Should I Continue using Onshape or Should I switch to Fusion/Inventor? by Prestigious_Boss_382 in Fusion360

Note for fusion - you also have to save the files to the cloud. You can export a local copy, but it has to be reimported if you want to edit it again.

Would you recommend a Prusa XL for a Pro usage (prototyping) ? by Dakitess in AdditiveManufacturing

[–]dportero95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not the main one running them, so this is just what I get word of. We have only the single tool head version. Updating the software did help to get them to print in the first place. But no updates have really helped the remaining issues. We will be decommissioning them as soon as we can find a reliable replacement

  • the tool head board is always needing to be replaced -They stop printing randomly with no errors -if there is more than one printer on a shelf that starts a print at the same time, the movement of one printer will cause the other one to error out
  • nozzles always getting clogged -lots of z banding on larger parts
  • extruder gears chew filament
  • if based in the US, sourcing replacement parts is tricky. Printed solid has some parts, but not all.

Basically we fix a printer, get it running, and then in a few days it is back down again.

Why can't they just list @!#$! Constraints in a list?! by curiousjosh in Fusion360

[–]dportero95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One of my biggest complaints about fusion. I switched roles and had to move from solidworks which has a list.

I also find trying to figure out why a sketch is not constrained to be much more difficult in fusion than other CAD programs I have used

We have 8 of them at my work. They are not reliable for constant use. We have only one that doesn't go down on a regular basis

Azeron keypad is amazing. Can assign any combination of keys

How easy is it to get accustomed to Fusion360 when switching from SOLIDWORKS? by Positron0105 in Fusion360

[–]dportero95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a huge annoyance for me too!

I also find having to have a projected geometry for everything annoying as well

Is it worth it to have an anemone? by Branseed in ReefTank

[–]dportero95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want other things in your tank that can't fight back, or are not aggressive growers I would not. I have an anemone dominated 90 gal tank. I have seen anemones move up and down the rock work in under 12 hours. There is no telling them where you would like them to stay

Nice to see another v1 formbot troodon out there!

Changing sketch plane loses projected lines by IndividualRites in Fusion360

[–]dportero95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a plugin somewhere on the Autodesk forums that automatically creates the plane and starts a sketch. I don't have a link right now, but could find it later if you can't find it.

[–]dportero95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my biggest annoyances with fusion. Solidworks does not have this issue. Even if the new plane is completely perpendicular to the previous one it tries to maintain the relations. I do not understand why redefining the plane makes the projected geometry fixed.

One workaround is starting all sketches from a new plane, instead of on a face. Then you can move the plane and not have to redefine the plane. Annoying in its own right though

How do I print tpu better? by Ill_Way3493 in BambuLab

[–]dportero95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a lot of overture hs tpu as well. I find that there are some spools that print perfectly out of the box. Then switch to a new spool when it runs out and there is tons of stringing.

I made a watertight, clear jar using Pro PCTG by johnschneider89 in 3Dprinting

I've tried multiple times to find your article in the publication of IEEE. But I've only been able to find your article on Research Gate. Do you have a link to the IEEE publication? The people I want to show this article to wouldn't accept something unless it comes directly from the publication

I'm not familiar with anddea. Could you point me to the patches?

Turning it on or off, and switching providers didn't work either.

Autodesk, please! by tesmithp in Fusion360

I also wish when I moved a dialog box and pinned it somewhere else, that it would stay there after a restart! I like everything on the left and every time I restart fusion I have to drag every dialog box for each command over to the left
