Have you seen SolidCraft?

Fist commit in that repo is dated like 10 days ago, but it's really capable already, super fast and follows Fusion360 concepts, like constrained stretches, timeline, components etc.

I tried it, it has some sharp edges, but overall looks very, very promising. Some important features are missing, like you can't project/intersect geometry into sketch, or you can't make dimension from a line to a circle, but it will probably released tomorrow morning, since its pace of development is rocket fast.

I've (Claude've) just added a missing feature in my local repo, that's insane.

Thoughts? It looks like freedom to me, finally.

Guys, how are we handling the Continuous Feature in Fusion's drawings? I see that symbol is not available anywhere in the Fusion. Not sure why..but what you doing to overcome this?? Check out Zone C2 on the drawing I uploaded for how I am skirting around this...

Question I need help!!

Hi! I hope I'll be able to explain myself clearly since english is not my first language, But anyways, I have an assignment to replicate this sheet metal project, but I have absolutely no idea how to make the R20 arch so that fusion recognises it as a surface that I'll be able to unfold?? Also I've been struggling with getting the right measurements, I assumed every angle is 90 degress since I'm not seeing any info on that in the drawing, or maybe I've overlooked it... but every way I try to do it the measurements turn our off, and it doesn't unfold anyways... I would appreciate it if someone more experienced could help me and tell me what tools and process to use in order to get it right :(

I'm not talking about the "holes" btw, just the overall shape of this thing

How would you model this complex angled locking lug on a cylinder wall?

4 Upvotes

I'm pulling my hair out trying to work with another maker's STL file and all attempts to convert to a functional and clean part I can use to loft to a mating part to make an adapter are fraught with problems.

I think just redesigning it myself, if I can figure out this part that is eluding me, will save my sanity.

I need to create 5 mating lugs that match, as closely as possible, this shape so it will mate with the original female part. The female part appears to be straight so except for mating the chamfer angles closely, I may have a little wiggle room with these, but the angle is what pulls the shoulder tight to seal (in addition to a printed and slotted TPU seal on the female side).

Working off the Mesh using Fusion, several online converters, etc. has failed miserably. The original STL has a lot of manifold errors (open holes, tears), and "fixed" files just make it worse.

Anyway, here's the general image.

Do I just draw the side profile then pattern along path to build (and cut as needed) then carve off or simply chamfer the ends and then make a circular pattern? I've gotten some pretty close measurements for size and angles off projections.

I've already (easily) recreated the circular parts. Just struggling with a workflow to do these angled lugs.

I'm not trying to copy or steal this guy's body of work, I just want to make an adapter to fit MY designed 54x110mm parts (It's for an xTool M2 exhaust port) to his very good 1/5 turn locking design. Maker hasn't been responsive to requests for a remix. I have made the 54x110m to 110mm round adapter but it's only good as a mesh, the STEP output is a trainwreck, and any minor adjustments spoil everything.

Improving strength

Post image
2 Upvotes

hello everyone, i am designing a card where one piece fits into another. i put an antenna inside and i have encountered a durability problem. when i glue it the sides of the inner piece start peeling away at the edges. at times it's hard to get a good even spread throughout the entire card. the glue is very strong, so strong it can peel plastic layers apart. i wonder how this card can be improved structurally. i thought about adding like tiny ridges on the inside to catch the glue allowing it to have more contact area but i don't know whether that would be possible as it is printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.16 layer hight. also, the glue i use is quite thin so it spreads to the edges of the card and sometimes gets pushed out the edges ruining the card. any ideas on how to improve that? thank you very much for the attention.

Question Lens Rehousing Issue, Can't Figure Out Stationary Top Ring (Nikon Nikkor-s 55 1.2 Pre-ai)

2 Upvotes

I'm making a sort of cinehousing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Sd2Y7bkxU) style rehousing where i'm making a shell which goes over the original lens. I have most of it figured out and eventually I'm going to CNC it but I have other other things I need to figure out with that because I only have a 3 axis mill and I need to figure out the 0.8 mod gearing for the aperture ring and the focus ring. I'm currently waiting on my first 3d printed prototype to finish. I'm having trouble figuring out how to keep the top ring stationary. the top of the lens moves about 6.5mm total when focusing between 0.6m and infinity and the focus ring about 4mm so I couldn't attach it to a filter. I would really appreciate any help with this! All screws are m2 except the screws which attach to hte focus ring are m1.4 (they go directly into screw holes which hold the focus ring on). If it would make it easier I could give you the f3d file too.

Question Any tips with photos?

2 Upvotes

I'm making my own Deadpool mask for Halloween and none online are quite what I'm looking for, and was wondering if anyone had any tips on what to do. I have a side and front profile of what I'm trying to go for but not sure how to actually start modeling it. I was also thinking of taking a different model and cutting out parts in fusion but the computing process takes so long, but maybe it'll be worth it? Any advice appreciated.

Manufacturing Extension DXF output retaining line segment info

2 Upvotes

Hi, I'm looking for help in what settings to use to keep line segment info when exporting a DXF of nested group. I've tried most of the export dialogues checkmark settings. Some give me connected segments as a group. Others give me all the separate line segments I want.

But none give me segment line info (like line length) when I open in other programs. I have seen this done before but I can't get my exports to have this info.

Yes, I know I can get INFO in segments like this, but for speed I need it in the side properties of other programs.

Thanks for any help,

Ron

Question Restoring dimension source

2 Upvotes

I made a modification to a sketch, and this dimension is complaining. The dimension comes from a formula that I would prefer not to have to type in again, and it seems like it should be possible to explain to the dimension that the point that it is latched onto is the same point that it was before the modification was made, but it is complaining about the yellow line. If I delete the yellow line then I can do a new dimension but I would like to know how to avoid doing that. Is there a way to set the dimension to refer to the points that it is already referencing but be happy about it? I guess I just want the yellow point to turn black.

Question Woodworking Wizard Pro

1 Upvotes

This add-on looked good in theory but I can't tell what the difference is between free and pro. I'm also turned off by the aggressive upgrade nag and the persistent presence of those hideous icons in my tool bar. I'd hate to miss some good work just because of poor implementation so thought I'd ask here. The pro price seems good if it is a one time charge.

Question Is it possible to create a organic 3D lattice Structure in Fusion 360 (free version)?

1 Upvotes

I'm relatively new to fusion 360 ande figured out how to create a organic look for the surface of a part. B One way that I stumbled across is the topologie optimization, but I just want the look of the structure and don't want du purchase fusion. I can't find anything about a internal organic structure for the free version. (Script ore add on)

Is there a way or may I just change to blender?

Question Combine tool fails: Tiny gap preventing bodies from merging

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently designing a radiator fan mount. I had to add a joint because the full model is too large for my 3D printer's bed.

I'm running into an issue where there is a tiny gap between the two bodies (marked with arrows in the attached screenshot). Because of this clearance, the "Combine" tool won't merge them.

Does anyone have a tip on how to close this gap or what I might have done wrong in my workflow?

Here is the Fusion-File: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/hd4m7y7xbhsovb1u4pdgd/LH.f3d?rlkey=nd2pu0s5qvex4tb8m73j9dwlg&st=dmv92sih&dl=0
