Oi, stop picking on Tom and Dave or they'll cry and their Mum's'll sort you out after school

Tom

Scope mounts on your smart phone sounds cool Big Grin

does it auto correct your aim? Smile

With some of the stuff auto correct kicks out, I'm not sure I'd want it to auto correct!

Dear autocorrect: I will NEVER use "ducking" in a sentence.

I have been using Fusion 360 for a few months and while the 3D modelling is very good the CAM is even better. I have been building a helicopter simulator and all the parts were modelled in Fusion. Here are a couple shots of the main panel.

I can see a major problem with this CAD business- once I get proficient in CAD, I am never going to be able to produce a part that looks as good as the drawing.

RE: OnShape, a Free 3D CAD Program - Vinny - 01-18-2016

You and me both, Pete! That's why I stick with hand sketches, the finished product ALWAYS looks magnitudes better!!

RE: OnShape, a Free 3D CAD Program - Shawn - 01-18-2016

It can be tough to live up to the renders for sure, I think every part on this panel was made at least twice! Keeps the bar high though?

Has anyone reading got experience of using a 4th axis with fusion?

Looking at a few forums it seems that that bit of the code isn't finished yet. Indexing is I think done, but not continuous rotation machining, but t is under development. It was the 4th axis issue that got me looking around as its a limitation in my rather old version of FeatureCAM.

So I hope that they do sort it ?

Nice work Shawn.

Me - I hope they have a filter that will put machine marks and poorly done chamfers onto the image, as an alternative to the default glossy, mirror finish, with reflection filter.

Then it would better resemble my work Big Grin

Yes very nice Shawn. I think you should keep going and build a whole helicopter.
