Day 9 (2026) 👉 youtu.be/Pj38QvHNI_Q
Welcome to Day 8 of the official "Learn Autodesk Fusion in 30 Days" series (2026 version)! Today, we are modeling a 3D printable door stop. Today, we'll look at how Thin Extrude can save you time compared to using the Shell tool. You'll also learn how to add new selection sets when applying Filelts, how to extrude 'to object', and more!

12:11 - Why STEP Files are Better than STL
12:35 - Exporting for 3D Printing
13:21 - Day 9 Light Bulb with primitives
KEY TOPICS COVERED
-Master the Thin Extrude: Learn how to create complex walls and hollow structures instantly from a single sketch line without using the Shell command.
-Control Pattern on Path: Discover how to wrap features around complex contours and use the "Orientation" setting to make objects follow a curved track.
-Smart Parametric Tangency: Use Tangent constraints to build internal supports that automatically resize and stay connected when your main dimensions change.
-Optimizing for 3D Printing: Understand why you should export as STEP files instead of STL for smoother curves and better print quality.
