Parametric Print-in-Place Hinge Cube - Autodesk Fusion Tutorial

In this Autodesk Fusion tutorial, you will learn how to design parametric print-in-place hinges to add connections and movement to your 3D models. When 3D printing the model, ensure the hinge section is flat on the print bed (no supports required).
The tutorial is part of PrintLab's 3D Printed Mechanisms course, where new models and tutorials are added regularly.

Great tutorial. Music is calming And not overpowering, and I love the step graphics!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the tutorial!

I would recommend only modelling half of the box. It will save a bunch of clicks, and also allow the sketches to be cleaner. In general, a good rule is: Never mirror at the sketch level if you don't have to. Always mirror at the body level if you can. Also, at 4:19, you have a line directly over the top of another line, which is not good practice IMHO - instead you should have split the existing line into two

Thanks for the tips and feedback! We'll take another look at our workflow :)

nice, hinge side on printing bed when printing, I assume?

[@weareprintlab]

Thanks! That's correct, hinge side down :)
