Laser-cut laptop stand designed in Fusion 360

The dataminers at Google/YouTube recommended this video to me and I figured I’d pass it along.

It’s a good tutorial that covers sketch constraints and dimensions, plane creation, mirroring, bolean subtraction, fillets, going back in the timeline, named/defined variables, and (perhaps most appealing) parametric material thickness. (there’s prolly some other stuff in there too)

Enjoy!

Here’s another one that is very similar as well. Liked them both. Both bookmarked for some time now. :slight_smile:

If you’ve never used Fusion360, you need to watch these for sure. I used them both to build a shelf for the kids room. First project and it came out great!
The tools and the videos are free! Try it!

Just watched this again - it’s amazing how much more of it I understood the second time around.
(not so much the first time.)

Doing F360 vid makes me so glad to have two monitors. I will put the vid on the right and F360 in front of me and work along pausing the “tape” until I get it.

Just happened to watch this video yesterday. Good starting point for learning the program.
