Fusion 360 - Handle Workflow (CAD Challenge August 2021)

[@feelfreefpv]

as you point out the draft command makes the radius shift along the post part. That is not in the blueprint. I made it have the same radius all the way (a little bit more finicky by surface modeling) and therefore ended up about 0,8g heavier :) I really enjoy your challenge videos!

My first thought was to do a sweep for the mid-section. Totally forgot about revolve there! Much simpler without having to make a path.

[@KristianLaholm]

I try my best to implement the feature hierarki of Extrude > Revolve > Sweep > Loft > "Other stuff". It's easy to be blinded by all the cool new feature :)

@@KristianLaholm yeah, first two is the most basic ones, that can be used in 80% cases =)

Nice design! I would like to add draft on the sides also. One thing I want to point, if you want to print it on the side, then fillets not the right tool, because it will make overhang. Better to use chamfered sides.

[@AdrienLecharpentier]

Thank you very much for your video! This was really helpful. I changed the second esquisse to have the hole, because I needed the holes to have a specific distance and it worked perfectly. Made it a bit bigger on some dimensions.

[@noweare1]

wow, that was awesome, you know your stuff.

[@PanopticMotion]

I'm new to Fusion 360 and CAD. I love your approach and pace. Thank you!

[@KristianLaholm]

Thank you :)

Sideway printing holes can be done with square, hex or octagon with no or simple support as an alternative to round, here a square might be nice. On the visible part for the screw head, and then 3d print plug if it needs to be hidden. Nice to see the workflow! 💪👍

[@KristianLaholm]

My Printer hade no problem with the small holes in this design, but "simplifying" holes like you suggested is a good design intent for 3D printing 👍 It's no problem designing stuff that will give a lot of headache then manufacturing :)

[@alexeyrybakov949]

I've made holes with additional construction plane and 'hole' command. For some strange reason Fusion refuses to make draft for me, so instead I've used surface by sweep.

Kristian - Thanks, for the Video, Solution and Explanation. Just for fun and your amusement, I posted my SIX element solution, but I think KZbin deleted it because it contained a Fusion 360 File Link.

[@KristianLaholm]

Yeah YT has started hating links. Reducing and playing with workflow is how i learned the software :)

[@WA0UWH]

@@KristianLaholm - If you are interested, I could maybe republish the link, without a prefix and containing spaces that you would have to add and delete.

[@KristianLaholm]

I think other people also will be interested in seeing you workflow :)

@@KristianLaholm - I could not find a way to make li work, YT removes my comment.

[@KristianLaholm]

@@WA0UWH I could see you file (YT emails all comments) looks good :) I avoid 3D sketching because it's hard to fully define the sketch.
