r/Fusion360

This is the MDU-12, a modular cyberdeck I’ve been designing for fun in my sparetime. It is for use around the workshop, making mundane work like pulling up blueprints and files more fun. This is the second version, using a much bigger elevtronics board than my first one.

The whole thing was designed in Fusion 360, mostly by iterating, printing parts, finding problems, and redesigning them. This is very much a hobby project i visit whenever i have time so some of the files are probably not structured or modeled in the most efficient ways.

But it is a fun project i work on, and I figured the files might be useful or interesting to others, so I’ve made the source files available here:

Feel free to take it apart, modify it, or build something weird from it.

I converted a mesh to a body and now I'm trying to clean up the faces by removing the unnecessary bits. but every time I try I get this error:

DeleteFace1

Compute Failed

The selected faces could not be deleted.

Ensure that faces are only selected from a single body, and that no duplicate or invalid geometry is included in the selection.

I have never had this problem before when editing bodies created from meshes. Anyone have any thoughts?

EDIT: I tried it again but instead of selecting hybrid design I selected part as the design type, it now works perfectly

EDIT 2: thank you to everyone for your input, turns out I've been using fusion pretty wrong over the past 5ish years. Yes i was trying to edit an STL from makerworld that was originally from RobotAnna. It's a pretty simple gridfinity clutch and I was looking at moving and reinforcing the mounts for the strap. I figured that it would be easier to do it this way instead of using the gridfinity plugin to build it from scratch. I was pretty wrong on that.

I did a lil CAD warmup this morning by modeling up the void core anti-grav cube. I might print it out if I find another time to finish adding in details. Methinks it would make for a great Christmas tree ornament but i need to figure out how to make a black hole... any suggestions yall?

I still need to add the wires, round the sharp corners, and add the ribbed texture on the internal faces. Pls let me know if you're smarter than me and know how to do that last one without leaving fusion.

Guys I'm new to 3d designing and wanted to know if i can make stuff like this in fusion 360

The curved line on the top face comes from Split Face. How can I make the blue surface sloped inwards? In other words, cut away a wedge.

Edit: See another image in comments.

Been scratching my head over how to align these meshes without spending hours moving mm by mm up and down to get a fit I'm happy with. Visible seams are my enemy. They are parts of a large wing. Align tool in Fusion 360 doesn't seem to work on meshes. I've tried to make it an assembly, I've tried Blender, Maya, Plasticity, Meshmixer.

Can anyone recommend a software with an align/snap to surface tool that functions for meshes? I'm hoping to just select the face groups I want to connect, and presto. I know this function exists for solid bodies, but I'd prefer to keep them as meshes. Am I doomed to fiddle with these?

Hi, I’m making a mold for stamps, so imagine the rubber part is inverted. I have the pattern as an svg in a sketch and extruded down, and I’m trying to replicate the chamfer. But when the lines are close the chamfers will intersect and fail. How do I model the chamfer so it joins when intersects? Like in picture 2 when the stems of the mushrooms meet.

I have a plastic piece broken from my e-scooter that I want to print; I have tried modeling it multiple times but cannot seem to get it right, and I have searched the internet but no one has made a model for it. Does anyone have advice on how to model it since it has some complex curves, as I do not want to rebuy the part if it will just break again? It is called a Rear Fork Left Decoration-GD-GT3 Pro. If anyone can help or has some ideas, I would appreciate it. Thank you

Hi, I'm wondering how I can create a rectangular pattern where the patterns are tangent to a wall. See the attached picture, please. There you can see an ellipse with with an offset wall. I'd like to get the "pillar's" top line to tangent attach correctly to the offset wall. Is this possible without manually have to make them tangent (which I know how to do)? I will make the number of patterned pillars parametric which means it might change later on, which then could mean I'd have to manually fix them. Thanks in advance, and I hope you understand my question.

Hi,

I'm posting some photos: the first one shows the instructor's project, and the second one is mine. Could someone help me out and tell me what I drew incorrectly? We learn from our mistakes, so I need to know what I did wrong.

In the first photo, he is adding a sketch dimension, but I can't do it; I get an "over-defined sketch" error message. I was wondering if anyone could spot the error in the second photo?

If you need more photos, let me know

thank you everyone

I'm somewhat new so maybe its a simple or common knowledge thing but i can not for the love of me find why this thing turned translucent on me

edit: thx for the help, i ended up fixing it, tho i then realised it was a 22 hour 600g print per module and ended up scratching the design lol

Hello I'm trying to join (extrude) the 2 circle together how do I do that?

... Where you knock a hole through sheet metal and then use the material from the hole to create a threaded barrel. I have heard it called a punch press threaded hole or just punch press hole. I have heard it called extruded threads... But, in searching for these terms, that doesn't appear to be the official name.

I have a drawing ready to send out for quote, and currently, my model just has straight threaded holes through the material with no extrusion, because I couldn't find a satisfactory way to model it. I have notes in the callout, stating the the "threaded features are to be punch holes from opposite side". But, I'm thinking that's not the clearest way to communicate this.

So in addition to learning the correct term, I would also like to know if there are there any CAD systems that have a tool for this feature. I have access to SolidWorks 2016, and current versions of Fusion and OnShape, haven't explored OnShape too much (we just got it) but I haven't seen anything to make a hole like this in SW or 360.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Thank you to this amazing community ahead of time. You are always helpful. I have attached several photos to help show what I am talking about. The first is the final product, except for the part I am struggling with. I have these two identical parts off set at a 55-degree angle using a construction plane. What I need to do is angle the internal cavities down at a 5-degree angle but keep the main body even and the 55-degree offset angle. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I have almost no experience in fusion and I'm wondering how I could make the next piece.

The point is that the part that joins the spoiler is a curved surface but does not have the same curve on both sides

I honestly don't know how to get started or what tools I can use to complete this part.

No sabía donde mas compartir esto y que me dieran opiniones, se que ya hay bastantes y mejores páginas, es un proyecto personal asi que son libres de criticarnos a mi y a mi depurador de confianza (Claude xd)

I logged to Fusion and noticed someone saving files to my "default proyect". Turns out they are students from my university (but a campus across the country). My suspicion is that there was a name collision between our hub's URLs since they are only a few digits. I contacted them and they cannot move their files since I'm hub owner and we cannot create other hubs. Meaning she is stuck with me. How can i contact Autodesk support and give her her own hub?
