Currently on day 15 of my Fusion 360 free trial. watching your 2023 new series, Up to date with them (Currently at day 9) while waiting, browsing your older files. Your videos give me so much confidence, I purchased Fusion 360 one year. Looking forward to the new 2023 series, and enjoying your older stuff which is still very useful. Thinking of purchasing you a coffee soon. All the best from Sydney Australia. (Been 3D printing for 2 weeks now) cheers.

I shouldn't complain about free lessons, but the 11:34 problem took a lot of comments reading to find the solution.

I've been trying to not worry too much about views at this point as I know that KZbin gives a lot of "weight" to creators that have been on KZbin longer. I've really only been posting for 3 months... so hopefully, it will continue to pick up more and more :) Thanks again for watching and commenting! Cheers, Kevin :)

Outstanding video. I wish your collection of videos had been recommended to me by every search I ran trying to do basic things when I started with Fusion 360 (couple of weeks). I would have saved myself tons of time, aggravation, and the frustration of hitting things by random trial and error. With the enormous depth of the Fusion 360 user interface, exploring things by trial and error is the worst possible way to learn how to use the product. Thanks for your efforts, please know they are appreciated.

In an effort to reach more people, and hopefully have fewer people wish they found my videos earlier, please help me out by sharing my videos within your network of like-minded individuals.

Issue: The "Model" workspace is no longer shown in Fusion 360. The "Design" workspace is shown instead. Some of the previously available environments (Patch, Sculpt, Mesh) seem to be missing as well. The Model workspace has been renamed the Design workspace. Sculpt, Surface, and Sheet Metal are available the tabs shown on the toolbar at the top of the screen. Causes: The UI in Fusion 360 was updated in the September 2019 update.

Excellent class set. I followed along and will now try and print to see how the hinge will work. I can see problems if the bottom part of the box and top aren't equal and can't both lay flat with the base on the bottom. How would you print that type of box - or is this beyond the intent of what you are trying to teach. Had to ask.

Awesome videos and series. I've been playing around with Fusion 360 for a while but these videos are the best. By the way, capitalizing all the words is actually Pascal Case. Camel Case does not capitalize the first letter of the first word. I also believe you deserve a lot more views than you are getting.

[@midclock]

8:47 Man, I just came here to watch this video by following the link in "How to Design 3D Printable Hinge". First of all, I started to use Fusion 360 about 10 days ago, I knew the basics Autodesk Inventor (which I find really similar to F360), and that helped me a lot. Anyway, this is just a little story, I'd like to say thank you because I've seen a lot of useful concepts in your two videos, from using the right tools, to named parameters (extremely powerful, it's like introducing a bit of "coding" into 3d modeling). I'm going to add printable hinges to a model that I'm editing...the only difference is that I've got a UV resin printer and I'm not completely sure about .5mm of clearance. Maybe I'm wrong, but it may be the "dot" resolution even in this setup. Btw, no problem: I will set a parameter and align the value with the printer's specs before printing. Thank you again 👍

[@jordanguidry8890]

Is the 3d printed pin in the hinge very strong ? I want to make a small box for a tiny backpacking stove because the one that came with it is not easy to repack. This will be banged around as it will be carried on my ATV.

[@akrupnov]

Hey. Thanks for the great work for this series. Haven’t watch part two yet but is it a good practice that you kept the top part of the box as well as hinge sketch still within same bottom box component.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

It really depends on the design intent and outcome/need of the model. Generally, your'e correct in that it would be better to have things grouped accordingly.

[@waynefilkins8394]

I need to watch more of this guy's videos. He seems like he overcomplicates the sht out of everything, but had I applied all these techniques to my larger more complex projects, it would have probably saved me from like 500+ headaches and countless hours trying to resize stuff. I'm going to try to change my ways and think like this, using variables and simple math to attach dimensions and use tricks like how he used cube height / 2 for that construction plane because the way I do these things is definitely not as efficient lol. I feel like this method of using cad could lead to very rapid product development which has been my life goal lately.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Ron. Glad you're learning a lot from my videos! You can always try adding a minus sign in front of the dimension value in your Extrude dialog box. This will always force the extrude to go in the opposite direction if you're not able to select and pull the blue single directional arrow. Let me know if that fixes it for you! If not, I'm happy to help troubleshoot further. Cheers, Kevin :)

I know this is old, but excellent video. clear and concise. One comment, IMO the wall thickness (you chose 1.3mm ) should me a multiple of your SLICER setting line thickness, that way the printer will not try to print odd line widths. Your thoughts? Thanks again....................

[@jeffroth42]

Just curious, why didn't you make the length and width of the box parameters, as well? Seems like that would be handy for making the box change size quickly.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Great question, Jeff! Personally, I try to only use parameters if I'm going to be re-using them in other areas of the model (as in multiple times). You could definitely set up parameters for the length and width, but if that's the only place that you'd be using them then it wouldn't really save you much time in comparison to just editing the sketch dimensions. If wanted to always keep your box a perfect cube, no matter what the size, then creating a parameter for the length, width, and height would be ideal. Thanks again for watching! Cheers, Kevin :)

@@ProductDesignOnline Hello, Kevin, same thing as above. Even after I make sure the Project Edges is on (it was on all along), the SECOND of the lines (the top one) doesn't define the surface when created. It doesn't matter whether I stop the sketch operation or not.

[@donnig.9186]

I have the same problem

[@paranajape]

When making the rectangle ( square ), fusion 360 says that it's fully constrained but when I change dimensions of one side the body deforms ( other dimension does not update ). Have tried adding equal constraint additionally but fusion wont allow as it says that geometry is over constrained.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Paranajape. Could you please share your file with me so I could take a look? Share your public link as a reply to this comment. Here's a video explaining how to share a public link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aInVlKWai5JrgtU Then, please write a separate comment letting me know you've replied with a link because KZbin flags most links and I don't always get notified. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@paranajape]

The same is demonstrated at minute 12:01 of the part 2 of this tutorial. You were able to change the length without affecting width ( shape change ). Is it still considered fully constrained? I think it's just a small confusion.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

​@@paranajape Let me try to clear up the confusion. The goal of a "fully constrained" sketch is to make it easily predictable to know what any changes to the model would do. Meaning, that you can update the desired dimension, and know what else within the model will be affected. It does not necessarily mean that all dimensions will change when you update one of them or the opposite. To double-check that your sketch is fully constrained you can check the sketch icons next to your sketch name. Take a look at this reference image: snag.gy/kNPzbr.jpg You'll notice there is a red thumbtack icon next to the box and hinge sketches. This red thumbtack means that the sketch is fully constrained. The goal of this box would be to make it easy to change dimensions of the box, without throwing off the shape of the box, or other dimensions that you wouldn't want to be affected. I made the box so one side could be updated, without the other, in case it's useful to have one side be longer than the other. However, if you wanted all four sides of the box to always be equal, then you could set up the dimensions and constraints to enforce that as well. To summarize, having fully constrained sketches is important to help the user understand how the model will change when any specific detail is updated. I hope this clears up some of the confusion! Cheers, Kevin :)

[@biomedicaleng8091]

sir i have complete that project of hinge box but i have no idea how to open it.

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Abdul. You will need to right-click on the joint motion and select the "Edit Joint" from the menu. You will then be given the rotation slider where you can either drag the slider or enter the degree value to get the top lid to the desired position. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@Mirrikat]

I'm jumping in to the middle of this series. ...I've often heard the term parametric design for 3D models. Is this idea of creating "variables" for height, thickness, and gap an example of parametric design?

Yes! That's one aspect of parametric design. At its core, Parametric design is about setting your models up with "Design Intent" so you can change dimensions/features with predictable manner.

If you tick that, then select apply then ok, it should work.

My Fusion will not move to Z axis up even though it sets ok in the settings?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, Derek. Are you trying to change it for a new file or with an existing file? The option to change "Up" in the preferences only does so for new files created. You currently can't switch axis for an existing design, but the workaround is pretty easy. Just rotate the bodies to be oriented along the Z in instead of the Y-axis. As a secondary option, you can also right-click on the view-cube (in the upper righthand corner) and change the "top" view to be for the Z-axis as well. That will help the navigation feel the same going forward. Cheers, Kevin :)

[@Derek_Lark]

Thanks Kevin. I will investigate further.

@@Derek_Lark You're welcome. Let me know if that was it :)

Could not for the life of me figure out how to select the lines to enter 45 degrees. It looked as you selected the lower angled line as if you had clicked on it and then was dragging it towards the vertical line. Maybe its because I am using apple trackpad and you are on that uber cool mouse of yours. Just wait till this weekend when I get mine too. ha ha

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi, James. Are you referring to the 45 degree dimension at 11:52? If so, after activating the sketch dimension you need to click on both the angled line (that was just sketched) and the vertical line. The order in which you select them doesn't matter. The only important thing is that you drag your mouse cursor to the middle of the two lines and click to place the dimension there. Cheers, Kevin :)

Does this work for onshape?

[@ProductDesignOnline]

You should be able to build out the same hinge, but the Onshape features are a little bit different

@@ProductDesignOnline alright! Thanks for replying so quick you're awesome

anyone else getting those shapr3d ads? Is that really any good? Looks too good to be true.

FYI Everybody.... "Model" workspace is now called "Design" Workspace. Since 2021.

[@rsjbarker]

Thanks for that. I scrambled for a few minutes there. It's a problem with You Tube that older tutorials don't match the updated software.

where are the days from 1 to 18?

[@craigturpin1731]

Kevin has a playlist on his channel: "Learn Autodesk Fusion 360 in 30 Days for Complete Beginners"

[@ProductDesignOnline]

The full playlists is found here - bit.ly/learn-fusion360

[@keithyakouboff8755]

I am quite confused. I thought I was following a 30-day course. Each day's lesson was about 2 years ago. This one has suddenly gone to 5 years ago. What happened???

[@ProductDesignOnline]

Hi Keith. The original course was released in 2019. This video is from the 2019 version. The new course is '23-24 (I'm still recording the last 9 lessons). You'll find the new version in the official playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLrZ2zKOtC_-C4rWfapgngoe9o2-ng8ZBr

"How to 3D Model a Hinged box for 3D Printing" doesn't actually model a hinge in the video 🙄
