The printer (sv06) just arrived yesterday and it has already saved the day for my kid.
His RC car stopped turning, and after taking the controllwe apart I found that the piece that actually turns the box inside was broken
I measured everything with my calipers and struggled with it in fusion 360 for like an hour, had to make adjustments and print again, and finally got this:
Put everything together and...
Success!
Outstanding work! Did you have previous experience with Fusion360 and modeling?
For some reason the working photo didn't come through for me (on wefwef client).
(edit: it's a video/clip - maybe wefwef can't handle that yet)
Thank you!
I messed around with blender for a couple of weeks wayyyy back in the day. Mostly, I have just been following some fusion 360 tutorials on youtube for the last week. I know I am not using all of the tools available, or at least not correctly, because some of the things were just not working right and I had to re-do them several times to get things to link up properly. Thinking back it was probably more like a couple hours of modeling..
The tutorial I've been following is Learn Fusion 360 in 30 days from Product Design Online, which is fantastic, but when I'm not following along directly it's hard to remember all of the different tools that he uses to make things work. I'm sure I'll get comfortable with it eventually. It's a really fun learning process though.
The working video is an imgur link - I wasn't able to get it to embed with Lemmy but it's here: https://i.imgur.com/7DofLyP.mp4
