    Really cannot thank you enough for this series. It's hard to appreciate how imperative a deliberate and consistent workflow is. This series is such a great opportunity to learn not only what the tools do but how to use them effectively. I tightened the hinge clearance to 0.3mm. There is no perceptible play in the hinge, and it operates perfectly. Although, like others have commented, it does not close all the way. I am guessing 0.0 tolerance between the box halves is just not realistic. Just like how you need some clearance between the moving parts for them to function. I raised the hinge point center 0.1mm which *almost* got it there. I bet 0.15mm would have done it, 0.2 for sure.

    All of your videos are outstanding. Most of what know about Fusion 360 (not a lot!) has been derived from your videos. I use it for design of 3D printed items so had to try this as soon as I saw it. My box hinges worked first time with your suggested clearances. However, the box does not quite close fully as there is interference at the hinge side. I'll look at ways of adding in a small clearance then also adding a snap clip at the front to hold it closed. My first use for one of these boxes is to hold SMA connectors and standards for a vector network analyser. Perfect - a learning project with a purpose. First class material, thanks Kevin.

    Try this modification - move the centre of the hinge 0.3mm above the top of the box base. This should also move the centre of the lid hinge by the same amount (worth checking depending on how the sketch was constrained). The total gap of 0.6mm allows the box to close snugly without a small gap opposite the hinges.

    Press/Pull will not be recorded in the timeline, which is why I always recommend using the Offset faces command (so you can update the tolerances later, if needed). Otherwise, there is no physical difference in the result.

    Thanks for these! Thanks for your response on my comment on the other video. I was able to work past that issue. However, I'm stuck here. I am fine making the first hinge piece. However when I go to make the sketch for the inner hinge piece (at 4:33 in this video), I don't get the option to create a new sketch as there is already a sketch on that plane. Instead, I just get the option to edit my existing one which I obviously do not want to do. I have confirmed that I have the box top active (the previous sketch was on the box bottom). I can think of a few ways to work around it, but I'm wondering what I'm missing. Thanks in advance for any help!

    This has been a great series, absolutely. Thank you Kevin! The model printed great. I wanted to mess with it a bit and add an offset between the top and bottom so that the lid sits flat. I tried to rotate the joint and it's locked. I tried to convert the joint to a rotating joint, but the joint point is on the edge of the box and not the the centerpoint of the hinges. Anyone have a tip or recommend a video that covers joints in more detail?

  • @ProductDesignOnline

    @ProductDesignOnline

    4 ай бұрын

    In this case, you would need to remove the original joint that we applied to place the box (and fix the reference issues to the sketch). You could then apply the revolute joint. Here's a video that covers As-Built Joints (when parts are built in place): kzread.info/dash/bejne/gaeYrpKPn8StnJM.htmlsi=HoEjTm0aoglI9i5H I cover Joints extensively in the PDO Academy courses, but don't have much free content on it at the moment.

    5 ай бұрын

    They essentially act/work the same. The majority of the time you'll want to mirror components or bodies as it performs better and helps keep your sketches 'as simple as possible' (which is recommended for parametric design). Some use cases, such as mirroring some sketch geometry to then deleting some on the other side, etc are where the sketch mirror command becomes helpful. Definitely use the sketch one with caution tho :)

  • @harraikhalsa

    This has been a very helpful video series-thank you! One challenge I've had with this model, is trying to go a step further and make a revoute joint work in software. Since we positioned the boxes using an fixed joint w/ offset, it seems to be really challenging (to me at least) to switch it to a revolute joint and get the boxes lined up. I can choose new faces such as the center of the hinges, but it oftentimes breaks the hinge geometry-I suppose because some referenced deisgn along the way. If I just change our fixed joint to a revolute joint, the boxes don't line up when rotated. If anyone has figured out how to make that adjustment, I'd be interested to hear. Thanks!

    I am learning my way through this series now, and just sorted this out myself. You commented this 3 months ago so you've probably got this by now but if not, and for anyone else like me looking through the comments for this: It seems the axis points for both parts of a revolute joint must be on the same axis and in the same plane. Having them on the same axis but different planes brings those planes together. I resolved this by making the second box half active and intersecting the radius of the sketch of the first hinge part. That placed an axis point for the box top on the outside face of the box bottom hinge. After that I was able to select the same point for each resolute axis. Of course he will probably cover this in one of the next few lessons but sometimes it's just fun to learn by exploration! :)

    I couldn't understand how I got my bodies in reverse order, but everything's fine so far. :)) This is just one more piece of precious experience; when I draw my project line while looking from the flat back, I placed my center diameter circle to the outer plane of the sketch. :)) Whenever I got to the 3d view, I've found the right edge.

    Perfect tutorial! I just want to point out something I noticed. When adding a constraint to an element outside the sketch, fusion automatically projects this element to the sketch. But this projection is not linked. So when you update your component, it doesn't update the sketch.
