Solid circle with different heights?

Anonymous
Not applicable

Dear all, I am a rather beginner user of  Fusion 360 (only hobby purpose)

Actually I want to print (3D) an adapter for the fishing rod holder of my dad.

For this, I need to create a solid circle (So far, no issue, outer diameter would be 10cm, done that) extruded it, no issues

BUT:

We require it in a slope way; meaning: 1 side has 2,2cm height, the opposite side has only 1 cm height.)

I have been unable to find out how to do that.

(I'll be required to add 2 * M9 holes for screws later on but for now I am struggling on how to create that "slope")

I inserted into this post, a pic of the quick drawing to visualize what I mean.

Do you have any idea how to do that and where to find it?

I am running v 2.0.4391

Same as your diagram/s, a few ways to do it, to keep it simple, 

 

Make a sketch for the holes on the top or bottom of the cylinder, and draw the holes circles.

Then Create > Extrude > Cut All. Select your circles and drag through.

 

Make a sketch for the side view, draw the slanted line, dimensioned for your sizes, stop the sketch, 

use Modify > Split Body, select the cylinder, then the slanted line as the cutter.

Hide or Remove the top section, but don’t delete it.

 

Might help....

Thanks for your effort but I am not able to follow these steps.

The holes are not so important for now so I skipped that part.

 

slanted line? I am not sure how I actually could draw it?

I tried by using this guide: https://www.instructables.com/id/Getting-Started-with-Autodesk-Fusion-360-361/

 

because in the end, this is what I want.

I calculated the degrees which should be 6,84.

But I cannot choose draft workplace, it's only allowing me to use the faces.

 

I'm afraid and really sorry that I have not been able to follow your answer.

Sorry, I don’t have access to a Fusion desktop for 9 more days, so Ed’s video shows another way to do things, he puts the holes into the cylinder in one go, and that is better than I will do it later.

 

On the side view of this cylinder, on the correct Origin Plane, related to the cut to the circles, 

create the second sketch.  Line tool, draw a line that is the same as your diagram.

 

project the line that comes from the top or bottom of the cylinder.

dimension this line, and your slanted angle line to 6.84 degrees.  Move the line or dimension it for the correct height, then you will be ready to Split Body, with the slanted line.

 

Draft on face should work the same as the video.  “Faces” is correct, for this job.

There are many ways to do the same thing, Ed could have Extrude cut the top off, cause his version has the closed triangle.  Split Body does not need the triangle.
