hey guys and welcome back to another

video of a spark plug so in this video

tutorial I am going to show you how to

make this hose pipe in fusion 360 and

here's the tool EDL to be drawing of it

you guys can find the downloadable link

to this file in the description below so

don't forget to check it out

so here it is are being brought up front

view and a side view and some cut

section which represent the overall

thickness of the pipe and the outer die

of the pipe and the cut section here

which represents that either of the

mounting on which this pipe is supposed

to be mounted so basically the pretty

part is not be that this triangular

mounting the tricky part is to make this

pipe in all across three axes at once so

basically what I'm going to do is I am

going to sketch this this snake-like

profile or repressive presenting on the

front view and then I am going to make

the same thing on the side view and then

I am going to make a combination of

these two sketch which will further we

use to make us wave off suppose that

outer diameter is 52 we are going to

make a sweep on that profile so diameter

would be off 50mm and then we will deal

with the thickness kind of and this

mounting kind of stuff

so what what I am going to do is I'm

going to make this profile on front view

we will start by making a straight line

upward distance of it 50 at represent

here then at our kinnear another arc and

then on straight line up to this point

this is the center of the hold so what I

am going to do is go back to the new

design click on create a sketch and on

the weary front plane start making your

sketch press elf online and draw a

horizontal line of 50 mm dimension you

can give it to a dimension of 50 mm and

press Enter

now the next step is to make this arc

the radius of this arc is 60 and the

distance is 50 from the horizontal

and vertically is distance is 60 mm what

I am going to do it I am going to create

a circle of daya 120 mm which represents

radius of 60 mm as mentioned here and

the distance from the bottom of this

point is 50 and here's what a key is 16

so I am what I am going to do is shift

it like this this T 4 dimension and from

origin given it a dimension of 50 mm and

from this gave it a dimensional steel

Emin like this now I am going to make

the another arc like this of area 60

this time the distance would be ones

forty seven point five from the bottom

and towards the left vertical distance

would be 10 mm so again press C for

circle again draw a circle of 120 gaya

and press enter press D and give it a

dimension from the bottom of one forty

seven point five and press Enter and

vertically this distance from that point

would be ten like this so once did

once done the only thing left is to make

this particular line as you can still

see the center distance from this point

to the bottom is given 150 mm so what

I'm going to do and of course a distance

lambda a distance of this line from this

line is given it's 50 here what I am

going to do is press a line and draw a

line like this and press d for dimension

select this line and the first line you

have drawn and give it a dimension of as

you can see the dimension is 50 mm so

they belittle dimension of 50 mm and

press enter now the top point from this

very point is going to be this given the

center point of the circle from the

bottom is 150 so I am going to make this

as

150 and press Enter

you spread it down so here is the line

just drag it down because we don't mean

here it here now what you have to do is

as due to some in due to some mistakes

in measurements in micron levels we used

to make Indian constraint between these

components so for that what I have to do

is what I'm going to do is suppose just

delete that 64 now and give the tangent

relation between this circle and this

light and other click on this circle and

this circle but before that delete this

tangent line

delete this 10mm and press enter and

again click on this circle and this

circle and maintain in relation again

delegate this 50 mm dimension also and

give the dimension our tangent

relationship between this line and this

line once done press T for trim delete

these this excess part which we don't

require like this a very small part of

that line that we have drawn will be

left here and press ENTER once turn now

all we left is this go with finish the

sketch for now click connect symmetric

view now once completely completed with

the sketch we are going to make the meet

this sketch on the side view so for that

you go to create a sketch and take the

side plane now yet here's the sketch so

now what I'm going to do is I'm going to

make this dotted line dotted part so as

you guys can see basically this is

actually a l with the radius of 70 mm at

the center so I am going to make this L

from the very bottom point up to a

distance of 150 and a distance from here

to here is hindered mm so press L for

line from this point to this point and

here's the L so this

is from this point to this point a

dimension would be 150 this line would

be off hundred mm yeah hundred mm and

this 150 and the radius is ah are 70 so

press fill it so let this line this line

and give me the radius of 70 mm bring

back the earliest which we have drawn

and click on finish the sketch now once

turn what I am going to do is I am going

to combine these two is sketch to make

our 3d sketch so contact if yes if you

are familiar with the book space of

solid also cat-eared is a command called

for my sketch which basically combines a

2-dimensional sketch and creates a

three-dimensional respect with respect

to that but in future if we don't have

such options who I am going to do is and

this is basically my way of doing things

they might they might be some another

good ways so please comment in the

comment section below if you are if you

are having any good at half ways so what

I'm going to do for now the switch

switch off the first sketch go to create

extrude and extrude the second sketch we

have drawn and distance would be

symmetric so it will be a new body

dimension 50mm would be okay

and press okay now bring that the first

sketch and click on stool extrude this

line and this time a symmetric the

distance would be symmetric and the

total distance one sided distance would

be hundred mm the reason why I am making

this hundred mm because if we just look

closely the distance from this warm

point towards this part to the outer

outer most point is hindered mm that's

why I am taking this extrude up to a

distance of hundred mm so that it don't

get away from this point so once done

what I'm going to do is I'm going to

click on the trim command I'm going

to now select the trim command and

select the second extrusion of hundred

mm both side which you have drawn and

then select on the first X tool in which

you have made and press ok

what it will do it will trim the first

extrusion with respect to the second

extrusion so let's just hide the second

extrusion and here we are here's what we

got here is with us now again go to

solid and now we are going to leave the

pipe UV I have their adoption this

another option you can actually sweep

the circular profile the simplest way is

to make the file what it will ask you

about the path so don't forget to

uncheck the change selection select on

this point this select all these lines

of fluid is up to

okay one thing I have done wrong so just

cancel this for now now what you have to

do is just go to the first extrusion

remember the first extrusion we have

fraud and just increase the length we

have actually made this 50 mm but I have

to make this 100 mm also like this and

press ok now you can see now we have our

complete sketch here basically I have

miscalculated that 50 mm there so what I

now go to create go to pipe and select

and select the gene select all these

lines like I am doing here very end like

this

so now it will ask you about the section

size that section will be circular and

the section size the section size is

given here the cut section at 8 outer

dies 50 and thickness is 3 so what I'm

going to do is the section size would be

50 and we'll select the hollow section

and the section thickness would be 3 and

this is going to be our new component

and press ok and turn now we can switch

off the the spaces body now we are going

to make this profile on this very face

so for that we need to draw these two

circles like here so for that click on

create a sketch select on this print

plane and draw a circle from this very

center of 50 mm as it gets can see the

inner radius radius of this circle is 22

so the Daiya the outside Dyer would be

of 44 so for that just give it a

dimension of 44 and press Enter

now next thing is to make these three

circles or distance from the center

point is 50 and the radius is of the

screen so for that up to a vertical

point draw radius of 20 mm diameter no

actually that I radius is given here I

have took the outer one so the inner

would be having radius of 6 that means

12 so another make circle of radius 12

diet 12 and from here to here give it a

dimension of 50mm now go to create go to

circular pattern objects would be the

big circle and the smaller one and the

center point is going to be this the

quantity would be 3 and place ok now

click on this first point right click

and click no it's a cute pic so we don't

have to make anything again press L for

line and join all this point like this

now all we need to get do is give the

tangent relationship between them and

this is already changing now once done

click on finish the sketch as you guys

can see the thickness is given here 15mm

of towards the inner section so again go

to extrude select on this this this this

and this also and operation would be

joined and the distance is going to be

15mm so minus 15 and press ok now press

f4 Filat and give it give here to fill

it off 10mm and press Enter now our

exercise number seven has been completed

so this is how we make this force piping
