@TinWhisperer

I know you mean some of those kind of things haunt me. If you get to a point you want to share your f3d file I could take a look.

So after messing with this shelf some more last night(for longer then I would like to admit) I got the flat pattern to work but I am having issues with unfold.

The flat pattern works with the flanges in direct contact but I cant get it to unfold as you did in your bracket video,

I wanted to do some bend relief cuts like you did in the bracket video because I am going to have to do the bends by hand or with an improvised “bending brake”, I made out of some scrap I had lying around that I clamp to my welding table.

The only way I can get it to unfold is if I have a gap the thickness of the material between my tabs and the adjacent flange.

So I guess my question is… is this gap it is showing normal and required or am I fouling the unfold feature with some mistake I have made along the way. I have tried all sorts of different ways to make this work folded it multiple different directions used every different type of flange tool and rule that I could think of.

It looks like maybe when you did your flange you selected a outside offset instead of a center or inside offset.

Go back in your history and check that flange.

Post your f3d and I can take a look at it.

[72Pony]

I can get the flanges to make contact using different offsets. I just can’t get it to unfold when I do that.

I tried all of them, inside, outside …upside down…

Okay… I have officially been reading to many kids books at night.

[TinWhisperer]

I’m at work for a while yet I just happened to be home a few minutes ago to use the computer.

I’m sure we can find the error and we’ll both learn something from it

[TinWhisperer]

I am starting a live stream now.

We are going to be working through @72Pony 's sheet metal shelf flat pattern issue.

[TinWhisperer]

Here is the finished result.

At the 14 minute mark I get into the meat of the solution But you may want to watch the whole video for context.

[72Pony]

Thanks SO much for helping me out and taking the time to go through that!! I was hours into trying to find a solution and you solved it in no time!

I learn something new from all your videos!

Really appreciate the time and effort you put into teaching us how to run these things!!

…And thanks for not solving it in under 30 seconds.

[72Pony]

Also thanks for going through the rendering process. I didn’t even know that was there.

[TinWhisperer]

You’re welcome.

I get to learn a lot myself running into issues that I might not come across myself.

@72Pony

And thanks for not solving it in under 30 seconds

I’m definitely not at that level .

@72Pony

Also thanks for going through the rendering process.

I was thinking I should pepper new techniques and features in as I’m doing these videos.

I wish he would put on a class at his house called… How to work a full time job, be married, take care of your home, teach fusion, teach everything else you can think of, learn 3d scanning, make videos, edit videos, eat 3 meals a day, answer 60% or more of the questions asked on the forum, help people behind the scenes, learn how to live stream, sleep, bathe, (I could keep going)

Just think about all the stuff he does, as I say he is a freaking machine!!! (not sure that really describes him)

[TinWhisperer]

Here is a new stream about a WCS ( Work Coordinate System ) issue @Wsidr1 was having.

Sketch Plane Re-Assignment?

Hey @TinWhisperer I am having the same cut direction problem with another file. Again, it’s one I pulled form Fileshare and reworked. This one, literally everything except a few of the letters needed to be redone. When I start from scratch and select my own sketch plane, I have no issues. When I select the cuts, the direction is again improperly oriented. I have the settings in the “Setup” the same as you showed me last time regarding Orientation and Model: [Steelers Image 1] [Steelers…

Enjoy.

The WCS is a way of saying how the material (work) will be ordinated to the CNC machine.

I’m going to live stream in about 10-15 minutes. (4:45am pst)
I’m going to come up with a different version of the large beam hanger made out of quarter inch plate that was working on the other day.

Also I noticed my videos from a week ago are disappearing off twitch now.
I’m going to try to upload all those videos to YouTube and replace the twitch links so people still have access to the videos.

But I will still do live streams on twitch I’ll just make sure I also upload it to YouTube in the future.

[TomWS]

It would be good if you can move these to YouTube. I tried to follow one of the Twitch ones and it was pretty much unusable on my crappy network.

[Knick]

You make it look so easy.

[TinWhisperer]

I will do. I think twitch want to stream in 1080 p

[TomWS]

@TinWhisperer

I think twitch want to stream in 1080 p

That’s not a problem with YouTube, but their buffering algorithm seems much more tolerant of widely varying bandwidths.

Given that Twitch is for Gamers, they can get away with expecting high bandwidth connections.

starting a live stream in 15minutes about turning this image into a usable, cutable DXF.

here are the files from the live stream.

Turning an image into a usable file to be cut by a Langmuir plasma CNC using Fusion 360.

[TinWhisperer]

I am starting a live stream where I’ll make some random fish signs.

[SWomack]

I can totally relate to this. I’ve read the instructions for pressure relief on my new spray gun at least 10 times and been in “squirrel” mode every time…

[TinWhisperer]

I’m going to start a live stream 4:30am pst today

It’ll be a continuation on the post and beam brackets that was working on the prototype it’s done and we’re happy with the way it turned out. So time to make a few different sizes.

Here’s a few pictures of the prototype.
