Intro about fusion 360 (TO DO):

  • download and installation: FUSION360 and CURA SOFTWARE,
  • select units,
  • part of software interface,
  • how to work offline,
  • start with sketch,

    1.1 Draw and print small rattle

    For this exercise I decided to model with Fusion360 a small rattle for children (which is also a spinning top!).

    I chose it because only with this technology it is possible to create a sphere inside that can't go out and it makes a little rattle if you shake the piece.

    You can download the file in Fusion (.f3d) at this LINK, open it and try to make changes, or reproduce it by checking how it was done from the "history" panel.

    Or you can download directly the STL file for printing it.

    
    
      
    I also emptied the piece handle to reduce printing times To speed up printing I printed the first model with a 75% scale I used the print parameters you see in the screenshots
