Big smile when you did the prototype reveal!

[@adambergendorff2702]

I had commented on this video 1 yr ago, just watched it ago, and had to say again it really is a great example of fusion and 3d printing.

[@billjaquish7366]

This is exactly what I needed for a similar project. Thank you very much.

[@guillermogomez4031]

Great video sir! I enjoyed your walk thru the process, and of course you kept it real and showed the trial and errors! Subscribed!

[@PastaDNA]

I had to laugh at the box of prototypes. I thought I stood alone with stacks of miscalculations! Very humbling - thank you

[@DesktopMakes]

😆 I have a box of those for every project!

[@ArtLieberman]

I really do appreciate showing us the number of prototypes you went through. Glad to see that I'm "normal." And thank you for the video. I've picked up several techniques that I didn't know were available in 360.

[@michelluccote]

Thanks for the video. I've been fighting the thread tool to try and get an RV hose to fit. Just couldn't make it work. You solution is exactly what I needed and my first use of the coil feature. Excellent.

[@markustube]

Well done and super helpful - thanks!

[@spikekent]

Great video with superb explanations ... as always. Indeed, we all have many 'prototypes' for each design :-)

[@RavinProps]

Awesome video :) Refreshing to see a tutorial with the end part of prototypes. Helps us feel less like failures haha :) Thanks :)

[@DesktopMakes]

Haha, I have a box of those for every model I make.

[@3DPrintingFreak]

Thank you, this may become very good to know next comming days!!

[@StevePotgieter]

That was very well done. Thanks a bunch.

[@odinata]

You rock dude! I LOVE your teaching style!

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks Odinata!

[@stingray4567]

Thanks a lot! This video just helped me make some missing nuts for a child toys. Got the thread sizing bang on first try!

[@UDoIt2]

This was clear. Thanks for that.

[@adambergendorff2702]

another great video, thank you

[@RavinProps]

I just bought the training course too I look forward to watching it tomorrow evening :)

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks, enjoy the course.

[@Michael-ie7hp]

Thanks and ton, this worked great for me.

[@christiangoand7213]

awesome bro... coil was what i was looking for :)

[@Mariajitopalacio]

You´re awesome! Thank you so much. I´ll follow you right now

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks Maria!

[@asnowski]

Thank you for a wonderfully helpful video!

[@DesktopMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@golightlycycling6631]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial of sorts... helped out big-time with a project.

[@DesktopMakes]

Glad to hear it helped out. Thanks.

[@FlokrollProjects]

Dude, thank you very much :D

[@palewriter1856]

Wow - someone else who takes a few iterations to get their one-off projects just right? Yeah - that's WAY encouraging! Thunk I were the Lone Stranger! Not really - that's one of the "features" (as Mikro$ift might spin it) of 3D printing - easy iterations with short cycle times let your work it until it's good enough for who it's for! Anyway, thanks for the idea with the coil thing - looks like what I need to revisit a low priority project that I looked at and promptly set aside some time ago - a nice aluminum water bottle that somehow got separated from its screw top - while being hooked up with the WRONG top with totally WRONG threads - so someone else out there somewhere has the exact inverse problem as mine, it would appear. Odd thing about it is that there are TWO threads, each starting at 180 from the other. So a double dose of kudos on ye! Take care!

[@ChrisOndrovic]

Nice video, great explanation and presentation of information

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks Chris!

[@123kkambiz]

Though simple but excellent video with great explanation .

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks.

[@SamBirchenough]

Nice video.. looks familiar :)

[@werre2]

Great idea to use coil

[@DesktopMakes]

Thanks Sporde

[@deonholt]

Hi. Thanks for another great tutorial. Watching it today, 8 Feb 2022. What is the advantage using a coil over the thread feature F360 has?

[@DesktopMakes]

The Coil tool lets you design Custom threads in case the Thread option doesn't have the exact thread profile you need.

[@kyawtunsein6364]

Great video man. Quite helpful. You said 110mm for the cap to fit 108 mm, i am like 'wow, do i also need that much clearance?'. Then, you shell out 2 mm in Fusion 360. So, basically 108mm for 108mm :D

[@michaels3003]

No. It was an outer shell, not the default inner shell. One mm clearance (on each side if centered) is about 1 percent of the inner diameter.

[@davidkempton2894]

@@michaels3003 Well done for correcting that guy's misunderstanding. Great video BTW. I am enjoying your Udemy course at present. Just watched the soap dish episode. 🙂

[@darkfrei2]

Why the Fusion 260 cannot make coil with custom shape, with given profile drawn in the sketch?

[@hanslain9729]

How do you get that yellow circle around your pointer? Is that windows or fusion?

[@DesktopMakes]

Hi Hans, it's from the screen recording software I'm using which is Camtasia.

[@2muchofyou]

this would be useful if you showed how to sweep a custom thread profile without it bugging out

[@dmccallum35111]

Why did you choose to use coil instead of thread?

[@sidekick3rida]

Store the insulation inside the cap

[@anthonycruz4435]

Do you offer a lesson for splitting a current model(YODA( or such and then making it a container with costumers threads?

[@DesktopMakes]

I don't have such a tutorial but I would approach it by importing the model, convert it to brep, apply the shell command to hollow it out and then adding geometry to make your threads. Watch my Editing a High Poly stl tutorial to see how to edit imported stl files.

[@anthonycruz4435]

Desktop Makes Thank you Vlad! That's a great start and will watch the video as well.

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

Revers3 thread?

[@happykilllmore]

This the hack way to do it. Do it right

[@DesktopMakes]

What's the right way?

[@icimdengelen741]

Please can you make me 2"24 tpi in and out for sct telescope.

[@know_ivan]

this is not a custom thread. this is one from generator (triangular profile, not custom)

[@rudisoft]

Does it fit?

[@DesktopMakes]

Yup, threads nicely.

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

Ahh the thumbnail says costum ughhh

[@DesktopMakes]

Hey, it could be used as part of a costume. I guess it would still be spelled wrong 🤷🏾‍♂️. Well, at least I got it right on the Title. 1 for 2 ain't bad?

[@AgnosiaAgnosis]

@@DesktopMakes hahaha editing is rough sometimes!

[@funkynerd_com]

I came here for costum threads and all I got was custom threads? Disappointed.

[@DesktopMakes]

Ha! You got catfished!
