[@bwselectronic]

A nice old typewriter. My dad had a typewriter repair business when I was a kid. I miss the old machinery from the past. He also had a printing business that used both old and new processes. I learned to use equipment that was used in the 1800s and equipment still used today

[@pipdesignshop]

It’s so helpful to watch you go through the process! It might seem tedious setting up all the parameters, but when you can go back and quickly adjust them, it makes sense.

[@FlavioDiniz]

The Fusion process is the most fun part for me, and seeing the end result printed and working is the cherry on top :)

[@micmaxian]

I'm a beginner at fusion 360 and you did a great job at showing off the proper way to do things, doing everything the smartest way and using parameters!

[@DylanRibb]

I don’t currently have a 3D printer but I’ve been considering purchasing one so that my kid and I can do projects together. I really enjoy how simple yet functional your projects are and your breakdown of the process you use! It’s pushing me toward actually getting a 3D printer because they seem super useful for repairs, etc.

[@MorleyKert]

Do it! Thanks for watching 😊

[@drew-ie9xw]

Two holes on the side of the cone will help with back pressure. Great job!

[@Zzafari7]

I did something like this a while back, found that the a 0.5 inch hole was perfect for good pressure and airflow, also works amazing for drying your car, mine did shoot out a few times so i ended up creating a TPU gasket to apply proper pressure

[@MorleyKert]

That’s awesome!

[@petiocskos]

I was thinking of buying a small electric blower but now I realized that my vacuum also has a blowing function, so i'm going to do this too. You just saved me a few bucks, thanks mate!

[@MorleyKert]

Awesome! Thanks for watching :)

[@zillaquazar]

I am just living watching you make your life more convenient one 3d print at a time

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for following along 😊

[@otherdogdesign8666]

The combination of digital design and actually experimenting with the physical product was well executed here. You are really showing how powerful iterative design can be. I was going to ask about the threads but you went and answered my question at the end of the video. Good job. 👍🏻

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Yeah the rapid prototyping that 3D printing allows is wonderful.

[@FilamentStories]

Beautiful typewriter and a great tool for cleaning up it that I’m sure will have many uses in the future. It's an attachment I could have used in the past on multiple occasions myself. Loved the Fusion tutorial. Product Online Design has some great content, I’ve watched many of his videos. I can’t wait to see what fun things you use the typewriter for!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! Their videos are great - the "Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days" was the first course I took to learn Fusion. I'm super excited to use the typewriter! Getting a new ribbon today.

[@RichardBronosky]

@FilamementStories sent me. ☮️❤️🌈

[@TheGraemeH]

You do an excellent job of quickly defining the problem you are trying to solve and the steps you are taking to solve it. Great work👍

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@JuniperandSixth]

Having the pressure lower than an air compressor may be a good thing. When I was cleaning up my sewing machine I read that the high pressure can damage sensitive parts, I’m guessing the same would be true for an old typewriter. Another great tutorial!

[@MorleyKert]

That’s a good point, I didn’t think of that! I’ve also heard it’s dangerous to blow dust off of your skin with an air compressor, as the pressure is so high it can push things into your skin.

[@2OO_OK]

@@MorleyKert That danger comes from blowing air into cuts in the skin which might introduce an air bubble that makes its way to the heart. Then there are "pranksters" that will pressurize a coworkers anus or vagina through clothing because they think it is "funny". Ruptured intestines are obviously a serious problem. Way back when type writers were state of the art they were cleaned by dipping the whole machine minus the key caps into hot petroleum solvent, and then re-oiled dipped in hot oil. Your method is much more sensible.

[@davidmaloney4860]

Very helpful fusion 360 comments as you were designing. Learned several new things. Please keep doing these type of projects that design things that interact with existing objects. Very enjoyable and informative.

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you, I definitely will!

[@onewhowatchesfires2673]

Love the way you explain your thinking in these videso while creating the sketches. Helping me alot with brute forcing my way thought modeling!

[@MorleyKert]

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching 😊

[@tmcquitty]

You could have also added additional holes in the body to give additional relief to the pressure, like home vacuums often do.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Great tutorial on multi start thread in Fusion360. Project is super cool idea. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@Deathbysnusnu125]

I designed a cap for my yeti can insulator. I did the threads the same way. Fit like a glove. I had a harder time getting the print in place hinge to work correctly. Maybe I should revisit it now I've learned a lot.

[@MorleyKert]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

[@alialkhudhayri2351]

great video, love the mini fusion lessons keep going !

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@HighCaliberCraftsman]

Nice job with the multi start threads Morley!

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for inspiring me to do it!

[@dean_duplantis]

Really cool Morley. I bet that quick connect will come in handy for future attachments you think up.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks Dean!

[@nickhilts2731]

Keep it up! Loving the content man!!

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you! I will 😊

[@loubano]

I enjoy your video and explanation so much !!!! Thanks a lot 😀😀😀👍

[@hrdcpy]

I'd hook up a flexible tubing so you have better dexterity when reaching tight places.

[@Masterof1ne]

This would be a sick series similar to the guy that does the computer fans! you could get subscribers to send you their designs and see which one is best!

[@TobiasSteinhausler]

Thanks

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Hey I am that friend at 8:05!!

[@MorleyKert]

Oh hey!

[@chaschuky999]

these videos are very well done, gonna be awesome to see your channel grow. These projects show some of the more mundane parts of 3d printing/cad in them just purely being functional/useful. Very well done. Also every time you use inches in fusion it triggers something deep within me saying "NOT INCHES IN FUSION"

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! Haha I know, I’m gonna switch to metric eventually, but it can handle either metric or imperial as inputs 😊

[@chaschuky999]

@@MorleyKert honestly have personally had issues with knowing how big something is when something is measured in inches, so ur vids have been helping with my approximation of inches lol. Just sounds so wrong when I see/hear a measurement be like 3/4 of an inch in fusion.

[@MrOner07]

nice fun project👍🏼❤️

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you!

[@RichardBronosky]

For slip fit interfaces like this, one or both are usually tapered. I didn't see you check for that, so I'm guessing you got lucky that the tube was the tapered one. For future projects, I suggest taking 4 diameter measurements. (Outer shallow, Outer deep, Inner shallow, Inner deep) Great tutorial regardless. Thanks!

[@MorleyKert]

Good point! Thanks for watching 😊

[@shmink2]

This is bizarre. Last night I decided to make an attachment to my vacuum so it can connect to the dust extractor on my circular saw and jigsaw. It's my first time using fusion 360 so this also served as a great tutorial.

[@MorleyKert]

What a coincidence! Glad you found it 😊

[@richardvanliessum4346]

Awesome content again! You make working with Fusion 360 seemed easy. It also learns me how that imperial system, although I stick to metric ;-)

[@MorleyKert]

Thank you so much! One of these days I'll make the switch to metric haha.

[@avaviel]

So weird seeing someone doing 3d printing in inches! Which for context I'm in the US and use inches and feet for my engineering graphics detailing job. But 3d printing is purely metric for me. I really love your style for creating though. Thank you for the extensive parameter use.

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks for watching!

[@WhyNotKevin]

Imperial measurements bite again 😉 lol

[@hiroshrosh3535]

I'm sure i am not the first to notice but you look like Adam Ragusea

[@wrathofcell]

ive really been wanting a 3d printer and learn this cad tech, obviously this stuff isnt cheap but what are good starter options.

[@MorleyKert]

There's too many 3D printer options to go into here, but Fusion 360 is free for personal use!

[@EKUL34]

You already had the built in clip connection I fail to see what the added benefit of a threaded connection is when changing to a different attachment

[@MorleyKert]

I talk about it at 13:01 :)

[@EKUL34]

@@MorleyKert Sorry mate, didn't quite make it to the very end, that's my bad. Good stuff

[@ge2719]

depends how many nozzles he makes, if he makes a bunch then over time the extra plastic needed to cover the default attachment might add up. but then he could also just design the rest of the nozzles to be shorter and just work with the clip attachment. the biggest hurdles with 3d printing is you have to design things yourself a lot of the time, and you might get an idea for something that at first you think is useful, but might not turn out to be useful at all, or just not as useful as you thought, and you end up changing your design only after you tests those ideas and learn from them. though i also get the impression its supposed to serve as a lesson in creating threads in fusion.

[@MorleyKert]

@@EKUL34 thanks for watching!

[@briandezurick5271]

I’m still waiting to hear a problem you couldn’t solve with your 3D printer. I’m thinking I’ll be waiting a while

[@MorleyKert]

Thanks bro 😊

[@FilamentStories]

I second Brian on that!

[@RichardLBartlett]

Not to shit all over 3D printing but this same thing could have been accomplished with an existing attachment, a straw, and some duct tape.

[@cosmefulanito5933]

Please use the Metric System as all the humans on 21 century and in this world do.
