How To Design 3D PRINTED Spiral Vases + Plant Pots in Fusion 360

Video Description

STL files: https://www.printables.com/model/802126-twisted-plant-pot-collection-5-varieties In this Fusion 360 tutorial, I'll show you how to design and print unique, sculptural plant pots! During the design process, we’ll cover a variety of useful tools including the create form (AKA T-spline) workspace, creating cylinder forms, creasing edges, doing complex modeling with the "edit form" tool, converting T-spline forms into solid bodies, boundary fills, hollowing out complex forms without using the shell tool, the revolve tool, checking wall thicknesses with the section analysis tool, scaling, slicing and printing! -------- Contents of this video -------- 00:00 - Introduction 00:19 - Create Form 2:35 - Creasing edges 3:24 - Edit form 4:50 - Creating the peaks of the spirals 7:00 - Creating the profile of the plant pot 9:23 - Twisting the pot to create the spirals 12:08 - Converting the form into a solid body with boundary fill 13:55 - Limitations of the shell tool 14:30 - Hollowing out the pot 18:15 - Checking the wall thickness with the section analysis tool 19:13 - Slicing 20:13 - Printing 20:45 - Design your own!
