C'est le retour du printemps pour quelques jours, et qui dit Printemps dit jardinage. Pour des jardinières "nues" achetées par ma chérie, elle a mis une bache qu'elle va pouvoir remplir de terre. Pour permettre l'évacuation de l'eau, j'ai rapidement modélisé (15 minutes) des petites bondes (que je peux éventuellement raccorder à des restes tuyaux d'arrosage automatique). C'est trois fois rien, mais ça a été tellement rapide à faire, merci la technologie et l'impression 3d. #3dprint#fusion360
Really thought this latest project was going to be the one that made me subscribe to #shapr3d but realized that the parametric stuff was still in beta. Back to #fusion360 for this one.
I do not understand components and coordinate systems in Fusion 360. Because of that, I may have lost the design I've been drawing all week.
I changed a parameter, and half the things that should have moved did move, and half did not. Curves that had been closed were no longer closed, and things got worse from there.
It looks like parameters used in the Move/Copy command don't update? Do I have to use a rigid joint to fix every component?
Yeah, so I started over. Now I'm tying components together with rigid joints and tying them to points on sketches whose measurements use parameters. This is the measurement I tweaked that blew my model up last time...
Wheee! Look at me! I figured out how to get two hinges and a door to move in sync. (Revolute joints for each hinge pin, rigid joints between the pieces, then let F360 figure out the rest.) Anyway, the LACK printer enclosure continues slowly.
The noise in my head would be significantly reduced if I mastered CAD. Because so far, I’m doing the Smart EV conversion battery case design solely in my head, in 2D and in a spreadsheet. Going from 2D design proficiency to 3D is surprisingly frustrating. #FreeCad makes me want to crawl up in a corner. Now trying #OnShape, #tinkercad and #Fusion360.
Un pot d'aquarium pour y planter des anubias, avec une cachette pour les axolotls en dessous. Si le résultat me plaît, je vais recouvrir de résine epoxy compatible aquariophilie, je crains la décomposition du PLA pour la qualité de l'eau. Au passage, ça va être ma plus grande impression, et c'était pas évident de minimiser les supports #print3d#aquarium#prusaslicer#fusion360#prusamk3
#3Dprinting people: how do you do #3Dmodelling? I've been using #tinkercad and it's great for simple stuff but I feel like I'm already outgrowing it. What software should I learn? I'm considering #FreeCAD and #Fusion360 but I'm open to other suggestions. I don't want a ridiculous learning curve because I'm just doing hobbyist stuff, but I want something a bit more powerful that I'm less likely to hit the limits of.
I'm full of a stinker of a cold so I've not been doing to much... however just had a fun hour learning some stuff about expressions in @FreeCAD I worked out how to draw a spherically blunted tangent ogive rocket nosecone... its MUCH easier to just download the Rocket Workbench add on, but I've learnt some stuff on the way here! #Rocketry#CAD
@concretedog@FreeCAD I've been meaning to switch from #Fusion360 to #FreeCAD and although I've heard it's super powerful, I've also heard it's not that easy to use. Are there any tutorials/videos online that you would recommend for somebody who has used other CAD software?.
Diving deeper into #Fusion360. My #3Dprinting project of the past few days. An overengineered holder for a razor, for a tidier bathroom. Measured every mm of every accessory for friction fit. You can download it on #Printables and on #MakerWorld. #AutoCAD#Bambulab
Wanted to share this. It's been a long road, but as of today and 11 months later, we've fully migrated from #Autodesk#Fusion360 to #FreeCAD. Every #3dprinting design that we've made in Fusion that we needed to back up has been re-made from the ground up in FreeCAD and is available on our GitHub.
oh how disgusted iam by blind #fanboys. When teenagers defend a clearly shitty, buggy game that is made to exploit the gamer like the promise of #starcitizen . These idiots make it into IT when they grow up and keep this mentality. defending something terrible like a troll his pile of dung. There is no "using the software wrong". When you create a polygon with 5 mm x 5 mm and it ends with 4.99 mm x 4.99 mm ITS NOT THE USER! #fusion360
for this, extrusion of the surface can be used. Cutting or extruding to the level of the gray surface on the left at which point they become one. Image shows that extrusion works, but we want the same level, so we click on the gray surface and the blue will move to align at the same level.
#fusion360
oh, what is that?
apparently the distance to level to the other surface is " -8.5616E-05 mm " so thats −85.616 nanometers! So besides the fact that i only show 4 digits after the comma i get here digits in the picometer range. mhh okay, very percise.
#fusion360
okay, undo, lets try moving the surface by really just moving the surface lower, like we did see we can do with the extrusion tool. its not what we want, but we try it anyway.
oh..."Error: The operation could not create a valid result.
Try adjusting the values or changing the inputs.
" thats strange.
?!ah...okay, seems like our small blue surface is somehow hooked to the gray area alread? making the gray surfaces move to positions they shouldnt be able to because surfaces on the other side should be blocking it to prevent impossible geometry.
pulling it down now shows that there is something pretty terrible wrong with what the software did.
well i didnt design this part to have an invisible endless long additional surface or what ever this is.no value, parameter or whatever i ever did was to insert any values or move something so it could produce such an error.
So yes, you can say iam using fusion360 wrong and say it isnt intended to do these things, which the moderators and the #support from #autodesk#fusion360 is actually doing.
#fusion360 i do quite simple modeling. drawing sketches mainly as starting surfaces and then extrude them to give them volume. Draw another sketch on the volume to cut out a part to shape my volume. that is pretty intuitive and works the same in any 3d modeling application. To have this here as a result should never ever happen, its the tools programmed and given by the developer that produced this and even if its my fault, they dont have answers for it.
#fusion360
unwilling to look into it and reproduce the errors (yes, its just one of many pretty bad faults that have been there for years). Which points to a fault deep in fusion360s core programing.
having pulled the part now down further and clicked okay actually works. the gray surface we wanted to fuse it to acutally moved with it.
we measure and for somewhat reason is shows the angle between both furfaces as 179.9973°?! just a glimpse how flawed their snap function is.
#fusion360
the snap to grid or point etc. is especially funny when doing sketches, as 3D or 2D sketching, when locking on a point that is exactly 10mm away and the visual show the snap to point indicator to which your cursor is actually draged to once you get close enough ( so you cant move to 9,8mm as it will always jump to 10mm) but the issue is actually that its almost NEVER 10mm. but measuring afterwards manually reveals it snapped to a point slightly off. so 10mm become 11.5mm.
#fusion360
So if you are looking into getting into fusion360 DONT! go with #freeCad use #blender . And best stay away from any #autodesk software as a company that wants 600€ for a timed licence where such basics dont work and get messed up is just bullshitting.
I just wish i would have known that when our project started 2 years ago.
as im still forced to keep using it,i will likely post more in the future. but now i feel relieved for the moment.
