This video should get so many more views. I am new to Fusion 360 but not new to modelling. The idea of using parameters is fantastic. As a software dev by trade it makes so much sense to use parameters to drive the procedural model being created. And it is not just for adjusting tolerances, but it allows you to design one hinge/model to be resized to whatever future project one might have.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Exactly, using parameters in Fusion 360 is a great way to work, just like variables in code 👍

[@sethkoster1]

This is the best fusion 360 tutorial I've come across. Has exactly what I need, including ways to update using variables, and gets it done in almost no time. Thanks! Subscribed.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Glad it helped, hope your 3D print comes out well

[@CitadelOfLukes]

Subbed, there is waaayyyyy more value in here then just hinge making! Thanks for making this!

Like others in the comment section, this is the best fusion 360 hinge tutorial i've seen.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Thanks, glad it helped 👍

[@pooppyybuhhole]

I’ve never used parameters on my model but can absolutely see how these could improve my workflow, especially with the tolerances since I’ve been manually entering them and hoping I remember them/don’t fat finger them 😅 Thanks for the video! Definitely a hidden gem of content right there.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Glad it helped, for quick models. Sometimes parameters aren't worth it but just like everything with computers, having a variable can really save time when you need to change something

[@markcm]

WOW! I got so much more than I was hoping for out of your tuturial. Great job and thank you!

Very helpful introduction to in place hinge and parametric modeling with fusion. I'm new to fusion and this was very much needed. Thanks for your kindness.

Glad is was helpful, happy modeling in Fusion 👍

[@jamessundance6489]

just what i was thinking. im new to 360 and I could do this hinge in the most inefficient and clunky way possible in about 2 or 3 hours of pulling my hair out. i feel like I need to go back and redo all my models now.

[@bigjame26]

i think i would have just offset faces and called it a day. but thats the beauty of modeling, more than one way to get the results! nice work!

[@WhatMakeArt]

Thanks for sharing another solution with everyone, yes, many ways to model

Glad it helped, post any questions 👍

[@Lazy_Mango]

Thank you for this. I've been using fusion for a couple of years now but I never went through any form of teaching so I didn't know about the user defined parameters. I've been manually putting entering the dimensions in all constraints.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Glad it was helpful, I'm constantly learning new things that I never knew about Fusion 360 as well 👍

[@neetones]

This is extremely good.

Just keep modeling in Fusion 360 and soon you will know even more than this video

@@WhatMakeArt One tiny detail I didn't catch was how to export the 2 components so they print together?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Just select both of them and then go to file > 3D Print Then in the dialog box uncheck export to 3D printing utility Here is a video link showing how to export an STL from Fusion 360 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f17PpZyQmbp5haM

[@iancharnas]

Hi Friend! I was just watching various videos on this and suddenly I heard your voice! Haha great video, keep it up man!

[@WhatMakeArt]

Ha! Not quite rocket 🚀 skates 👍

[@iancharnas]

@@WhatMakeArt hehe. Question for you though - when you 3D print this, do you print using supports, and then just open and close the hinge a bunch until the supports disintegrate and fall out? Or how do you support the gap between the inner pin and the outer sleeve/bushing?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Cura tries to bridge it if you print without supports and turn on the experimental bridging in settings, Also printed it with supports and it is a bit crunchy but then moves fine, can also adjust the gap parameter in Fusion 360 based on real world prints

[@iancharnas]

@@WhatMakeArt very cool! I'm reading up on the bridging feature now. Thanks for the tip :-)

[@justintupicruz6324]

Good shit.

[@WhatMakeArt]

🛻

[@graphguy]

Anyone think of the design modification to make the hinge a racheting style action? One that allows the hinge to stay in place wherever you open it to?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Great suggestion, would be an amazing interesting printing place 3D printing hinge design will put it on the list

[@ChrisOndrovic]

Great video would this be the same method it the print orientation is changed so the pieces are printed flat on the bed?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Yes, I printed this flat on the print bed

[@ChrisOndrovic]

@@WhatMakeArt sorry might not have asked my question correctly. Will it work if you are not printing flat on the bed?

[@somerandomvideos645]

I already subscribed for a Shapr3d, but seeing how much features it lacks compared to Fusion, I'm sad :( is there a way to print this horizontally and keep it movable?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Best way to find out is to try to print it horizontal and then make adjustments to it based on the results

[@phoebus00]

Thank you for sharing. I’ve seen a few videos of print in place hinges, however I just can’t understand how the peach colored pin itself prints without any sort of support coming directly from the “bottom” floor of the gap? Basically what keeps the bridging pin material from slouching midway between the two endpoints? Also I have an SLA printer that obviously prints upside down, would this still work?

[@WhatMakeArt]

It's weird but it just kind of does. Every 3D printer is different and you should just try to print the print in place hinge for a few different settings and see how it turns out. It only takes a few minutes to print, you might be surprised

[@phoebus00]

@@WhatMakeArt Gotcha! TBH I’m kind of comforted to learn that it’s not just weird to me alone 😅. Thanks, I’ll def give it a shot if nothing but for the sake of my curiosity.

[@airbulb]

I'm also confused. I just got a printer and have not even set up up yet but if this is possible I'm amazed. Can't wait to try this. Thank you.

[@WhatMakeArt]

Yes, it seems weird but give it a go, it really works, post any successes or messups you have 👍

[@airbulb]

@@WhatMakeArt Set up my printer and immediately printed your hinge and of course it works. Amazing - thank you.

[@CraftedLayers]

Welp, I did it.... What I did I do not know.... But.... I did it. Thanks!

[@WhatMakeArt]

👍

[@louis7541]

How does the pin print without touching the other part of the hinge? using bridging?

[@WhatMakeArt]

It just goes really fast and that part doesn't fuse together, it is a little crunchy at first but then moves relatively freely

[@zero00tolerance]

This is great but holy cow I only know the basic of Fusion this is too advance for me, I wonder if you have a separate video showing how to do Parameter step by step for newbies in Fusion

can i use this hinge in one of my own creations?

[@WhatMakeArt]

Yes, you can use the print in place hinge in whatever you want 👍

[@bbrendon]

how do you print it? it's two bodies. Also, what about the joint?

[@WhatMakeArt]

To 3D print the print in place hinge, just export both the bodies and don't add supports in your slicer and it will likely print fine

it contained a lot of details within 7 minutes, i donno what your problem is. haven't got 7 minutes to learn a couple of things? yes, it could have been short like, 'just do it', but then it wouldn't be teaching anything, would it?j
