Everyone,
During Tim’s Online SIG I admitted to having been “cramming” to not look dumb.
The class I’ve taken is on Udemy, entitled “Fusion 360 for Hobbyists and Woodworkers”.
It’s not free but I think I paid something like $10. It was fast paced but I learned a lot.
With this title, I thought I would repost the links mentioned elsewhere. Maybe this thread can be the repository of these kinds of links.
Official AutoDesk Fusion 360 self-paced learning
this is fairly involved, and a thorough reference
Learn Fusion 360 or Die Trying
a good informal series
Product Design Online
my personal favorite
The Fusion Essentials
some good woodworking specific lessons included
For those who have experience with Solidworks or MasterCAM, Autodesk has self-paced learning on transitioning to Fusion 360.
Here is a video on Appearances and Rendering. We will have a session on this subject at some point, as it can get a bit complicated.
Another topic that came up was Bodies vs Components. Rob suggested a good video that explains this subject much better than I can. There is also some discussion of Top Down design, a subject that I want to expand on once we get a few basic skills under our belts.
In Monday’s session, there was a question about importing STL meshes to Fusion 360 and converting them to a solid. After conversion, we may be able to make some edits, though I haven’t played with the edits yet. Here is a video on the subject:
Udemy must be getting a great response from Dallas’s endorsement. It looks like they jacked up the price to $199.99 for the course.
Udemy’s model is regular flash sales.
I’ve never paid full price for any class there.
Just find the class, “heart” the class, and wait for notice of a sale.
Most of the time I’ve paid between 10% and 15% of the list price.
You can get up to 95% off Udemy classes using the following code: UDEAFFDR220.
Availability is now and there are exclusions but it’s worth a try. Good luck!
Had to try a couple times, got the invalid code message but then the price dropped to $25. Thanks for the tip and the discount code! Others may want to try it also.
