How to stitch?

[louisa_ors_2008]

Hello, this is my first time using fusion for my physics project. Can you tell me how to stitch? I tried to follow on youtube but it didnt work out. Thanks!

Please attach your model.  Open it in Fusion, select the File menu then Export and save to your hard drive.  Use the attachment section of a reply post to attach it.

Hi,

We are not going to be able to help you without the file. Please export it so we can look at it.

What I can see is a whole bunch of yellow icons in the timelines which are unrepaired warnings that will not be

helping.

What are you trying to stitch? Stitch is normally used to join surfaces up to make a shape watertight. Is this model

supposed to be 3d printed? This is not the way to model it if it is. What exactly are you trying to achieve here?

Yes, this should be 3d printed. I'm clueless about this, I'm really sorry if I don't understand what are you trying to say. So the person from 3d printer says I should stitch that part and I don't really understand. Thanks for the stitch explanation!

Hi,

You would be far better off modelling this as a solid model and then exporting it as an stl file so you can print it directly.

What you seem to be doing is creating the exterior shell of the model instead of the model itself. If you create this as a

solid model with all of the features you want, when you export it as an stl file it will have all of the information that is

needed to 3d print.

so what should I do to stitch them? Should I make another design? or fix it? which one is easier?

Hi,

In some cases, starting again is much quicker than trying to fix what you already have. I think this is one of those

times. If you solid model this you can export it as an stl file and that can be directly 3d printed.

Make sure all of your sketches are simple and fully defined. Make sure that there are no yellow or red icons in the

timeline. Ask the forum for more help if you need it.

thanks Andrew 😁

I think before starting another model it would help you if you would complete one of the beginner courses here:

Start with the Introduction to Fusion. Some of your questions will be answered but you'll have more questions afterward. You'll be much better equipped to ask those questions and will receive much better feedback.
