Solved: Spool Supports for Dry Box

Anonymous · ‎10-29-2020

Can someone tell me how to create the objects posted in Fusion 360?

I am trying to make spool supports in different sizes for my Dry Box and trying to save some material and time.

Not clear what you want,

Time and material savings from those, or you didn’t draw those and you need to?

Hi,

try this:

Thank you for responding

Sorry for not being specific.

I want to learn how to create them in Fusion 360 in different sizes, so I can print them out.

The center hole and the length is the same size for all but the outside diameter is different.

Guenter,

Thank you for replying.

That is exactly what I am looking to create.

I need some instruction on how to create the drawing in Fusion 360 so I can send it to the 3Dprinter for printing.

The center circle and the length remain the same, but the outside diameter changes

Every time I download your attachment it appears in my Fusion 360 then it disappears?

Hi,

here is another (parametric) variant with the possibility to set most sizes individually.

Gunther,
I think I can work with this.
I think I have learned enough on Fusion 360 to make the changes for the
sizes I need.

I do have one question:...on the Screencast you sent me prior to this
follow-up,, how were the two vertical lines at the top of the circle drawn?
Was that the "line" command or rectangle command?
Thanks,
Guy

In this case a centred rectangle was used, which I finally trimmed.

.....File pipe.f3d

Hi Guenther,

It's been awhile and yes I am still having problems!

The file mentioned above (pipe.f3d) works great, (Thank you), for me except I can not change the outside diameter to 57.5 mm.

What I am looking for is a spool with an inside diameter of 28 mm, outside diameter of 57.5 mm and a length of 70 mm.

I was able to change two of the three dimensions, but not the OD.

Can you help me out with this?

I have to make several of them in different sizes, but if you can change the OD it would make it easier for me to do so.

Thanks,

Guy

Work from the inside out, or the extrude will go weird.

For that file, double click the actual dimension text, and change the value

28, and R19 for the inside, ring, then R26.25 and 57.5

Change the extrude to 70.

Not working for you - you will have to say why, or what does happen.

Might help...

Thank you!

That is exactly what I was trying to do.
