Learning 3D model with Fusion 360

[Ken_NJ]

I am self learning Fusion 360 so I can make objects with my Bambu printer. I'm somewhat familiar with QCad for 2D design which I use to design hulls frames for Laser/Engraver to cut the frames out for my next scratch built party boat. For QCad, I just watched Youtube videos and googled what I was trying to do to get to know the program. Also joined the QCad forum to ask questions that I could not figure out. For F360, not being familiar with 3D modeling I started watching videos, google searched and joined the Autocad forum. For the Youtube videos, I have two screens on my computer, one screen would be the YT video and the other F360 so I can mimic what they are doing in the video. Using older YT videos I found that the F360 program has been updated enough that it does not work like what appears in the videos. I'm pausing the videos quite often to try and figure out what the presenter is doing. Even thou they may be tutorial videos, there are some things they don't explain or I'm not catching. I found this series which so far, 4 episodes in, I'm liking this series best. Anyone remember Bob Ross from PBS? They kinda talk to you like Bob did, nice and slow, and they explain it well for me compared to other videos. (LOL, I was Bob Ross for halloween a few years ago, had the Bob wig) I'll post other videos I like as I progress.

I know Rob asked about this someplace not to long ago. So this may interest Rob, and anyone else starting out with F360.

Thank you, Ken,

Loved Bob Ross, and I am still watching his previous painting shows. Those 360 tutorials look great! I also think your idea of having a second computer screen might be extremely helpful as well. I oam only hopeful that this old worn out brain still has enough learning power left.:-))

Ken, thank you again for posting this up, I really think the YouTubes will be the breakthrough that I have been looking for. "Go Bob Ross"

Welcome Rob.

This one came across my Youtube feed. Once I get more familiar with the app I'll be watching this video.

Ken,

I have followed your lead about hooking up another monitor and using it as you suggested going through the Fusion 360 learning process.



And I also completed the free software download.



I will be looking at the video you posted up today for sure. Thanks again for starting this Fusin 360 Blog.

Came across another good channel. If you go through his playlists, some topics are repetitive. The one good thing here, for the most part, is he covers one feature in each video. If you want to learn about constraints, thats the video topic, extrude, thats the video topic.
