I have a question, what if I need a box with lid that is not exactly half of the whole box size, for example I want lid 20mm and bottom 30mm. From your tutorial is perfectly clear how to design it, but how to print it? In this scenario lid will end up 10mm high in the air while printing box in open position, how to solve this without huge support?

I don't understand, when I adding Joint like you show and pressing OK it flips for some reason..

Great Video. Thank you very much.

I really like the way you explain and show everything step by step. You just earned a sub!

no click sound - no like, sorry 🤷‍♂

great tutorial im having a problem when i add the top hinge further down the line i lose my split line

dude, very helpful video. I'm in my first week of learning Fusion and this was great. Also taught me a good design for hinges for a small project I'm considering. Thanks! Subscribing for sure.

How can I move a body to be exactly on top of each other. Lets say I create 2 boxes and now I wanna move one to be directly on top of the other. I tried the move tool but when I pane in and out I can see that it's not really on top, it's separated still from each other

Can you print this on a prusa mini?

this shit is so complicted

Bzzz bzzz bzz, from a fellow hobeeeist, thank you! 🐝🐝

So useful! Thank you!

This actually worked really well! I made a few adjustments for clearance issues and used magnets for the latching but thank you for making this! You definitely explained this really well and there are some concepts as a bigger that you use here that make things so much easier when trying to design things.

What Mac are you using? Does it run fusion 360 well?

longest 4 minute

This tutorial is great! Cant thank you enough for this.

Awesome tutorial. Thank you very much. I am going to try and make this box parametrical. Thanks again.

Could you give me the sizes of your lid and boxes? thx!

Thanks!

Anyone else’s hinges get offset from the center construction line after they put in the 45° angles?

Why the gap in between the “knuckle” and the pin? I get the gap where the center piece floats over it but there shouldn’t be a gap between the inner pin and the hole in the knuckle? Also, why not print it on its side ? Wouldn’t that be a better orientation and easier to manage tolerances ?? Circles are tough to print on the Z axis :) You can easily end up with flat spots on top and bottom of the holes where the filament sags. Especially when you don’t have supports :)

explained most complicated design with simplicity.

We used this method to fit parts, the only problem is orientation, more the usage the layers where the part snap wears off.

does it close tho?

Nice video, I have a project for my engineering class which requires a box to house a bread board for our electrical circuit and I’m gonna print a box like this with the hinge and snap lid just with a bigger box. Thank you!!!

He does a great job explaining. Shame it didn't work out for him to continue

Excellent tutorial, thank you

nice work

so the box cant shut? just followed the tutorial and made the box, will print soon and find out. thanks for the vid!

Great tutorial. Worked well. Did in PLA and the latch broke the first time I tried it, but it was more a learning experience than a functional thing.

You've done a brilliant job, man I have not seen anything like this!!!!

Very nice. Thank you.

Finally, a tutorial that walks through step by step in a nice methodical manner so I (very much a noob with fusion) can follow along and understand! I'm with @rache5399 in that I hope you get back into making these!

thanks for your tutorial, This is my first time with this process, from the design to the making with your printer, I hope to learn more from you, thanks

Im glad that you said to Experiment with the offset other than saying f. E use 0.5mm coz there are people like me with a calibrated relatively precise printer and then using some premade models with *massive* tolerances to the point where f. E. M3 screw holes stop to work and stuff like that. Also - calibrate your printer itself, not the Design offset. So for cura its f. E. Horizontal expansion, and make it so the Design matches the reality. This helps a *ton* for modeling. Also if anyone makes tolerance critical designes either make sure to calibrate your printer or using f. E. Curas horizontal Expansion on a e3, or mention that you have tolarances calibrated to said printer. Especially on the lesser known Designs i see this issue a lot, and have to change the Design or scaling the Part (or Expansion offset) acordingly to Match that. I loooove Print in place Designs that are intentionally with tight tolerances cause these just plain work. And are not just a wobbly mess. That said, 0.2mm tolerance is indeed a good starting point for normal stuff - for tight cases and stuff like that i often use 0.1 (f. E. Brackets for my Lab psu/combo thing where i put pcbs with lcds in and stuff like that.)

You have no idea how thankful I am for this video! When you said "let's add some snap fit parts to the box", I literally said "YESSS THANK YOU!!" out loud hahaha. I know these are from 2 years ago but they are still seriously appreciated and you did an amazing job of showing us noobs step by step. Would love more if you ever decide to hop back into it!

great tutorial, thanks a ton, now my cat cant turn my computer off anymore.

fantastic video thankyou, very good for beginners!

Love this and this is what I am looking for however, when i create the first hinge, and join it when extruding, it joins to the box and the split disappears, creating a solid box once again. Any ideas?

hahahaha the cover doesn't work.😂

great vids, will you be making more?

Thanks, 👍✌🖖🥃

i noticed it was very stiff once it was 3D printed, is there a way to avoid that?

you too have a beautiful day

Amazing Tutorial!

such a good tutorial

Thank you. I came here to learn about hinges and wound up learning a number of Fusion 360 techniques that I had not yet explored. You blunt "do this, do that" style gets to the point very effectively. And even some nice jazz to cover the printing, rather than ear shattering duffa duffa music!

Was the offset between the lid and the box drawn out in the initial sketch or in a setting somewhere? I followed along and now just stuck on the offset. Thanks for the great video.

Thanks for a great Video hopefully you get more subs and will start making more fusion tutorials :).
