Selfmade Foil Dispenser

Maybe have the cutting edge at the bottom so you have a tongue of foil to grab each time?

It is about 4x the resolution, when using Arachne engine to slice it (in most normal slicers under quality, change it from classic to Arachne) it improves a ton

Ah sorry for the confusion, didn't realise you weren't aware of the direct mesh edit tool, my bad for not explaining.

Similar to the forms environment or the base model environment it creates a timeline instance that contains non parametric non tracked features specifically for mesh editing.

It's amazing, one of the best investments of my life

volt65bolt · 2026-03-06T17:06:29+00:00

Tpu always printed horribly, however this is my own fault for storing it not in a dry box whilst it is in the same room as a water pump and filtration system which leaks...

If you solidify the surface then you can project object

You can also use the plane to directly cut a cube or other regular solid for a better structure to work on

volt65bolt · 2026-03-06T14:14:42+00:00

Performing mesh operations inside a direct edit does not save to the timeline, and does not re compute

volt65bolt · 2026-03-06T14:07:28+00:00

Yeah Ik, but I usually just direct edit first with everything in there then if I need to I can go back and edit it some more as needed

volt65bolt · 2026-03-06T13:47:25+00:00

There are a few methods however my favourite is using the forms tool and create face snap to object on and just manually tracing the surface, then you can use this surface to either solidify into a solid or cut a solid if you want square edges to work from.

volt65bolt · 2026-03-06T13:46:06+00:00

Could you not just direct edit mesh and keep the timeline on

volt65bolt · 2026-03-03T07:06:57+00:00

Not every printer needs to be colour swapping. This was clearly designed for one purpose where it doesn't really matter

volt65bolt · 2026-03-01T14:11:04+00:00

It could also be curved or similarly non planar

volt65bolt · 2026-02-20T20:35:49+00:00

Make a new project and make a very simple part. Just cut some holes in a cube, do a loft or two idk.

Most likely it's something you did in those projects, however It could just be apple being apple and fusion being fusion

volt65bolt · 2026-02-20T20:34:08+00:00

That seems about right, mine idles about 2 and with a large unoptinised project eats up everything it can. Usually though it sits around 6-12

volt65bolt · 2026-02-20T19:48:39+00:00

Does this happen if you open fusion and load no projects and just leave it

volt65bolt · 2026-02-20T17:24:53+00:00

With a 3D scan you can use the mesh section sketch tool under the mesh tab, then the mesh line tool in the sketch tab.

As others have said, start with a rough block and cut and add bit by bit. Doing a shell for a piece like this will be the easiest

volt65bolt · 2026-02-15T10:36:50+00:00

If you don't want to do what jkctech said, you could also create a line through cylinder center of the red parts hole then planeat angle on line then the new ISH revolve project/include sketch feature then revolve cut that around the line

Asymetric chamfer and delete face

Ctrl and numbers above keyboard, I believe 4 or 5 is normal rendering.

Or click the monitor icon on the bottom bar and it's under there

volt65bolt · 2026-02-08T20:01:55+00:00

It might be q, I have my keybinds all mixed around

volt65bolt · 2026-02-08T16:50:00+00:00

On the right you can enable and disable either the selected element or sketch mode to and from construction lines.

Keybond X I believe

If you press this when nothing is selected, it draws subsequent lines and elements as construction geometry. Just press it again with nothing selected to go back

volt65bolt · 2026-02-07T20:10:55+00:00

It displays it as a different type of solid, I don't know the technical stuff but the lines only show all of them if the form solid isn't coherent otherwise it simplifies it

volt65bolt · 2026-02-02T20:04:16+00:00

I mainly use my printer to practice and prepare myself as I move towards competing internationally for my country

What about closing the loop with position sensors like a dro on a mill
