How To Easily 3D Model A 3D Printable Hinge That Prints In Place With No Supports

A step-by-step tutorial on how to 3D model your own small box with a print-in-place hinge in Autodesk Fusion 360. I tried to make it as beginner-friendly as possible, so hopefully, anyone can follow along regardless of experience level! By the end of this video, you will be able to model your own print-in-place box with a hinge, and hopefully have the tool you need to create your very own designs.

Timeline:
0:00-1:34 Intro/Basic Fusion 360 Navigation
1:35-2:15 Summary of What We're Doing
2:16-8:00 Sketching/Creating The Box & Lid
8:01-16:03 The Halfway Rule: Finding The Pivot Point (Axis of Rotation)
16:04-23:25 Creating The Hinge
23:26-26:20 Splitting The Hinge Up
26:21-36:05 Connecting The Hinge To The Box & Lid
36:06-38:20 Creating The Hinge Shaft
