“As a engineer who has been 3D printing for 7 years these are some amazing tips. I wish I had when I was first getting started and that chain idea is actually new to me and glad I watched!” – Mathew Gonzalez • (April 2023)

Which tip / trick was your favorite?
Does the free fusion 360 allow you to sell your printed parts or the stl files made within fusion 360?
And now with FreeCAD please. ☺
And before you ask why, not everyone uses the stuff from Redmond or Cuppertino. Helsinki is where great OSes are born. 😁
Can you please elaborate on bridging and which settings are best
One tip that was not mentionned that literally makes the difference between someone who knows the limit of 3D printing is using inserts.
Not only do they make your threads reusable, but they also force you to make your parts intelligently since you can't install them at random.
I'm kind of sad an "expert" did not mention this.
Edit: I'm working in engineering.
Nope did not show us a dam thing. Fusion 360 is free as in free beer you purchase at the grocery store.
Great video!!
i hate that you focus only on the tool that you're selling a class for
Hi, I'm new to 3d printing and especially fusion 360. I've figured out the basics of threads and such but i'm wondering is there a way to seperate the threads to make them wider apart?
How do I model the c clip?
Very good format. High signal low noise. It would be fun to watch you model objects that combine a few of the tricks at once,
As a beginner with my first printer, these are some golden tips. I have background in industrial design but no real skills or knowledge engineering, apart from what I've got from school, so these are really useful things to know. I did not realize one can print chains in place!
For strength, you can actually cheat better than digging a hole into it. When you extrude down, create a new component, made it solid. Load the Components in together, select the second component and set it to a desired infill, keep the other component at the lower infill. In a cylinder you can do this in alternating rings, or you can generate extra thick walls around certain holes if they are being utilized for thread inserts or have a rod running through them that will apply torque or tension to the body of the hole. Yours definitely has the benefit of being quick and easy though. No extra work involved.
I’m having so much trouble with thread tolerances working together. I guess the answer is to get rid of my creality printer lol
Working Hinge is amazing I would like to use that and the threads on a mask.
Yeah, Fusion 360 is free for personal use, unless they decide it isn't = ))
I know it is easy and all. But yeah, sad reality tells me that not-so-easy FreeCAD is what I should stick around. I could not learn how to use it yet, so I use Blender, as it was really easy to use, and you can just load STL and make changes right away. Also OpenSCAD was very funny to use, and it allows to create customizers so ordinary people could create own modifications with a couple of clicks, at thingeverse for example.
Please explain how to make chains!
experts aren't running 0.4mm tolerances lmao
Cool tips, maybe not expert tips, but I did not know about the 'double face move/copy' technique at 3:39 that will definitely come in handy.
Misleading title. The video is about Fusion 360.
Correction: Bad tips for noobs.

Everyone knows this, I know the real secrets 🤫
I am a designer with an engineering degree. Everything I design for my job gets made out of sheet steel so I appreciate the tips for a different medium, even though the CAD stuff isn’t as new/helpful
1:47 What are 'overhangs', they look
like base supports, what are they and
why are they called
overhangs?
1:53 ''they are an absolute pain to remove''
By remove, do you mean remove using the program?
I feel that watching this has saved a few kilos of filament fro the bin
