and the middle section is still attached to the rest of the box.
The controller has some holes at the shoulder buttons resulting in gabs in the controller model and so the box is not cut completely.
So i know where the problem is but i don’t know how to solve this.
I tryed to patch the holes and thicken the patches to get a body. But when i try to cut this body it throws an error saying inconsistent geometry.
I tryed to enlarge the shoulder buttons to close the gabs but still got the same result as in the picture because there seams to still any connections i can’t find.
So i’m asking if any of you guys can lead me to the right direction or can help me with this project.
I made a Xbox controller stand for a guy using fusion 360. I found a 3d model of the controller, and essentially just “cut” it from the stand at the desired depth using the combine function.
That way you can have the controller tilted into a certain position etc, and was the easiest way I could think of while still keeping it looking more fancy than just a basic cutout
Hey Phil the 3D Model is the ps4 one the 1 At the end of the link Dosnt belong top the System.
Thats exactly what i wanted to do. the Problem is the Model is Not one solid Body and is assambled out of more components. The Main Body is just the Controller Shell and is hollow. The shoulder buttons leave a gab at the back and thats why when i cut Not the complete Profile is cut. The Space in the Shell is still left Ehen i cut and is connected with the Rest of the Box. Thats what you See in na picture.
I will make some more pictures when i get Home top explain it a Bit better.
I have limited fusion 360 experience but I thought you would be able to select all components from your PS4 controller model and make it one solid object then just ‘drop’ it into the rectangle above and cut the shape as TheWhittler mentioned.
this is still one body and not the thing in the middle is not a separate body as i hoped. at some points at the shoulder button parts the inner part is still connected to the outer side of the box ( because of the gabs) and there is the connection at the bottom.
The only way i came come up with, is to patch the holes with the patch tool and to make them to a body use the thicken tool.
But when i try to cut with this patted holes i get this error
So im still started with fusion but i don’t know how to separate the inner section or an other way to close the gabs without patching.
there you can see the gab between the shell and the shoulder button cutout.
yeah that might be right but its hard to find any models of the controller that are free so i wanted to try it with this one, i wan’t be able to modle it by my self
how would i go about this? i’m pretty new to fusion.
so Ive looked into mesh mixer and made it to a solid body. i saved as an .obj and went back to fusion.
when i try to cut it but it won’t let me to select the imported mesh. i thought i may have to convert the mesh into Brep but it then throughs an error saying it hast too many faces.
I would Love top Play Around with v carve nur i couldn’t Afford just yet.
I will defenitly buy it some Day.
Till then i wanted to lern Fusion. Thats why i am asking in that Detail.
I’m still new to the topic of 3D carving.
So it has been a while,
sadly i have to come back with same sad news.
first of all i asked in the Autodesk forum how to solve my problems and one of the members was so kindly to give me a prepared model Autodesk Forum Thread
so my final fusion model of the box looks like this
I made my first 3D Cam tool paths in fusion (followed a bunch of tutorials floating around on youtube)
And watched this thing carve in excitement.
Carving 3D for the first time is truly amazing.
unfortunately, the controller dosen’t fit in the carve
After some measurements i figured out the model itself isn’t accurate. the carve came out like the model
So long story short i still need to look for a better model in a cad file or need to find a better way to work with mesh files, because there are far more meshed controllers out there then cad files.
but for now a have to much other projects to do first.
