Keep going please

Love this series. Just finished watching the whole thing after going through a udemy course. Your videos smoke the ones on Udemy. If you throw up a "pro" video course with more advanced techniques in a longer format on udemy or your website or anywhere else--I would totally buy. Seeing the quality of these I would feel confident in dropping $300-$500 on such a course if you ever get around to it!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks! I do offer many courses and our popular 'Masterclass' via the PDO Academy - academy.productdesignonline.com/bundles/pdo-academy Note that the Masterclass is currently geared towards Woodworking type projects, but working on 3D printing specific one. Can you share more specifics on the types of projects you're working on?

[@chir0pter]

@@ProductDesignOnline I am looking to start one that will use carbon fiber tube stock, heim rod ends, metal fasteners, rope, and fabric. Might use 3d printing and sheet metal during prototyping

[@Izzy-good]

I have recommended your series to so many people, I was able to pick up fusion360 very quickly thanks to your videos!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for your support. Appreciate you 😎

[@rbyt2010]

Nicely done

[@UnknownUnrecognized]

It took me few months, but today I finished watching all tutorials from your very first video:) I would say 60% I did follow with Fusion and printed fine. Others just watched to learn theory. Thank you for your videos.

[@chir0pter]

thanks, this is a nice addition.

[@FadDog-dy9kc]

Keep going ❤

[@bosr]

That was beautiful, as the entire series, many thanks!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it :)

[@CraigHollabaugh]

I like this Day 25. I've been struggling through using the surface tools. Thanks Kevin.

[@andrewgj8]

I was just wondering if you'd ever finish this series, and boom you post this today. Very glad to see a new installment today, it's been a while since I've used Fusion so I'll need to restart my learning... Regardless thank you so much for making these tutorials, and best of luck with wrapping up the series!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Appreciate you 🙏🏼😎

[@adminadmin8992]

It looks complex but it was to easy to make. Thanks for the updated episode. 5 days left.

[@leeware4722]

So seriously helpful. Thank you Kevin!

[@peter.stimpel]

surface modelling aka witchcraft ... need to dive into this much more. Thanks for the explanation!

[@pauldecastro1523]

Hi long time no see! Thank you that youre still there! Keep going !

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks for your support! More lessons coming soon 😄

[@broj]

Kick ass course Kevin. Seems like I've caught up. Assume there are 5 more coming? Would be awesome to have a video covering designing around parts like case around an Arduino or light matrix.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Day 26 will be release sometime tomorrow. Rest of the days are being edited :)

[@KnapfordMaster98]

YES! Been waiting for this one, lately I've been doing insane lofts and joins in solid mode lol.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Start using surfaces 😃 You got this!

[@bertkooijmans4769]

YES EXACTLY THE TUTORIAL I WANT.

[@timp2433]

Yes, more on surfaces please.

[@aj-yk9vt]

Thank you for the time and dedication it takes to make these videos

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thank you. Appreciate you!

[@ezecly]

Hell yea

😁👋

[@fanatixx]

Thanks for this course, bought you a coffee :)

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Appreciate the coffee! Thanks for all of your support 😎

[@RohanMohanty350]

Thank you for the video was really anticipating it while waiting for this i tried your other videos like practical prints and the name plate project. really looking forward to the next video. please make videos where you do some complex projects as well.

[@javelinexile]

Trying this. I have good uses for using surfaces but always have trouble. your tutorial helps but I have trouble with the trim, I select the cutting surface then the surface to trim but the whole surface thats supposed to be trimmed disappears what is wrong? Edit: I see. the cutting surface has to also cut through an edge of the surface being cut or it won't work

[@Yoggoth]

Of course it is easier to copy single surface than the solid body. But in that case you need to thicken 3 bodies instead of 1, so it may be even more expensive.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

It's not and I've tested and confirmed that with the Fusion team. Pattern/copy is more taxing than thicken due to how parametric features are processed.

[@filetdelumiere5037]

Thanks a lot. That's the video I was waiting for :) Question: What if we want a non constant thickness across the radius of the blade?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Several ways to achieve that. The easiest that I could explain via text would be to have another loft below the first one, then connect them with a Loft or patch tool. You can use additional 'rails' with the loft if looking for very specific shape.

[@filetdelumiere5037]

@@ProductDesignOnline Thank you very much ! Seems not so easy but I think I will try...

[@ProductDesignOnline]

@@filetdelumiere5037 Keep me posted! you got this :)

[@happywanderer5632]

how would you model a varying blade thickess? most props have a thicker root. thx

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Several ways to achieve that. The easiest that I could explain via text would be to have another loft below the first one (that lofts to the same or thinner end point), then connect the sides with a Loft or patch tool. You can use additional 'rails' with the loft if looking for very specific shape.

[@happywanderer5632]

@@ProductDesignOnline Thanks! I'd be very interested in seeing how to model the Schist disk, an ancient artifact with complex geometry. It looks to me like the mold for a lost wax casting.

[@DangBruhY]

Love your videos, but you are going WAY too fast. I can't keep up.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm always trying to balance the speed, but unfortunately KZbin loves the ones at this pace. I recommend adjusting the playback speed from the settings icon. Many also find it helpful to watch it all the way through once, then a second time as they follow along.

[@DangBruhY]

@@ProductDesignOnline I appreciate the video, even though you go fast. I've learned so much from you. Thanks!
