Week 01

My first time using CAD


Introduction

This was the start of my "How to Make (Almost) Anything" journey. I downloaded and installed Autodesk Fusion 360 for the first time. I got familiar with making sketches, extrusions, and basic shapes. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos on how to make basic designs and use simple "solid" tools. I created a simple version of what my final project could look like. See images below.

For more information about my final project, see my final project page.

Here is a short video recording of my first, very basic, project design. I aimed to create a toy for Lucas with a small base which could sit on the table. Above the base is an interactive top with multiple buttons to record audio, playback audio, and other functions not yet defined.
