Ok Again thank you for doing this.
To answer your question on my sketch lines being off from my pencil lines, that is to allow me some room to weld. I will post pictures when done.
I learned some more from that video, now retaining it… well will see how that goes.

You’re welcome
Looks Perfect, you did a great job with it.
When you did that scan did you put a ruler on it and scale off that? Using calibrate in Fusion 360?

No I just measured of the drawing I made. I remember you talking about that, but forgot to try it.
First time I drew it on a piece of paper and then took a picture. Thanks to you I learned to scan the drawing which works 10 times better

Starting a live stream at 4:45a pst to recreate and walkthrough this scenario.
We will discuss
The setup menu in manufacturing
Multi profiles under one setup
Template for the 2D profile menu
So I have one “Drawing” that has 4 variations of a design on it, all on 1 sketch as well. I did this just during the design phase of the part because it was easy to copy/scale with slight modifications for each one. Now I’ve been asked to cut the parts…honestly I would have done it differently if I actually thought it would happen…but here I am.
I need each one of these parts to have 2 profiles, (1) for the body and (1) for holes. Is there a way to organize these parts at this point that wil…

I need each one of these parts to have 2 profiles, (1) for the body and (1) for holes. Is there a way to organize these parts at this point that will allow me to cut parts A, B, C, and D (which each uses 2 profiles) individually and not the entire program of the 4 main parts at once?
Hopefully this makes sense, ultimately I think I’m looking for guidance on what the manufacture file structure should look like if this is possible. Or do I just create a new drawing for each by copying/pasting?

Very nice! I was familiar with templates but have not used them yet.
In my mind, I create some of the same settings but by using templates I could let some of my gray matter get a break.
As always, the time you take to explain these settings helping to make more sense out of the work flow, is much appreciated!
(Note: I have had the same issue dragging the tool path and not seeing the blue indicator!!! Weird.)

This time we create some replacement BBQ parts for a friend.
We will run through the entire procedure of turning these photos, notes and diagrams to G-code using Autodesk Fusion.
3x grill pieces made from 1/4" plate to replace the stamped metal ones.
1x bracket make from 14 ga stainless steel.
Will aim to get started at 630pm PST April 18 2024.
Live Streaming on Twitch and Youtube
and this time I’ll also be on the Langmuir Discord Channel under Twitch Live stream during the stream.
It should be a easy going straight forward and practical project.
Edit: I forgot I have to help my kid build her school egg drop contest thing tonight so we’ll have to postpone the live stream till tomorrow night. April 18

I like the wavy or the zig-zag, but knowing you, you will surprise us with a totally different design by the time it hits the press!

This time we will do a Fusion video but this will be for a 3D printed clay stamp instead of plasma cutting.
We will go through the whole process of taking a couple pictures of a clay stamp impression, designing a tool to create that stamp, export the design to Bambu studios and 3D printing it.
Here is a example of a stamp like this I have made before.
will start a 5:30am+/- pst this morning.
I’ll also be in the discord channel.
Discord is the easiest way to communicate over voice, video, and text. Chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.

And it ended.
Voice audio was fine, music was too loud. Maybe kill music when you start?

What will that be used for? Ceramics or pottery?
It will be for pottery I believe.
