Fusion 360 for 3D Printing - Design Fidget Spinners

Fusion 360's updated user interface reorganizes tools into design, create, and modify menus, clarifies sketch versus 3D modes, and moves the 3D print option to tools for a streamlined workflow.

Design a ring spinner by sketching a circle for a 22.1 mm hole, offsetting to form the outer ring, then extruding to seven millimeters.

Learn to create a circular pattern in Fusion 360 and preview the ring. Adjust extrusions, modify channels, and apply rubber appearance for a customizable, printable fidget spinner.

Design a three-ring fidget spinner in Fusion 360 for 3d printing by sketching circles, extruding, and using move/copy or rectangular pattern to create and combine three bodies.

Sketch a half-profile and revolve it to create finger pads for a fidget spinner, aligning to a 22 mm bearing and using constraints and dimensions.

design a batman themed fidget spinner in fusion 360 for 3d printing by sketching half, applying offsets, constraints, mirroring, and extruding 7 mm, then fillet edges for a smooth finish.

design a three-sided hex nut spinner for 3d printing in fusion 360 by sketching a 22.1 mm circle offset 3 mm and a 12.6 mm hex hole.

Design a triple hollow spinner with concentric constraints, offsets, and equal constraints to create three arms; extrude to 7 mm, apply circular pattern, and combine into one part.

Design a parametric spinner in Fusion 360 for 3D printing that uses coins as weights and updates with coin diameter and arm count via user parameters.

Explore parametric design in fusion 360 by creating adjustable quoin diameter, arm distance, offset, thickness, and tolerance, updating sketches live, combining arms into one body, and previewing printer tolerances.

Design a gear spinner in fusion 360 for 3d printing by importing gears from McMaster-Carr and refining bearings, sides, and finger pads.

Verify gear dimensions in fusion 360 by sketching outer and pitch diameters and converting units, then scale to 30 mm outer diameter and re-extrude a 22.1 mm bearing circle.

Measure gear thickness, apply non-uniform z-scale 1.008 for a flush fit, then set 28.2 mm pitch diameter with 0.4 mm tolerance to mesh three gears at 120 degrees.

Save the project and name the side component, then sketch on the xy plane to fit bearing, create arcs and offsets, and extrude plus mirror to form the geared spinner.

Use the section analysis tool to measure distances, move a bearing 1 millimeter before mirroring, and create three bearings with a circular pattern from McMaster-Carr components.

Design a finger pad gear component in Fusion 360 for a 3D printed fidget spinner, using sketches, extrusions, joins, mirror, and section analysis to verify fit.

Apply materials to the fidget spinner model, experimenting with chrome bearings, red aluminum, and glassy blue finishes. Set lighting, environment, and render settings for a final image.
