How to Make Anything #2 : Modeling a Board Game in Fusion 360

[@dankiememie]

Yo Devin. This series is gonna be awesome. Wish me luck. I’m going for my solidworks certification on thursday

[@Zetl3D]

Christian Knuth good luck I️ guess

[@dankiememie]

Jason Ledon yep. And then my professional in a couple more week

[@dankiememie]

Jason Ledon there is. My certification has been long overdue. I’ve been proficient with solidworks for about 5 years now. I just never took the test

[@Crits-Crafts]

keeping my fingers crossed for you mate :) I'm sure you can do it :)

[@matthewboyer4212]

Good luck!

[@ryguysuperfly]

Even though I don't have a 3d printer, I still love watching these and making things in fusion

[@peridotscoutelijahmoore9182]

Your channel and others has inspired me to take drafting and design classes at school,(9th grade), and because of how much I already knew from your channel, I had a head start and I am excelling in class. Thank you for showing me how to get fusion 360 for free, I have been looking for a quality CAD program to use at home. I really hope this series continues.

[@stevendetton2105]

May I ask why you have part of a thumbnail from Jaiden Animations "Flirting" video as your account pic?

[@littlenyancat5754]

May i ask you why you are interested in such information (but chill its for a class)

[@kamo7293]

This idea can be expanded on and you could practically make any board games magnetic. An idea I had many years ago that I made in my d&t class was a portable board game of chess /checkers where the pieces were round discs with the chess symbols lasered on to them. The idea is that if you want to play checkers just flip the pieces over. When I get a 3d printer I might make that as my first project.

[@Marcel2278]

One of the best tutorials ive ever seen. At first i questioned some of the measurements only to see you change it later to something more realistic to teach people how to edit and fix mistakes or missteps.

[@DieMedienwelt]

Just a few days ago, I visited a historic site here in Germany where I learned about this game. Now, Devin shows us how to make it. Very nice!

[@MichaelAlm]

So excited about this series! Just bought my first printer and I can’t wait to get started

[@mr.frogman9939]

The other thing I love about fusion is being able to press a button and turn your 3D model into a scaled drawing easily. It's a wonderful piece of software and I'm bloody glad you're doing this series thanks man

[@syrax6508]

This was perfect timing for me, just picked up F360 and have just started to learn how to use it. As a complete beginner to 3D modeling I found this video really easy to follow (although I did feel you were rushing a little towards the end and glossing over a few steps) Looking forward to the next videos in the series, keep up the great work.

[@overra]

Just bought and received the Anycubic Kossel as my first printer, thanks for the awesome channel!

[@geordietoon6713]

I was thinking about getting this machine but I was worried about some of the reviews from Gearbest (the website I was planning on purchasing it from). Did you purchase it from here and, if so, how was your experience?

[@ryankowtecky9680]

Geordie Toon I purchased mine through Gearbest and had no issues. It took about two weeks to arrive (I live in Northern Canada), and was a blast to assemble. As long as you're willing to tinker with it, it's totally worth it. Be sure to join the Anycubic Kossel group on Thingiverse, they're a great resource! Best of luck.

[@Cryostatic]

I am apparently getting that printer as a Christmas gift from my family. I'm excited as this is the first 3D printer that has been affordable enough to even dream of getting for me.

[@No-pm4ss]

Mine should arrive any time now :D Any good tips I should know before I start assembling?

[@Cryostatic]

Anki Building was actually fairly straight forward. The instructions were pretty good. Just make sure you set aside a lot of time for assembly. I think it took me around 9 hours to assemble. This was my first 3D printer build but I also normally work with electronics. I highly recommend looking into an auto Leveling system. I still need to purchase a switch to do mine but leveling is the most time consuming. Also I gave up on the demonic surface they give you to build on. I use thick painters tape since I had parts get stuck to the build plate and could not free them. Hope that helps some. ^_^

[@subscriber8881]

Perfect timing for this series! Been trying to learn Fusion 360 and you just gave me the best tutorial ever! Thanks for making this series! Keep up the great work!

[@dwang085]

great start to the series. Looking forward to more. You're the best

[@HTXMr]

Simple, clean, entertaining and a very nice print. Nice work!

[@shellystone4603]

This is a great project, Devin! My favorite one so far. Thanks for sharing! I plan on making one to take on holidays to play with my nieces and nephews. They will love it! (Likely, they will want to keep it - I better print 2.)

[@ChunkySteveo]

Great tutorial, and great project too! Good for beginners, and useful for people who know a lot more as a good recap. Need to make one of those Rota games now!!

[@kcleo-]

Devin where were you when I had to learn this in high school. You would have been a super dope teacher!!!

[@MrCordero808]

Thank you for this series.i am learning so much! Love the channel also!

[@Cryostatic]

I need more of these videos. @_@ I had so much fun last weekend just playing with 3D modeling.

[@tim-1997]

I love this series!! Please keep it up you really help and inspire me and i understand 3d modelling so much better now.

[@SimplyDudeFace]

I’m glad you are making these videos. Watching you use solid works was the reason I initially subscribed to your channel. Seeing you do the same thing in fusion 360 has inspired me to start fiddling around with my 3D printer again. Here is a question I would love to see you to address - making reusable parts that you import into other designs. I have been working on some space ship designs that all use the same engine but I run into lots of issues when i import multiple copies of the engine into a design or edit the original engine design. The results never turn out quite as expected. Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks. :-)

[@OrangeC7]

You're amazing. I don't have a 3D printer, but I am having fun modeling with Fusion 360 anyways! Plus, the Windows 10 3D Builder app lets you ship your creations to the door, so simply transferring it to there and ordering it would probably work if I ever wanted to.

[@stickmanunited4061]

Guys we need to team up and view devins videos 1000 times each so he can aford more printers and he can create even better content. Wait thats not possible he is already perfect.

[@amayajimenez3179]

This was super easy to follow. Can't wait to learn more! Thanks!

[@LoganHenry]

Thanks for the tutorial! I followed along easily. I think Devin had us select all those parts for extrudes and fillets for good practice, but it drove me crazy. I did some research and instead of a circular pattern on the sketch, complete 1 section, select them, then Create > Pattern > Circular Pattern.

[@drpipe]

This is gold..wow super Usefull instructions for 3D print folk..really good I look forward to going thru your tutorials on fusion thanks learnt stacks in this in minutes.

[@backpocket718]

Awesome video. Can't wait to see more. Gotta be the easiest tutorial I've seen out there yet.

[@rolfv.s.2870]

That game looks really really cool. I personally use sketchup just a little easyer

[@Sandra-zu4ff]

This guy is so talented and creative? It’s videos like this when you wish you could click like multiple times!

[@stuffstudio6508]

I watched this after I downloaded Fusion, and even though I don't have a 3D printer, I really enjoy making stuff in Fusion. Anyway, my friend got a 3D printer and I'm really exited about printing, so I am exited for part 2 (3?). It's been a month since you uploaded, so please hurry up. Thank you!

[@SeanLumly]

Ok, it's time to comment.. I think you are an incredible talent, and great designer, and a very informative and entertaining youtuber.

[@mbrsart]

I don't even have a 3D printer yet, and I had a blast following along. Hopefully I'll get myself a printer soon :D

[@Urk0ZzZ]

Nice, this is just what i wanted to learn fusion 360, we wait for more with more complexity!

[@teamworklab9610]

Your videos are really comprehensive and helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. :)

[@djdontgetcooked]

You are extremely talented! Good Job!

[@sloth7ds]

Much thanks for the series. I made my own version of the board as well, just need to get the printer to make it. Looking at a MonoPrice Select Mini v2.

[@No-pm4ss]

Wow! This was such a good and clear tutorial. Looking forward to seeing more of this series in the future :)

[@larkuel]

I would love to see more fusion tutorials. Thanks for this.

[@JAYTEEAU]

Devin, that was fantastic. Keep up the great work. Cheers, JAYTEE

[@NinaS___]

Thanks for sharing all your inspiring videos! I have used the file you shared this time, and with some other stuff I have printed, but will definitely have a go at Fusion360 as well! Made this game for my son, and he is happy with it. My only issue when making it, is that some of the magnets did end up upside-down while I glued them down, so I had to get them out (after they were super-glued...), and place them once more. When I make another, I will keep a magnetic sheet under the board, so all magnets will turn the same way. (Btw, as mentioned at MyMiniFactory as well, the description says 16 magnets, but 15 is enough. I know you changed it on MMF, but I just wanted to mention it here as well, in case someone will make their own, and go out to buy the right amount of magnets.)

[@Phoenix540]

For your next instalment could you do a tapered thread flange with nut for a custom shelf system that uses pipes to separate the shelves? You can use this to show some more advanced design methods in Fusion 360 while building something useful (especially for people who have multiple printers and nowhere to store them)

[@channtron]

The filler for the inlay of the game graffics can be also be make with a circular pattern (easier for me than selecting all the corners manually)

[@babyblue4220]

Fusion is just like inventor! I use inventor because I'm a student in school still

[@EaziGX]

Thanks for the videos. Looking forward to the next ones. Perhaps you could show how support material works too sometime. Thanks.

[@MrDownRater]

Cool! It's like the older version of Nine Men's Morris. ;)

[@231hedwig]

Hey devin... I’m considering getting a 3D printer and I am trying to decide between the mono price mini v2 and the maker select v2 from monoprice.. I want something cheap and that’s already put together. I like the mini v2 but I feel like it would limit me because of the small base. So I was thinking about the select v2 but I don’t know if it would be worth the extra $80. Please help!!

[@omarmontemayor7]

Dude, you are my hero!!

[@Minecrafter-uh6qv]

My first time following this, my brain hurt, mistakes were made, but i did it! thank you!!!

[@manuelniederstrasser3415]

awesome video. makes it really easy for beginners like me😀

[@tyfleming5216]

Thank you! This is super cool! When I try to print game pieces or anything of that size they don't stick to the glass plate. They either come off or if it is a bigger print the edges curl up. I use isopropyl alcohol to wipe down the board. What should I do?

[@make.anything]

If your bed is already perfectly leveled, I would suggest applying Aquanet hairspray or gluestick to the bed. It will make the bottom surface less shiny, but it should help parts stay down.

[@WhiteIce2112]

How in the world do you have such steady handwriting. I cant make letters normal for my life.

[@duplollamaree1250]

woop! love this channel. i can't make stuff like that yet, but i'm aiming to!

[@3dpprofessor]

There's another similar game I know of called "Nine Men Morris".

[@timmontanus4311]

Hey Devin, did you ever used inventor before? It's also from autocad and I use it at my school. At first I thought it was not as good as fusion360 but now I think it's better than fusion360. You can maybe try it out sometime in the future😀

[@imadmorsli2871]

we use inventor at school too

[@ayylamow5109]

What calipers do you use? Looking for a good pair myself.

[@jackschoonover6418]

Devin, can you review the Lulzbot Mini? My school has one.

[@diegoreis8377]

hii Devin, can I use Autocad to do this?? I want to start 3d printing , and i have alredy installed Autocad on my PC. And say hi to brasil, i am from Brasil

[@AncientMantis]

Brilliant. Thanks for a great detailed tutorial.

[@amirsamir302]

Awesome video! One question, how much infill did you use? I want to print this. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@khaosproduction1645]

I thought of an improvement to make this board game more ergonomical and easier to use if you're at a table. Just make a detachable stand to raise it up a couple of inches from the table. Hopefully this is a good idea.

[@AnityEx]

I'll follow these series of tutorials! (very helpfull thanks!)

[@nosoundallecho5960]

Could you use SolidWorks instead of Fusion 360? I'm more familiar with SolidWorks than I am with Fusion.

[@tigerman1778]

I wish these were out when i was learning

[@Marcel2278]

Oh hey devin i must ask, as a 3d modeler who is proficient in maya, 3ds max and a little of blender (and a few sculpting programmes too) is it possible to import those models into fusion and print them? Hope to oneday get a printer myself and would like to know i can sculpt a character and print it for like dnd or whatever. Speaking of which it would be cool to make dice, any tips on that?

[@make.anything]

+marcel jardim you could print files directly from those programs, but you could also import them into fusion to make certain changes

[@Tewsa]

I wonder if theres a way to completely randomize something in solidworks. if not (and there probably isnt) you should find a way to make a bunch of really random organic shapes and find a way to make them into something.

[@elimarks969]

Hey devin, I am trying to switch from my old cad system to fusion, but have run across an issue. Do u know how to switch the setting from pan view to full orbit when you press the scroll button on the mouse? It is driving me insane. Thanks.

[@steelforbrains]

Great tutorial

[@TheAdrian6321]

Can you use AutoDesk Inventer instead or does it have to be Fusion 360?

[@samwhite8483]

creat a Circular twist container so that the outer container will spin infinitely around the inner container

[@Bostonbowser]

On the subject of board games, pocket83 made a game he calls Path that I decided to 3d print for personal use using only the information in his video

[@toolzshed]

This is awesome dude!

[@rustenlyman7089]

What version of solidworks do you have

[@meganweber5057]

I know you can do some sort of motion simulation in Fusion 360. Is it possible to simulate 2 objects attracting each other, like magnets?

[@ProGaming-bd3nz]

Megan Weber I don’t really know at the moment.. there isn’t one tool for that but I think you might be able to do it if you do the_______ (don’t know what it’s called at the moment but look for it in the joints section). If you put in the right dimensions you might be able to

[@reddcube]

Just recommend you do the rotation pattern as the last thing. ie include the filets as part of you sketch. Great video, but you might want to replan execution ordering.

[@staror890]

Great video

[@TelekineticKhai]

Fun and clear! Thanks!

[@RELLOH-]

U should put these on your store. I’d love to buy this awesome game.

[@thetabuilds]

does it work with 6x2 magnets

[@SheepUndefined]

One thing I've wondered for a while, how come there's always a little "outline" on the build plate when you print stuff? Is that something the printer does automatically? Or...if so, then what's the purpose behind it?

[@elimarks969]

Alex Drayko It is known as a skirt and it helps prime the nozzle to make sure filament is coming out. This is pretty standard in most slicers.

[@LcrispyYT]

I have been watching this channel for a while now and want to start 3d printing, I was wondering if there is a good 3d printer that i can get for reasonably cheap, and how exactly do you switch philaments part way through a print, is it actually quite simple or is there some trick to doing it? Could someone answer or could it be in the next video please?

[@make.anything]

+Lcrispy YT it depends on the printer.. Many have a built in option to change filaments, or you can simply pause the print and do it manually

[@LcrispyYT]

Thanks!

[@predmaster]

In my case, i have a printer with Marlin firmware. It have a command you can put in the gcode to pause de print, and change the filament (M600). I think another firmwares has similar commands too.

[@ProGaming-bd3nz]

Lcrispy YT anything with custom g-code would be good. I have a Robo R1+, and it’s a good printer to start out with and swap out nozzles and such. It isn’t that great for switching filament though. You can’t see where you are at in the print.

[@kawiwi9797]

A good-ish cheap 3d printer I’m getting (99.99 USD) Is the STARTT 3d printer by imakr.

[@k3ys]

Yeah! I've had Fusion 360 sitting on my PC for far too long.

[@andershenriksen7592]

Hi Devin, how do i select multiple lines at once?

[@adapach2724]

What is the difference between fusion 360 and inventor pro

[@calebeicher5923]

this is super helpful but can you do the slicer next please?

[@mcdavta]

awesome video. keep it up

[@benniebond1754]

Thanks so much for this video!!!

[@jesterblackguarde8464]

Hey, Deving. I think it would be really awesome to see you design a custom PC cooling fan. I just wanna see what you can do with it.

[@draixmitchell9354]

I would love to see if you could make a Pisho board and pieces. I feel like it would be really interesting

[@fishpit000]

Could you make something out of just filament no pen or printer or anything?

[@jaimymachiels2606]

When comes the next video of the How to Make Anything serie

[@diegoreis8377]

Devin, can I use Autocad to do this?? Say hello to Brazil

[@Ammani-Yat]

well done 👍

[@dehanecownley1016]

When I try and apply the constraints in the middle of the video - to the two circles, my drop down menu (right click), does not give me the option to apply the "equal" constraint - any idea why? Thanks.

[@dehanecownley1016]

Cancel that - Went onto the fusion tutorials and they explained the parent / child concept which made it much easier to understand. Thanks

[@MB-bs3ji]

when winners of the 190k giveaway will be announced?

[@maksymb8498]

Great job !

[@Crits-Crafts]

I am so making one of these... I wonder if it could be done like connect 4 to make it bigger and harder? mmm intresting idea

[@Crits-Crafts]

no... it wouldnt work, adding an extra ring would mean it was a 5 in a row.. so yeh doable, but not a connect 5 lol

[@make.anything]

+Dan300891 -print&go- it would be so cool to reinvent the game with your own twist.. it's not easy making a fair and balanced game!

[@Crits-Crafts]

If I decide to make a 5 in a row version, I'll let you know how it goes. For now, I've ordered some magnets and I'm making this version :)

[@muzzammel4601]

i thought the magnet part was led, might look cool if it can light up

[@justinhendler4171]

What build plate cover should I️ use

[@3dreevl601]

What 3D Printer did you use for this print?

[@make.anything]

+3Dreevl anycubic i3 mega

[@3dreevl601]

[@theduksystemqwakers7946]

This is awesome

[@musicfreak6435]

Omg I just got my very first 3D printer for my birthday 2 days ago I got the TroxyP802ma
