Make Louvres in Fusion 360

[@Fusion360School]

Interesting, this is the first video I have seen of louvres with Fusion 360. 👍 I followed along and tried this myself. During shell, you can actually select the bottom face as well. That would automatically create the opening. This works well if your base is the same thickness as the louvres. The pattern command can take multiple features. So you can just do one lourve and pattern the extrude, fillets and shell features all at once.

Perfect timing, just designing an enclosure for electronics which will be placed beneath my 3d printer and I didn't want slots. Thanks for a nice brief to the point and informative video. I learned something today.

Super helpful. Simple but wasn't clear on the exact steps till I saw this. Thanks!

Pro tip: where you tried to click the edge to add to the fillet's existing selection set, if you hold control it will let you add to the existing one without having to add a new selection set (and re-enter the fillet radius)

what an excellent video, im making vents for my caravan using my 3D printer and this is exactly what i needed!

How did the print go? Planning the same for our van. Does it need support for the print?

Fusion 360 keeps freezing when trying to do "shell". What am I doing wrong?

[@SmithyScotland]

Thanks for the clear guide

can u please make a video of how to make the louvres in a circle on a bottom square for a fan vent

[@SlavaChrome]

Let me fit my workflow in you video. Pattern should be the latest function. You could make all features on one louvre, as fillets, shelling (Fusion360School pointed you right, you can choice other side, so you don’t need extrude it after) and then pattering features. Also if in future you decide to change thickness of plate to let’s say to 5mm, then you lost the hole. So better to use Distance > All.
