How To Design 3D PRINTED Spiral Vases + Plant Pots in Fusion 360

STL files: https://www.printables.com/model/8021...

In this Fusion 360 tutorial, I'll show you how to design and print unique, sculptural plant pots!

During the design process, we’ll cover a variety of useful tools including the create form (AKA T-spline) workspace, creating cylinder forms, creasing edges, doing complex modeling with the "edit form" tool, converting T-spline forms into solid bodies, boundary fills, hollowing out complex forms without using the shell tool, the revolve tool, checking wall thicknesses with the section analysis tool, scaling, slicing and printing!
