3D Print and Design Multi-Texture Prints // Autodesk Fusion Tutorial

[@make.anything]

Hey, thanks for watching! As some have already pointed out QIDI Slicer is based on Prusa Slicer, not Cura... Whoops! Should I add a Cura bit? Also, if any part of the tutorial leaves you with questions, feel free to ask here or on Discord :) Other notes: - When slicing, you may also turn off 'Detect narrow internal solid infill', 'Close small gaps', 'Ensure vertical shell thickness'... and basically anything that adds uncessecary infill. Devin

[@Chvcka]

Seriously, one of the best 3D printing design pioneers

[@shanewalters7821]

Yes, more Fusion 360 tutorials! While I'll have to go back and slow this tutorial down while attempting this in Fusion, this was completely novel to me!

[@scellyyt]

Isn't qidi slicer based on prusaslicer?

[@make.anything]

Oops, you're right!

[@Guy86567]

Is it the same thing as Prusaslicer?

[@scellyyt]

@Guy86567 it is a reskin of prusaslicer with qidi link functionality and presets for some of their printers

[@gunneone]

On every Fusion tutorial I notice, how much experience can improve the process. I use it sporadically for years now but never really learned all the tools properly. For the main and fuzzy shell I would've drawn circles with different radii on the ground. Your shell solution is much more elegant. Thanks for teaching :)

[@3DPrintingNerd]

Holy cats dude these look wonderful!

[@ChazBword]

What an AMAZING concept. I need to repot a LOT of my plants this upcoming spring and I'm going to use your designs, this video, and try and better learn fusion. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@josefishak2810]

Thank you for getting me into this amazing hobby. It's been so much fun these last few years.

[@misscmavros]

Thanks for showing in multiple slicers ❤

[@Joshwaa_s]

This was really useful! Not only as a how to video - but as an introduction to further design concepts in fusion and how to apply them to multiple projects - was great!

[@Drewzy.77]

I have a request! I printed one of these to see how they come out, and I am blown away by the effect! I hope that you will continue to make more multi-material designs and post them to Thangs. I think a large library of these types of models will be very popular and lucrative for you. Love your channel. Keep up the great work!

Great to hear, thanks!

[@JuanPabloMontoyaUrdaneta]

Man, you are AWESOME. You just got a new fan here!

[@neebick]

For more complex surfaces, my favorite method is to use the surface workspace. Apply a 0mm offset to the faces you want to make fuzzy. Then thicken the resulting face group to about 1mm. I then use that body as a modifier in Prusa/Orca/Bambu slicer with the fuzzy skin settings. Makes it easier if you change your mind about using fuzzy skin later in the project. I’ve used it on outer surfaces of grips that were designed to slide onto other parts without effecting the mating surfaces geometry.

[@andrikurniawan531]

Can u make video about it?, I just to dumb to understand

[@neebick]

@@andrikurniawan531I should have said surface tab but basically you use the offset tool to makes a copy of surfaces you want fuzzy. Then the thicken command makes that surface into a body. It’s very similar to extruding. You would export the bodies same as he showed. In the slicer you can make a body into a modifier by right clicking on it and using the context menu. Modifiers change the settings for the area they overlap. Finally set the fuzzy settings the same as he showed for the modifier.

[@mrtea3122]

Another smart and inventive idea man, you have shown some great ideas on your channel Devin.

[@floatypiet]

Dude that was wild! I'll definitely try it out! 😍 Thank you!

[@tablatronix]

nice, I have been wanting to do this forever, even just slicing to get inner surfaces textured is a pita.

[@jpting_]

I’ve been out of the loop when it comes to 3D printing for awhile. This is really cool! It does look really nice in a decorative sense, but I’d prolly use it for grips and such. I haven’t gotten my 3D printer set back up since moving homes, but maybe it’s time to fix that..

[@EC-gy9pv]

You are amazing, Devin! Thank you for sharing your art and creativity. I learned a lot from this video and just made my own design. It's comprised out of multiple organic shapes in Adobe Illustrator, sized a whole thing just right to fit to that debossed sketch (320x53 in my case), exported as DXF into Fusion. Printing is done ~70% with fast color changing matte filament - it's stunning!!! Would you please consider making a video how you designed your shared here Breeze Carafe?

[@cjgogreen]

Absolutely amazing! Looks like Sweden is treating you well :)

[@ohhadivist]

[@efremtommasi1387]

Great tutorial, thank you for sharing this! I use the same slicer "magic" but in Fusion I prefer import svg for the pattern, even if the emboss feature still need little workarounds to work properly

I see you've been foraging for fallen lichen sticks! I sometimes pick them up and transfer the lichen to new trees during my walks. Especially the old man's beard (skägglav) as they used to be and still are pretty rare. I have a tree I've stuck dozens to, I'm sure it's going to look amazing in like, a lifetime or so! Actually I have no idea if they'll survive, but hey at least I tried. Loving the prints, cool sponsorship! The fuzzy is a function in fusion? I wonder if you could mess with their algorithm to create other patterns than random noise and/or modify the randomness to create an area where the fuzzy is a gradient from smooth to spiky? Loved seeing the cutaway of the fuzzy, it's just a bunch of squiggles!

[@herrerajairo]

Very very simple and smart. Amazing

[@Ace01010]

Man I hope slicers In the future have more texture options, it’s great to be able to do it yourself but every time can be quite tedious.

[@samlow9077]

Thanks for the video. I'm really wonder with this idea and would like to try it as well by my own. Also found in the video some new tips in fusion for me. Great works and thanks for sharing your experience 👍

[@thomask819]

Let’s just stop and appreciate the GROUP feature, where Devin groups multiple not touching bodies into one group. Never knew this was possible until now, and I use Fusion for 6 years now! 🎉

[@make.anything]

Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have glossed over that so quickly! :P As of recently you can group sketches as well, which has been awesome for decluttering my bigger projects

[@neebick]

@@make.anythingYeah that was a new one for me as well. I’ve saved groups as step files but didn’t know you could do that for meshes as well.

[@thomask819]

I really had to make your video 0.25x in order to view these steps. But this is an absolute game changer!!

[@make.anything]

@@thomask819 Thanks! It's tough to decide on pacing since everyone is at a different stage of learning.. I hope to do more CAD livestreams because that shows the entire process in realtime :)

[@julianmongabure2156]

Excellent, I loved the video and the way you explain it, although I couldn't do it in Cura, I couldn't find the configurations that way, could you explain it in Cura too? thank you!

[@teabagNBG]

u need to make a video about the fuzzy skin - options - and looks...... ur fuzzy skin on the green object looks amazing...

[@CoolBruhDesign]

Great video!

[@leolaveau6030]

Love it

[@videomonkeys]

Would like to see more Fusion tutorials, subbed! I've seen people using a knitted pattern on models - is this a similar principle? Would love to learn more how it's done.

[@make.anything]

The knitted pattern is modeled into the part rather than a slicer setting, but it would be great combined with fuzzy skin!

[@videomonkeys]

@@make.anything cool, so use something like Blender then, or you think it can be done in Fusion?

[@lucaszanvettor9065]

Great tutorials and ideas, as always!! Is there a advantage from the design point of view for making cylinders by revolution instead of extrusion? I have not yet learned CAD for real, just a few things to get me going and your designing process at 6:30 got me thinking

[@make.anything]

In this case extruding a circle would essentially have the same outcome, although with the revolve you can edit both the diameter and height within that sketch. I guess I did the revolve out of habit because it can be used to make more complex shapes as well... I like getting a lot of work done within a single sketch :)

[@Lexa_IN_DA_HOUSE]

Hey, very nice t-shirt, man!

[@lbva]

Hi! Great tutorial, thank you! A bit too fast for me as a newbie in Fusion, but ok. One question: how did you manage to create new bodies on Emboss feature on 11:00? When I repeat all the steps it doesn't create new bodies. Which differs some further iterations.

[@make.anything]

Thanks for watching! Maybe I'll do some slower pace tutorials soon :) When using the emboss (ie. deboss) tool, adjust the depth to cut all the way through the body, leaving the unselected pieces behind. Let me know if that makes sense 🤔

[@JW-lp8oz]

Cool technique, i just realized you could have the holes as a separate negative part, allowing them to be optional, and movable.

[@jehthings3d]

Very Nice and detailed explanation 👌

[@mzik0013]

So cool! I try to apply a style of plastic texture on any surface but I don’t find

[@ThisisDD]

I think the new version of Prusa slicer lets you paint fuzzy skin on surfaces now

[@jrobot83]

Yes good call! it works nicely. I think that paint-on tool would make this awesome workflow even easier. Definitely for single body models.

[@EngineerAAJ]

I wonder if it is possible to make a lamp that projects stars on the ceiling at night by having reversed of what you did, instead of embossing the inside of the shapes, embossing the outside of the shape

[@make.anything]

I made a rather simple star projector several years ago, it can definitely be done. The hardest part is finding a light source that is very strong and concentrated.

[@FreeDubConnection]

Filament green color is perfect. what is the brand ? is that pla ?

[@srilemobitelsrile8809]

I made simple one after you made short video. Thank you for this video. Now I could make more complex ones. Is it possible to "burn" fuzzy settings into geometry of model so that you can have STL with fuzzy geometry?

[@make.anything]

While there are some interesting textures you can bake into the model, fuzzy skin actually forces the printer to do some sharp and overlapping lines that the slicer would normally prevent, so I don't think it can be perfectly replicated... but it's an interesting idea to explore!

[@Mr.Mike42]

I got to the point with the center point rectangle and got an error saying it's over constraints 😢

[@make.anything]

Maybe your centerline wasn't starting and ending at the top and bottom of Body 2? Also, the rectangle doesn't actually have to be centered, so maybe just do a rectangle contstrained to the top and bottom of the body.

[@frankb5728]

That's a really cool effect.. Does the fuzzy skin part get dirty real quick with dirt ?

hey cool stuff, do u think this would work with TPU for functional designs?

[@make.anything]

I absolutely think it's possible. Sounds like a fun endeavor :)

[@Borocket-d6z]

A functional use could be for making dual tex climbing holds

[@FRobot-rx4kz]

You can also just export your files as a .3mf from fusion so you don't need to export multiple .stl files! ...saves you a few seconds i guess....

[@make.anything]

I tried that recently and the resolution suffered 🤔.. plus it created like 100 separate bodies for some of these designs, versus two. I am finally starting to mess around with 3MF though :P

[@FRobot-rx4kz]

@@make.anything very interesting - I have to test if it really exports a lower quality mesh (😬 ... been using the 3mf export all the time) ...and yeah, i guess not having everything as separate bodies is an advantage.

[@predmaster]

About the desing... Why don't create a circle an extrude it?

[@kk-sc7sw]

How to make in freecad?

[@N1ghtR1der666]

why not use scarf seams, they work really well for me to hide seams completely

[@vinceelegado]

is this possible in Shapr3D?

[@Ace01010]

That is a great question, I am also curious of this. Maybe in plasticity?

[@JacquesMattelaer]

The actual debossing demonstration is very unclear to me…. Am I right that you do not deboss the actual triangular and other little shapes but the grand rectangle around it? And do you deboss that only in the outer body, or in the two bodys? And How deep do you deboss?

[@make.anything]

Yes, debossing the 'background' to leave the floating shapes that will become fuzzy. I only deboss the outer body and depth is just through the entire part (hence leaving all the fuzzy parts separately).

[@TheNewBloodDan]

Qidi slicer looks more like Prusa slicer interface wise than cura.

[@kamencic]

I now that reviewing 3D printers isn't your stuff anymore and you just want to do projects now but I'm kinda disappointed in major 3D printing channels. None of you top guys doesn't speak about Bambu Lab scandal which looks to me like you are more interested in sponsor deals you get than well being of 3d printing community and 3d printing future.

[@MarkusRessel]

I get it, but IMHO there were more than enough posts and videos all over the internet to know about it. It wasn't even the first time bambu got into trouble. People will figure it out sooner or later. As an X1C owner myself it would be an understatement to say I am bummed about these developments, but I don't blame creators for... well... simply wanting to create, and stay out of "drama" topics, even if the drama is very much justified. Its important that voices are loud, but not every single one has to be involved. I for one have warned all of my friends about bambu labs and will never buy another printer from them. At the same time I still love the machine I have and hope that jailbreaks or even alternative boards will show up at some point.

[@kamencic]

@MarkusRessel I mostly agree with you. Yet I still think major 3D printing channels kinda failed us in a way. They are in position of great privilege but also great responsibility. And right now it looks like they are interesten in only one of those. With their influence it would be easier to convince Bambu Lab that their decisions need to be revoked asap. Louis Rossmann helped more than any of big 3d influencers and he even doesn't need to bother himself with it. It's not his field at all.

[@MarkusRessel]

@@kamencic I agree, I just don't think Devin is to blame here (meaning this channel). But I guess you might have also posted this elsewhere and I just didn't see it. And you writing it here made me realize that you are right in the first place, so there's that. I didn't even notice none of the "big players" responded, probably because I searched for videos myself and found a lot of them.
