion's default menu navigation (Right button) would make workflows very fast with experience, but it's not easy to get used to, and for a beginner when you are just trying to get the hang of everything at once, and already have to think through every step, it's not a chore to go to the menu's and know where everything is located that way... I really gave the 'right click' navigation a good try so I could learn the efficient way to access things right off the bat, but after using the right mouse button at least 50 times to try to orbit around the object and ended up selecting undo or delete or repeat or any other random thing you land on when you expect to be zooming around the object to see it from the other side (but instead get a stacked menu wheel),,,,, I got fed up and changed to "tinkercad" navigation... SO much better.. I still get hesitations before right clicking after all the trouble it caused originally, but if you're familiar with tinkercad, i don't see the harm in switching to this to make Fusion feel a lot less foreign in the beginning... Good tip!
MrClown I use Zbrush a lot so being able to change the interface is good. Then again jumping between different interfaces tests your real-time aptitude. 🤨
Didn’t know that was a thing I couldn’t get used to fusion 360s weird controls, thanks
As Maker’s Muse starts his own physical currency. Behold the POWER!
For newcomers to Fusion, I highly recommend going into preferences and selecting the reverse zoom direction option. Usually, in fusion, if you scroll upwards, you zoom out instead of in as it usually is and vice versa, if you scroll down, you zoom in. If you select this option, it becomes much easier.
It's amazing how much has changed since you made this vid, Angus, but also amazing how still relevant it is. While I don't consider myself a newbie, I definitely learned a few things from this vid.
Thank you for your efforts.
Well, darn! I just finished the 2017 version, with which I had some issues, only to stumble onto this one, which is far better explained and easier to follow. You have indeed improved your tutorials over the last two years!
Total beginner to Fusion, really helped get started, super helpful! Please keep doing these types of videos. Cheers from Adelaide!
Tried different softwares, Auto Cad, Creo, Sketch up. Want to try 3d printing too, and fusion 360 is the most recommended 3d modeling software to go. Leaving a comment here to feed the algorithm. Thanks man.
I am moving from SolidWorks to Fusion and this video was a life saver. Clear, concise and a real education. Thank you and can not wait for more.
I am just starting out with Fusion 360 and although the basics were relatively easy to pick up, there are a lot of 'rules' and things when you get down the modelling path that either make it very easy to change things, or excruciatingly complicated... It's obviously all in the experience and knowledge, so i'm really happy you are doing a fusion tutorial and I hope you can do more... Even beginner tutorials can reveal those one or two things that make life a lot easier.
This is one of the best newbie how to videos I've found! Followed along step by step and gained an understanding along with some practical experience. Nicely done!!
This is by far, the best Fusion tutorial I have seen. Almost makes it manageable.
The first thing I printed was a maker coin I made with your original tutorial, that started me on fusion and I’ve come pretty far making props and stuff, thanks angus!
Thanks Angus! I’m just getting into Fusion and most tutorials are in the old layout. You’re awesome dude!
Awesome tutorial Angus!! I have watched other tutorials and this by far is the best. You explain EVERY step to include what you are doing with the mouse to move around. Fantastic. Thanks for all your hard work!
Cheers, I went from this video to my first functional print in very little time.
3D printing is the best reason I know of for paying attention in Geometry class: tangent, perpendicular, radius, etc. Thanks for the video!
Angus... I learnt so many things in this tutorial. I love the way you dont drag out each tip. Quick & to the point. Many thanks!
In inkspace I was able to take a JPG image and convert it into a bitmap where I could pull some basic detail out of the picture. From there I could extrude different textures for different parts of the coin. Great tutorial. Maker's Muse is a godsend.
Thank you for this!! I'm just getting into Fusion360 and 3d printing and I find your content very engaging, easy to follow along and full of the info I need!!
You are a fantastic teacher and communicator. Great vid
I know its 2 years to late but.... I'm Brand new to the 3d printer world, just stumbled on the "Maker Coin".. Followed your tutorial here and its a success. Will print it and let you know :)
Thank you. Learning 360. Only started a few weeks ago, and have designed several things so far. Learnt a whole lot more just from this video.
Thank you SO MUCH! I thoroughly enjoyed this. I look forward to getting a copy of Fusion 360 for startups before I go bankrupt! :)
So a few of the names of things have changed a little but not enough to render this tutorial inaccurate, many thanks Angus :)
Awesome tutorial. I'm pretty good in SketchUp, but since watching several of your videos on Fusion360, I can see how much more powerful it is than SketchUp. Thanks, Angus. You have inspired me to get into 3D printing. I'm a hobbiest and I love making things myself. There is no better satisfaction than taking an idea or image from my head and turning it into a physical object. But art and woodworking can only go so far, I think 3d printing is going to open up soo many new doors for me. Keep making these great videos and I'll keep watching!
Great tutorials, I am so happy to find your channel, I will watch all of your vidéos.
Thanks a lot !!!!
I've had fusion 360 installed for about 8 months. tried to work on it 4-5 times, never got anywhere. this has gotten me started. thanks so much. I hope to be able to check the rest of your videos so I can get away from 123d design (I'm super good at figuring that out, but a lot of it is educated, experienced guesswork)... Thanks Angus.
Before I was trying to learn FreeCAD but this seems to make a lot more sense
Thank you so much for your vids, i am new to everything 3d printing related and find myself literally spending hours per day watching your videos :P
I love your tutorials! It would be cool to see a more advanced tutorial on macking a maker coin with moving parts, gears, ect..
Great tutorial Angus. Sure, it was basic for me, but still interesting, you never know when you'll pick up new tips and I always watch all your videos. It will be a great help to my mate, who I'm currently converting to F360. Cheers mate.
Nice little lightbulb moment for me with the extrude:extent:all feature; many thanks! :)
Thank you so much for this. I just made my first coin and my first ever thing on Fusion 360.
Just followed your tut and made my first. Nice job! Im used to Solidworks and the original AutoCAD. Thanks for the refresher.
On MAC:
scroll - zoom
hold middle mouse and drag - pan
shift + hold middle mouse and drag - Orbit
I'm appalled at the thought of not using a 6DoF SpaceMouse ( www.3dconnexion.eu/products/spacemouser.html ) to regularly navigate the 3D Workspace...
Had to use shift + middle mouse on my windows 10. Might be my roller ball mouse ?
Hi! First of all, very good tutorial. Thanks! If someone (like me) just downloaded the new autodesk fusion 360 for personal use, you will notice that it doesn't include a save as STL option but save as mesh and the STL / binary option is in that submenu.
Based on your Solidworks -> to Fusion 360 recommendation, I finally gave it a try. My student version of Solidworks is no more and while TinkerCad is a great quick tool to use I wanted a little more CAD power. So far I'm pleasantly pleased with Fusion 360. Thanks for sharing your great finds.
because of this kind of content I will become a patreon.
Great review and update. I have watched and used your Inkscape tutorial a lot - as well as many of your your fusion 360 videos -and this one really helped to bring it all together. In fact, I can say that I learned to use Fusion 360 from you!! Many thanks.
btw when he talks about 3d navigation in the beginning those shortcuts are for solidworks you can change it in the general preferences section
learned something. Thank you!
This seriously tutorial are best for newbie! Thank you for everything!
Love this crash course. I use Civil 3d at work, and it was interesting trying something that feel so close to what i do at work, and yet is so different!.
Things I learned even though I'm very familiar with Fusion already:
Pattern a feature
It appears that you can select a curved face while extruding
Changing extrude extent thingy
:D
Thank you for this amazing tutorial. I have created my first 3D Design. You Are awesome!!!!
Outstanding job Angus!
Thanks for the Z axis tip :)
Yes!
Just a great video mate! Useful, fun, and easy to watch.
Thanks man, it was perfect to get myself introduced to Fusion 360. Congrats for the channel!
Love your contribution to 3d printing.🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀
Thank you. Very useful!
You can get a selectable list of items under your cursor in Fusion 360 by holding down the left house button over where you know an obscured item resides. This works for everything, axis included. That way you don't have to move stuff around to select something that isn't in the current view.
Just hold left mouse button for 2sec to select faces or lines or more. Thru edges and planes.
Good timing. I've just started using F360, and was looking to do this kind of work.
Love it keep making Fusion 360 Tutorials.
Use the "S" shortcut a lot myself, will popup a menu where you either can search for tools or add those you often use and when it's tricky to select something just hold down the mouse button and it will also popup a menu where you can select what you wanna select without having to rotate or hide objects.
Im so glad I found your channel. Your videos are going to be a lot of help. You lost me when you said pattern though. I kept hearing patent
Plus 1 for Inkscape, I use it all the time for my CNC, Vinyl Cutting, and 3D printer designs
Thanks so much for this beginners guide. Very useful indeed !
great and simple tutorial
thanks for the good video
Not sure "beginner" Fusion people are into fully-dimensioned, multiple tangent models with revolves and circular patterns but, hey, maybe we're raising the bar. ;)
Wow, was searching for this sence I am going to the Milwaukee maker faire on Sept 14. Great timing man!
thnx for this video! i'm looking forward seeing more of these tutorials. I'm new to usia 360 and this helped me a lot.
Thank you Angus! I'll check the other vids too.
Another great video Angus!
Brilliant video, please make some more of these. THANK YOU
when i import a svg, i pop it in at the side of my design, then copy/paste the svg lines. you can edit those copied lines easier.
Fantastic Tutorial... Thank you sir
I did it , amazing , thanks
Great tut thank you Angus, I see you brushed your hair for this video :) love your channel
this has been a great help. thank you!
Sweet, looking forward to making my own coin
Update: Finished setting up my printer, downloaded cura 4.5, fusion 360 and got my test print of the basic owl. About to download inkscape and design my logo!
I learned Autodesk Inventor in high school. I see it is very similar. Good for me
You should be able to change your SVG by double-clicking the specific step in the timeline. Otherwise nice tutorial!
I've been using Fusion for some time now, but I didn't know about construction lines which are really helpful.
Thanks Angus!
Greetings from Austria (not Australia. Europe XD)
thanks a lot
17:35 You can do the same thing in Adobe Illustrator. (Inkscape does not work on the ventura update for mac users)
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I'm attempting to follow along with the video and when he creates the "construction geometry" @8:47 he clicks "L" to create a new line, then clicks the point on the Z axis where the arc touches center and draws to the right. In the video his line draws out straight, but in my program, no matter what I do it creates a new curve extending from the center line to the right.
Love your videos and love for unusual Mechanisms I think you might Luban stools there made from a single piece of wood itd be interesting to see a print in place version and see if it could also still be used as a stool if you do decide to take on the challenge of designing one I'd definitely give it a go
Fusion 360 also is free for hobbyists
Yes, but you have to renew the registration from time to time, you must register (create an account), and all data is usually stored at Autodesk (cloud). And if you like to sell an item, you have to buy the professional licence, otherwise you can get in trouble.
Freecad is completely open-source, the user is to 100% owner of his work any time. And it works also 100%, when you have no internet-connection.
very helpful
Nicely Done!
thanks so much man
Just wanted to say you're my go-to 3D printing dude. No offence to Joel or the others of course. And I wanted to know if you've heard of Non-Planar 3D printing. As I recently became aware of it, and I hope to see your input on the technique.
Fusion 360 is a real world tool, as opposed to say 3DSMax. With 3DSMax the stuff you make only has the mass of the electrons that make it up. With Fusion 360 you can command CNC 5 axis mills with aerospace grade alloy as stock. Build things like Boeing A380’s.
Thank you for the information. At the bottom of the 360 window there are a row of 8 buttons. Mine almost always at some point disappear at some point. Therefore, I now cannot select the Orbit tool for example, and there no keyboard short cut that I can see. Please advise: what am I doing? Why do these buttons keep going away?
love ur videos
Thank you!
Did they change the terms? It appears it's not free anymore, but for students or educators.
nice vid angus
As I try to enter the construction line @8:59 the tangent arc continues and I am unable to get a straight construction geometry line. How would I fix this?
Have you ever tried installing something like a Stoneflower 3D kit on one of your printers for printing in clay/ceramics? That would be amazing.
When I set Z is up it doesn't change on the box in the top right....?
Thanks for update Tutorial.
Can you pls show how to edit a dimension. Thank you
My construction line keeps on turning out curved instead of straight. Any help?
as soon as I get to 13:06, I can't move the circle. If I remove the constraint to be able to move the circle the construction line doesn't follow...And afterwards when I put the dimension line, it over-constaints the sktech...I can't find what I'm doing wrong...any ideas..?
Any tips on adding text that's one line width? I'm looking to add text that would be as small as possible and then 3D print it. Great video as always.
