New Tutorial! Using Sketch Profiles and Joints for Enclosures in @adskFusion360 via @ecken #3DPrinting

In this tutorial we’ll take a look at using sketch profiles to drive joints. This allows the ability to fine tune the position of multiple components by adjusting sketch dimensions.

New CAD Tutorial! MX MIDI Guitar #fusion360 #3dprinting via @ecken

Hey folks, in this video we’re taking a look at the MX MIDI Guitar project. In this tutorial we’ll go through adding more cherry MX switches and potentiometers. With User Parameters, we can easily change the length of the neck and add more quantities via pattern feature. Thanks for watching!

Fusion 360 Tutorial – Twisty Unicorn Horns! via @ecken

Howdy folks! I finally came up with a nice workflow for creating twisty unicorn horns in Fusion 360. It’s smooth, shelled and fully parametric so it’s easy to change up the features. It has a threaded base, so you can easily swap out the bottom cover.

Fusion 360 tutorial – Glasses Frames #MonsterM4SK via @ecken

Back with another tutorial, this time a frame for glasses (or a PCB with animated eyes). In this tutorial we’ll take a look at creating a frame for glasses or the Adafruit Monster M4SK. I use the loft featuring to seamlessly blend two surfaces together. The trick is to use tangent profiles!

This week I’m using the Manage Lost Projections feature in fusion 360 to update the enclosure for PyGamer. Rule of thumb is to use as little projected geometry as possible!

New Layer By layer – PyBadge Case

With the release of the Adafruit PyBadge I thought I’d create a tutorial on making a case. What I thought would be a single video ended up becoming a three part series. This mini series we’ll walk through the process and show case tips along the way. We’ll learn how to design and model a parametric enclosure driven with user parameters in Fusion 360.

Part One – Initial Design

The first six minutes talks about PyBadge, MakeCode Arcade and the case. In this first installment we’ll import the PyBadge PCB and use a joint for placement. Create user parameters and sketch out the initial enclosure. Use construction planes and components to create the top and bottom parts of the enclosure.

Part Two – Cutouts

Picking up right where we left off, in this episode we’re going to create the proper cut outs for the buttons, display, neopixels, and light sensor. We’ll also create a stylish notch to expose the on/off switch and micro USB port. Excellent!

Part Three – Snap Fits

In the last installment of this mini series, we’re creating snap fit features. Instead of drawing them within the document, we’ll import it as an external component and customize user parameters to create snap sets with different lengths.
