H) Turn lightbulb on and off next to each, to verify that they are separate bodies. I'm stuck in this whirlwind of sketches, bodies, components, groups, selection sets.why is this so confusing?Ī) Create a cube (sketch, XY axis, 50mm square, extrude 50mm)ĭ) Circle, two-point, 20mm, centered on cube front face.Į) Modify, press-pull, select circle, -25mm, New Body.
I'm new to parametric design, learning all about origins, and parameters, but really, it should be as simple as what I posted above: create, export, point and click, print. I'm designing it on the XY plane, why won't it import flat on the XY bed? Or am I missing something? My 3D printer has spent all day on a project, printing away, being productive, while I've sat here revision after revision, trying to reproduce what should be a very simple process:Ģ) Export the objects from Fusion 360 into Simplify 3D.ģ) Use the Dual Extrusion Wizard to select Object A on the left extruder, and Object B on the right extruder.Īlso, when I do open the items, let's say I open the sign, it ends up oriented on its end, rather than flat on the bed. Why is it so hard to export Fusion 360 objects into individual bodies directly into Simplif圓D? Through some form of selection, right clicking, and voodoo, all sixteen (the sign and fifteen letter bodies) opened up at the same time in Simplif圓D, and I cheered, and instead of taking notes, I promptly forgot what I did. But I remember the following:ġ) Each letter had its own "model" entry in Simplif圓D, which I selected and grouped.ģ) I did not open up each individual body (because that would be annoying)Ĥ) I did not SAVE as STL because then I have to have an extra step in my process In my first week, I spent hours Googling how to send these files directly into Simplif圓D in such a way that I could select the text bodies separately from the sign body, and choose which extruder (in Simplif圓D) would be used to produce each component. The sign has a white plastic appearance assigned to it, and the letters have a blue plastic appearance.
I have the sign in a separate component than the group of bodies which consist of the lettering. Those three bodies are extruded above the sign by 1mm. In the first week, a built a sign, which was basically a short cylinder with a filleted top edge, and then I added some text over the top of that sign in three parts which, when exploded, ended up being 15 bodies. I've just recently started using Fusion 360 for parametric 3D design.
