Course Description
The best way to improve your design skills is just to practice and this is the perfect project to help you sharpen your skills. Like all my other models this one is designed with the intention that it will be 3D printed. Therefore, we will discuss improtant considerations that we'll have to pay attention to along the way.
We'll cover valuable design techniques including:
How to approach a cylindrical design by starting with a sketch and taking advantage of the revolve tool
Designing custom threads using the coil tool
A creative way to use the pipe command
Use the sweep command to make cuts that follow a custom path
Designing two parts that are meant to fit together
Preparing a model for 3D printing using Cura
plus many more
After completing this course you'll feel much more confident in your Fusion 360 skills and in the entire workflow of designing a part for 3D printing. Plus you'll have created a beautiful model to show for it.

Challenging and very educational although. I am going to go back to some of your other courses all nearing completion and try to finish although all good. Tony.

A rewarding and enjoyable project with lots of good tips and tricks. I only wish the course was updated a little better than adding a short lecture about the interface changes. The course was still well worth the price and I recommend it.

Good experience in using and learning about different Fusion360 design tool in practice

Need to refresh my skills ...

Another great course from Vladimir. While I doubt I'll ever print this model, the design process introduced new techniques and the course covers some aspects of printing and iterative refinement.

Learned to use new tools never explained before... makes it awesome to follow along and learn!
By Mark Edinburg on 11/4/2019
Good learning experience from conception to end product and the simplicity of rectifying changes when appropriate. Thank you.

Another great course. This is a great follow-up to V. Mariano's Designing for 3D Printing course.
By Rey Arbolay on 12/3/2018
This is the third class I have taken from Vladimir. He is not only clear and informative, but he also moves the project along at a very nice pace. I love that he uses specific parts of a project to introduce new concepts, even though another tool would have done the same. I will continue taking his classes.
