Design a Fidget Cone in Fusion for 3D Printing

In this Fusion tutorial (formerly known as Fusion 360), I’ll walk you through the process of designing a fidget cone for 3D printing and then animating it. Whether you're new to Fusion or an experienced user, this video will teach you step-by-step how to create this fun 3D model! 🛠️✨

We’ll start by creating a center diameter circle and extruding it into a cone shape. We’ll go through some important design steps like projection, offsetting, and using the Sweep command to cut the profile. Then, we’ll show you how to add a 360-degree rotation and a movement animation to make your design come to life! 🎬🔄

🖱️ Keyboard shortcuts will appear in the bottom left corner to help you follow along smoothly.

This tutorial is perfect for anyone looking to improve their Fusion skills, especially for 3D printing enthusiasts. Remember to experiment with your own measurements to create a custom fidget cone that fits your needs!

🔧 Key Topics Covered:

Using Fusion for 3D modeling (formerly Fusion 360)
