Many thanks for taking the trouble to post this tutorial. I taught myself to draw a guitar in fusion 360 using the tutorials. Having spent many frustrating hours I got there in the end. As an engineer I learnt to draw so my approach was based on creating sketches and then the models. So having made the hard yards with this approach it is fantastic for me to see the more advanced methods you use working directly from the models. So much quicker and a more simple. I also like the idea of turning off the timeline as I had a lot of frustration with all the error messages. Many thanks and please keep posting videos.

AFAIK Fusion360 has no "macro function". But it does have a script function and Parametric modeling, though. Which basically means you could write a piece of code to create something (which I did for the Fret Generator). Instead of using macros; you could make a "blueprint"-file with several sketches holding the trem cavity, pickups and so on, all pre-drawn with the correct dimensions. I do have such a file, but notice myself being much quicker if I draw them straight away. Hope this helps!

Not really sure what you mean by “a a more pronounced volute”. Butif I understand correctly you could try making a plane with a curve (as I did for the cutout for the backside) and slice the bottom part of the headstock. After that reshape the neck connection. Hope this helps!

its a wonderful tutorial. but i'm stuck at the headstock section, i cant get the guidelines or the highlighted blue dot at the end of the neck at 19:57 after the first 38mm line . how to rectify that ?

Thank you so much for this video it saved me a lot of time in designing my guitars. I do have a question though. I like to set the neck back about 2 degrees is there a way you can show how to do this? Also in creating an arch top do you have a video on how to do so? Kind of like Les Paul or PRS guitars. I watched other videos but they are not very explanatory as your video. Thank you again

@Audiohotshot

Жыл бұрын

My solution for drawing a setback of 2 degree's would be by keeping the neck level, but drawing the body onto an angled plane. But I've not tried that, hopefully someone else has a tried-and-tested solution for you! In regards to drawing an archtop; I like to work with splines, SURFACE and lofts for more fluent shapes; gives me good control over curves. But i've seen people drawing it with FORM and MESH as well, I guess it is just what you happen to like better.

If your cutting (drill) bit is 6mm, would you not need the radius to be 3mm in the tremolo hole and pickup holes?

Hmmm that error does not sound familiar to me... sorry. A guick google suggested you have a bunch of different faces crossing each other making it impossible to perform the split. You might check whether that is the case. Closing the gap in the cover could also be performed by pulling (hit Q) the inner walls of the gap to bridge it in a few steps. To finetune the curve you might need to clean up the top surface somewhat, but the gap is closed.. Hope this helps.

Hello, because when I want to edit the angle plane, when I click it takes me to the zero point of X and y, and lets me edit find the center for the 10 degrees in the angle plane.

At 10:10 are you saying that the strings will be a minimum of 10mm high above the body at the bridge or at 24th fret?

+/- 10mm above the body, but please keep in mind, dimensions will differ with each design. I just happen to do it this way :-)

What if I have to add a break angle for the neck? Don't I have to either angle my neck or my neck pocket?

Yes, you should make an angle on th neck or pocket. My solution would be to make an angle in the neck pocket; I think it will make the neck connection stronger, as the neck thickness overall remains the same. I've never tried it though, I could be wrong.

Awesome tutorial. Although every time I go to split the bottom half of the neck join to remove that particular body it tries to tell me there is no intersection between targets and the split tool. I tried ensuring all bodies were selected and then used the plane as the reference point with no luck. First time I've had an error message. Can't really get past this so far with little experience.

Hmmmm kinda hard to tell without pictures. Could you tell the timecode of the video at the point where you get stuck? I’m guessing now that the “bend” of the neck and the neck joint are not combined properly. Other thing could be that you contructionplane isn’t in the right position. Let me know if It works out for you! You got so far already, I’m pretty sure you can do this!

@@Audiohotshot it's at 14.08. I'll double check to see if everything is combined properly, but the construction plane appears to be in the exact same spot as yours.

You mention in your first post you selected all parts, but in fact I just have 1 complete neck part which I split. Just curious: Did you use extend splitting tool as well (just to be sure, it's not really necessary though). Hope this helps!

Thanks man I was stringling to make the Comfort zone. I noticed you didnt follow the rounded edges of the reference but rather filleted everything evenly. I strungle following those irregular curves for my Model as it is a big part of its design

I'm just showing you one approach of this particular design of mine. I hope the shown techniques helps you out in any way.

@@Audiohotshot I found a good way doing it now on my own! Instead of making curved planes I draw the curves on the surface extract a new body, chamfer the loong curved on the new body then cut the guitar budy with it and then fillet everything ☺️☺️ Your video still helped me a lot making my 3d print guitar for a custom figurine

What about tool paths and all that stuff, does fusion 360 automatically set all that stuff or do I have to manually set that up? I am new to this, I have a new CnC machine this video has helped me more than any others on the net, so valuable. All I need to know now is how to set up the specs for machine operation. Does Fusion do all that when it converts to G code? I was no where before watching your video now I am more than half way to my first guitar. I would just love it if you could tell me what to do now after having created the guitar in Fusion 360. What's next Daddy? lol

For some insipiration you could take a look here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pY1np5mildPgn9Y.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3d5rcxpprDRerA.html. There are different methods for double sided milling, one of them I explain here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gp1rpJSCopmvqZM.html I hope this is helpful, most of the things you mention are mentioned in the vids I guess. Have fun!

I have many years of 3d drawing in 3d studio max and maya behind me. Now I am using this experience to draw guitars.Every day I find new ways for the CAM process, which I find even more interesting! Drawing the guitar itself: I always try to come up with the simplest solution, that often gives the best results. And if I can explain it well to myself, I hope you can too! Have fun!
