Hi, Felice. Glad to hear you enjoyed this tutorial. If you're just starting out with Fusion 360 then I would recommend working through my popular series, "Learn Fusion 360 in 30 Days!". I cover most of the core features along with key concepts as you build an object in each lesson. You can find that series in the playlists right here - bit.ly/learn-fusion360 Cheers, Kevin :)

This was exactly what I needed! I wanted a case for a step down converter but it is a little older and could not find a case for it anywhere. I loved some of the current designs but there were always too short, or too narrow.

Any chance for a 2023 update? the "Convert" and "Mesh to BREP" options don't exist in the right-click menu

[@middleclasspoor]

Great stuff! I didn't know about using the surface tools to work with a STL file. The "merge faces" command looks like it could be an enormous time saver. I remember Brad Tallis had a similar video where he demonstrated a tip he referred to as "The Wound And Heal" method. I remember being particularly impressed with this tip of his, but, I can't remember what it did to save me...(senior moment)! I currently have two printers - A Monoprice "Maker Select Plus" (a rebranded Wanhao Duplicator I3 Plus") and a Creality "Ender 3". I enjoy both printers thoroughly! The Ender 3 is just slightly more accurate than the Maker Select Plus. I consider both printers to be great printers for their price points. Hopefully, the fact the Ender 3 is slightly less than half the price of the Maker Select Plus and prints even a little better is a good indicator of where the 3D printer technology is headed! Thanks for the video.Looking forward to the next one!

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks for watching, middleclasspoor! The merge faces command is super helpful a lot of times. The "Wound and Heal" is good for corrupt files. If you ever import a file that will not convert (even to a surface body) then it's probably because of mesh triangles overlapping in a weird way or some other issue that Fusion 360 doesn't know how to process. This will also work for imported Solid files that have issues. This may be the video you're referring to - f360ap.autodesk.com/courses/direct-modeling/lessons/fixing-corrupt-models-with-wound-heal-method I have the same Monoprice printer. I'd agree that it is great overall. I had an Ultimaker2Go for a while but had given it up as it's build plate was simply too small and it seemed like everything I printed had to be sliced. I have some regrets though as that thing was a workhorse and always produced clean and consistent results. Thanks for your support! Cheers, Kevin :)

[@scottdodd7354]

This is one the the BEST tutorials I have ever viewed...... I have an Anet A8 and love every bit of it with all its flaws, or as I like to say 'challenges for me to improve it". I used to be a project eng/plc programmer/electronics fix all kind a guy in the PET injection molding field before I became disabled. I started looking for ways to keep my mind going and keep up in electronics field so I purchased a DIY 3D printer (the Anet A8) and fell in love with it. Then I just needed the software to make it all come together. Even started getting into 3D scanning. Without work laptops (with great software), I didn't have access to AutoCad. Didn't know about Fusion 360. Played with about 10 different programs (all on 30 day trials, of course) until I found Fusion 360 and WOW what a huge difference it made in printing and designing things to do with the printer. Some tutorials have been good, some no sound, some just a waste of time. But this one (and I am assuming the others are just as well made and informative) blows all the others away. To simplify a huge software program into easily digested instructions ( and understandable even with an engineering background) is a great task and you have done well. I thank you and look forward to seeing the other videos.....

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Thanks, Scott! I'm glad you not only found Fusion 360 but found my channel. It sounds like you have the perfect background/experiences to work on some 3D printing projects. If you're on Facebook, I have a Fusion 360 group (Fusion 360 Hobbyists with Kevin Kennedy). I'd love to see some of the projects you work on. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@mattbean8076]

[@aliridha6789]

Hi, i have a quite weird issue here, even though i have stop recording the design history, the mesh to BRep option is still not available

[@Build_the_Future]

Same here, did you find a fix?

[@sumone1930]

Me too. Bery frustrating

[@Luditer]

What worked for me was: Go to MESH Tab > MODIFY > Convert Mesh. Hope this helps

[@theboz1419]

I also have the same issue. I created a design in Sketchup and for some reason I only have the STL available. So uploaded to Fusion and I follow this I don't get the option as shown in this video. I also tried the convert to mesh as mentioned and that too didn't work

[@Sicktrickintuner]

It’s been updated

[@EvertvanIngen]

*Mesh to BRep conversion* Warning: This mesh contains a large number of facets. Mesh surface content: Facets = 828060 Conversion has been aborted

[@gagalngetoptv]

Same here, it seems the file too complicated to convert

[@3dPrintingMillennial]

Every time 😔

[@AHSEN.]

The solution to that is available on the original video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4CZmZWljryhnK8&lc=z22bsf2qlzvfvbmbn04t1aokg12xunrf0qax3snabxjpbk0h00410&feature=em-comments

[@Chris_Bro_aka_MR_PLAT1NEM]

"STL to Solid" I've got an Ender 3 and an Ender 3 Pro and I love both of them. Using fusion 360 allows me to design custom parts for myself that I've been working on for years. Both printers and my Desktop never shutdown or go Idle for very long at all. Thanks for these videos!

[@abrahambatres8716]

STL to SOLID. Thank you so much for all the videos you make. I just started learning Fusion 360 about a month ago but thanks to your videos, I am already able to make pretty interesting things and am able to help my classmates when they have problems making 3D models!

STL to Solid.. I'm looking to have an automotive part scanned for reproduction as it no longer exists to purchase (classic restoration) STL and OBJ are the two resulting formats from the scan. so this video totally helped me decide to pull the trigger on the scan. I'm going to get the STL file and repair the damaged areas on the part ( with fusion 360) and then either 3D print it, or have it machined into a mold. thanks so much for the time and effort to make these videos. It does make a difference.. and most dont realize how much effort is needed to do it.

I just recently found your channel and all I can say is thank you. Your tutorials are great. Not too fast, easy to understand, concise, informative and well presented. Thank you. I hope you continue to do more of these. While I have a few other fusion channels I watch only yours and one other I feel are really worth watching. I am looking forward to finding time to watch your older videos but already some of your topics have covered things I was curious about or left less than satisfied with the presentation and understanding of the feature. Keep up the good work!

The goal of the series is to bring you up to speed with all of the core concepts and features in Fusion 360. You can find that in the playlist here - bit.ly/learn-fusion360 What do you plan on using Fusion 360 for? (3d printing, woodworking, etc) Cheers, Kevin :)

[@CandorPerlicious]

@@ProductDesignOnline thank you for your reply. I will be looking at your videos in more detail when I have a few moments to sit and watch. I use fusion 360 for modeling things I want to 3d print. I've already made 3 different Bluetooth speakers, replacement parts for my vacuum cleaner and a 3d printed rubberized water house adapter used for gold mining, among the other things I've done. My process had been slow and sloppy but videos like yours help me to stream line the process.

"STL to Solid” is an important thing. Thanks for the tutorial. I have a Anycubic I3 Mega. I'm really happy with it, I can just complain that it's not easy to print in multiple color (stop printer, change color, start again) and that the leveling is manual (boring and it takes so much time). Of course there are tricks to fix both but can be better. Otherwise is incredible good as results and also the adherence of the ultrabase is really good. My next printer will be probably again a Anycubic.
