Nicely explaned and shown.

Thank you 🙂

[@JaimetheNomad]

This was great! I learned a handful of various tips and tricks both related and unrelated to sheet metal. Excellent vid, thanks!

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Glad it was helpful! I did make a beginners guide to sheet metal course that is a bit more indepth on my other site. SendCutSend has a $10 off link to is so if you plan to order parts it pays for itself.www.learneverythingaboutdesign.com/p/introduction-to-sheet-metal-design sendcutsend.com/lead

Thanks for the video. I was able to understand and follow along without a long winded explanation like alot of peole do

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Great to hear!

I am very greatful to have come across your channel, I dabble in 3d printing but I want to get into sheet metal design and fabrication at some point in the future.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Thanks henry! I plan on doing more sheet metal videos in the future but don't hesitate to ask questions.

[@poldelepel]

Great explanation! 13:55 Just noticed that the holes for the fan are not centered... 11:55 You drew a sketch on the biggest face, which is not parallel to the top face of the model. It project the center of the origin on the sketch out of center...

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Hi Stijn. Yes the holes are not centered. I modeled it based on a real part that was like that. and 11:55, true however the origin moves relative to each sketch. if i understand you correctly.

Can you do a video about joining two sheet metal parts together with alignment tabs. Like two L shaped pieces that lock together to make a square? Thanks!

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Great suggestion!

[@CNCMachinistEducationNetwork]

Very good tutorial. will use in class and maybe we can CNC plasma cut and bend in our New metal fab area

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Awesome!!

[@АлександрДанков-г8ы]

Thanks for the video! More lessons on sheet metal. The sides are crooked on the cutting sheet. The ones that were edited. Or should it be? When bending, everything will be fine.

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

Thanks, And yes they should be crooked in the flat pattern. It is like this because large face is at an angle. In other programs when making the flange you can edit the profile right there. Fusion doesn't have that yet so we had to do a could extra steps to make it work. One thing you can do to test is to print it out on paper and fold it on the bend lines. Once you have a Flat Pattern active you can create a drawing from that and the dashed bend lines will show. I will give some thought to more sheet metal videos and see what I can come up with.

How can bend that for you?

[@LearnEverythingAboutDesign]

If you don't have a finger brake you could upload it to an online place like Send Cut Send. There are many rapid sheet metal shops. With basic tools the best thing would be a vice and a few blocks of wood, or some "duck bill" vice grips could do the trick if its thin enough. Ideally would be a finger brake. Eastwood has vise mounted "press Brake" setups that work well for bending metal. They also sell setups for presses. You can get the job done if you are bending thin enough steel with some very basic tools, but the material will be a big factor in what will work and what wont.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign I am more thinking of leaving it to a company that have a machine like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4a5i4Glqrtklas
