Help! How do you create a cone in fusion 360?
Ah, yes. Trim Tool, my old friend.
Looks like a colonoscopy staring back at the doctor.
Did you find a solution to the 9mm thickness? Multiple lofts would also give me better accuracy, since loft from start to finish caused the adapter to become 5% too big in the middle.
Studies in multiple lofts:
A. Using all the ring to loft. At least is would make an interesting vase.
B. This one has potential. I had to skip the two last sketched rings before the quarter arc. But it has a little pot belly.
B. It loooks smaller but is also wider.
B. Still not satisfied with the shape. That pot belly needs to go! 😛
C.
This one has potential. And the middle ring is controlling the volume to not become too big. But something makes it arch backwards at the top.
C, Yeah, no...
I tried Stitch, but could not get rid of the yellow surface, and thicken did not work. Then I tried Patch on the open holes, and Stitch again, but now it is a bit too solid. Can't get it worse!
Back to the roots. Starting with the leg of origin. Create> Thicken. Then pick A surface of the leg - because after lofting a circle to a quarter cricle it will have several surfaces that are individually selectable:
Wouldn't that have been amazing if it worked... Now it it is full of jagged edges.
Doing the same thing again, but not selecting the three surface individually. My monster of a PC was struggling for 45 seconds, but we have a wiener!
Except, the hole imploded.
Interesting idea of thickening. 😄
It must be a bug in Fusion. I tried it exactly the same way and it worked.
Okay, I sort of knew it would not work to thicken and THEN use Circular Pattern x4.
Trying to thicken after circular pattern did not work. I think Fusion is saying that this is full of holes and will not work. So I should stitch, patch, stitch, and thicken, which did not work. Back to square one.
I think I was just doing a poor job stitching. This time it worked. All I needed was to stitch and then try thicken again, and it even created a nice solid body for me.
I am not sure what you meant with Shell.
To manufacture it with as little sanding as possible, I started thinking about having the middle part cut out in CNC, with a pattern like on a geodesic dome, despite its irregular shape. I presume it involves unwrap in another software, but first I need to make the triangular or hexagonal splits.
Do you know how to do this?
Shell is a CAD function.
"pattern like on a geodesic dome"
These are planar faces.
Is that how you want to manufacture your design (planar faces rather than steamed and bent wood)?
Voronoi Add-On worked wonders, but the shape is leading to some very artistically interpreted hexagons.
I ended up with not hexagons at all, and even so, I would need a lot of grinding to have it look smooth:
The above piece I took out is one of the better looking pieces.
