Help Creating Radius

[serviceT7GZW]

I am looking to model the part in the canvas tab. psi.75mm.CLVS

All relevant info is in the canvas tab.

I can not seem to create the lower radius that creates a circular form around the bottom part. I hope that makes sense.

If anyone can suggest a tip that would be great. Thank you.

I think I can help if you are willing to start over from scratch, otherwise let me know if you pass on my offer and someone else will help from where you are in the design.

[serviceT7GZW]

I am all ears. Just want to get this project finished.

Thank you.

I am about to sit down for supper.

Check back in a little while and I will demonstrate how to model the part.

Are you going to 3D print this, or are you going to machine it? 

(Note that the "threads" are cosmetic - will not print.)

[serviceT7GZW]

No worries, take your time.

I will check back in an hours time?

This is going to be machined.

I am just about finished with the part.

I need to double check everything and then I can start with the instructions.

OK, I found one feature that I missed.

There might be others that I have to resolve...

[serviceT7GZW]

That looks a lot closer than I was.

Like you said some features are missing, but wow.

I cannot wait to learn how you did it.

Thank you!

You will have to come back tomorrow for the instructions - but I think you are going to be amazed by the simplicity and learn a lot.  It will probably be a combination of video instructions and written instructions.

What time zone are you in?

(I am in Florida.)

Hint: Think about cutting from stock out on the shop floor rather than modeling in finished form.

[serviceT7GZW]

@TheCADWhisperer 

Any instruction is great!

I will be out this weekend but I will check back in on Monday.

PST time zone. California.

I think I see what you are hinting at. Thanks again.

This is a challenging part - be sure to eat your Wheaties Monday morning. 😋

Lets start by placing and calibrating existing reference images in canvas.

Attach your progress file here for next set of steps.

 I don't know whether you are on Windows or Mac OS, so I Attached the starting images below.

[serviceT7GZW]

@TheCADWhisperer 

Thanks for the video. I have attached the file as you instructed!

[TheCADWhisperer]

@serviceT7GZW 

Somehow you got the wrong scale in the Bottom View canvas.  You don't have to undo anything - simply Calibrate again and enter the correct dimension.

I have the final video recorded for modeling the geometry, but somehow I screwed up while editing out uhms and ahs and need to re-edit the video.  Going through the video edit I think that I have made the modeling process easy to understand.

Back in a while.

As promised - here is a video of my steps.

Hey Fusion experts.

Anybody have an alternative technique for modeling this part?

@serviceT7GZW 

If you are making manufacturing configurations, I recommend that you drag Extrude2 on the Timeline to occur before Extrude1.  

Edit: Oops, I just discovered that I accidently duplicated a small bit of the video.

[TheCADWhisperer]

@serviceT7GZW 

I discovered an anomaly in the drawing and some technique considerations that might be worth considering.

Check back in a while for another video.

Hello @TheCADWhisperer ,

Hello,
First I would like to thank you for sharing your experience
I have recreated the model on my side with the help of your videos
I attach the screenshots that show the construction differences
Front view: the outside angle of 57° end with 1.039" dimension, the inside angle of 34° is not right because this angle is defined with 0.90" dimension and coincident points
Side view: I define the dimension 3.68" tangent to arc R 0.708" so chamfer angle is not 5° but 4.5008°
I ​​can say that I have progressed mainly with the intersect function

[TheCADWhisperer]

Super progress. 👍

[serviceT7GZW]

@TheCADWhispererYour videos were of great help! I appreciate your time and effort into this.

@user015M86YI was able to change the side view angles to 4.5° and bring the height to the correct dimension. I am not familiar with intersect function but it looks like I will have to learn that.

I am not 100% certain on what you mean " Front view: the outside angle of 57° end with 1.039" dimension, the inside angle of 34° is not right because this angle is defined with 0.90" dimension and coincident points."

@serviceT7GZW,
