Sweet tutorial! Totally expanded my understanding and appreciation of joints.

Here we are, 3 years later, still no "natural spring" in Fusion! It could be so simply added...

What a great video man! thanks for sharing! I loved the detail and speed you went through everything, nothing missed and nothing over or under-explained! Great work!

I was making an assembly which had movement between two objects. Because of this I couldn't use the spring component during the simulation. Now that I have variable change of length in the springs it works perfectly.Thank you so much for this tutorial, it has made the visual aspect of my project so much better!

Best Fusion teacher I've seen so far. Clearly an expert.

This is a great tip and tutorial and it worked for a compression spring but I was not able (yet) to make it work for an expansion spring. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the fact that you did not use keyboard shortcuts too much and was able to follow it step by step which is not the case with other Fusion 360 tutorials. Thank you!

Excellent instructional video! No fluff straight to the point! Thank you.

bro thanks for this awesome tutorial . i have searching how to do this spring work last two months.i even posted this issue in fusion community.thanks for uploading a solution

I've been studying and participating in your Fusion 360 for Wood Workers Course on Udemy and other than a few quirks have found it extremely useful.

Great work figuring that out! And thanks for sharing. Hopefully they just make it easier in the future like it is in Inventor & Solidworks etc..

Great Tutorial. Very impressed you figured that one out.

What a wonderful workaround! Thanks for the inspiration!

This is great man, thanks a bunch, really appreciate you taking the time to do this for us!

I appreciate the video and how you showed what to do if you do get your flags in the wrong direction even after you told us to get them matching- I see what you did there!

Thank you! This was very clear and helped me immensely. Cheers!

I just created a motion link between the revolutions and made them the same angle, works better for me

Very simple and beautiful! Thanks for ur great tip!

Awesome. Perfect example that the tool is only as good as the user. I like how you kinda chuckled at the end there and said "so we can look at it a little more" I was thinking the exact same thing. I could sit there and play with that for hours.

Bellissimo tutorial ! Complimenti Mike 👍

Very good indeed. A great tip and well demonstrated.

This tutorial is GOLD! Thanks :)

Great tip! Loved it! I sort of improved the concept simply by putting the motion links between the revolute joints of the spring so that the washer is free of motion links and can therefore have a rest position. Also, I added revolute joints at each ends of the spring instead of making them fixed. So the entire spring is moving. The motion links are easier to get right since it is 360 for each joint instead of finding the number of degrees. Hope this make sense!

This video came as a life saver! Thank You

Excellent tips in one video, thank you very much

Wow, at first appeared impossible, but the solution is actually pretty straightforward - brilliant!

i Made it!!!! Im an engineering student and i wanted to improve my CAD skills, this should be very useful! thank you

I appreciate the advanced tip to produce natural looking motion.

Awesome tutorial! Thanks a lot buddy!

Woah!! This is impressive !!

This is what I had to do with the spring. Super !! Thanks!!

Little gem of a video

This was truly useful!!

Awesone tip. Very ingenious.

Brilliant, Thank you!

This is really helpful hack.These tricks will make possible to create motion studies of assembling exploded parts and go for cloud rendering.Fusion 360 animation section is not render-able at this moment.Hence these tricks can be implemented to cover up those limitations.

That was great. Thanks!

Very NICE! Thank you!

Nice!

thx man, I wish you success in personal life and advancing career opportunities. Thx for real

thanks going to try this now !

Thanks for a great tutorial.

Cool tip, thankyou. Subbed.

You are a wizard, thanks!

Thanks for sharing man 👍

Thanks for a great tutorial ;)

Thanks. Clever thinking.

Brilliant!

genius. I've been wondering how to do this for about 2 years, even thought about using math relationships between positions of components and parameters of a spring, but they cannot be linked. this looks like a lot of setup work, but it's definitely working. Chapeau, sir :)

You are amazing!

Great trick

Sweet Tut!

Great video thank you!

DUDE! Awesome job!

You are a gEnius!!! 👏 thanks bro

Great work :)

Not going to lie, I thought this was click bait, but damned if I didn't learn a bunch of little bits and one big thing. Great video.

awesome tip.. thanks ..

pure gold.

HI Mike, Thanks for a great lesson. I have a question about a slight modification- how would the hack change if the spring followed an arc instead of a straight path- for instance the spring is attached to a rocker arm? Joe

You are a lifesaver thanks

Great tutorial! My only question is where do you go to order the custom spring you made?

Genius!

thanks!

Genius!!!

AWESOME VIDEO THANKS!!! CAN YOU SHOW US HOW TO PUT A HOOK ON THE END OF THE SPRING SO IT CAN HOOK TO SOMETHING LIKE A PIN?

really cool, u know what? I'm not gonna put a working spring in my desing anymore :D

Beast!

YOU ARE A GOD!

I tried to make a longer spring by this principle. When the number of motion link reached 10, then the connections stopped moving. Is it possible to somehow bypass this restriction on the number of motion link?

when we model a whole suspension does it work with the other parts? for example squeezing washer and jaw part to gether, they are all modeled as rigid group with the bottom piece of spring. i tried to make it but did not work with the multible parts. does anyone has an opinion?

My brain got sweaty watching this one.

You're good!

Hi Mike, congrats for your tutorial. I found it very brilliant! I also manage an Italian YT channel of Fusion 360 Tutorials. I would like to propose your tutorial also on my channel, if you agree. Nevertheless, I have some issues trying to follow your instructions. It seems that the entire model gets stuck after the creation of the third or fourth motion link. Since your tutorial is four years old, I'm wondering if your method is still working by using of the last version of the software. Have you recently repeated this procedure? Thanks in advance for your time.

Very nice! Go to repeat

Would a simulation work as long as you select the right material for the spring?

Jedi level .... wow !

cool I guess. I haven't used Fusion 360 yet but I'm planning to for some fun hobby projects. If you already use it and invested your time, I can see why this is an exciting hack. For me, it's more disappointing that I'd have to jump through all these hoops and that spring behavior isn't just built in. It's not like you're adding some fantastical concept. So many mechanical projects have springs.

Would there not be pre-built models of working springs available in some kind of library already?

could a control be added that held the spring in compression until the control is triggered and then the spring, "springs' into action?

Second Comment ~ I plan on building a Porch on the second floor floor of my garage with a 5' wide ramp. Using Fusion 360 with your training I can make plans and print them for a "Permit" to the city. Design see if works then cut and or make Sparks with permit if needed. I can not thank you enough....

Wow😮

Great Turorial, really impresses NX Power User here. Since I do not see other F360 Videos from Mike, can anyone recommend the most advanced F360 Channel with Videos, Tips and Tricks like this? Thanks in advance

Mike all this is important. I did sign up for your class. I am on the Candle Stick Holder. I also have SolidWorks student version as a retired military member I was able to get it for $25 bucks. I did not learn it. Fusion 360 came along and went with that route. So, I am glad you put this course together. If you try to design something and want to share by all means do so. That is what KZfaq is all about. We want to learn and make things. I do think you punch a hole in what some of us need and you are fulfilling that need in the marketplace so, good for you and "US". Take a look at SVSeeker at the end of his videos people send in pics on that the have been making. I think perhaps you can do something similar to inspire us on the other end of KZfaq. Keep up the good work on this and I speak for myself I am "SO GLAD YOU PUT THIS COURSE TOGETHER" and offered it at a reasonable price. Try to get the kids involved in this. It is a Designer Shop Class in the making. I hope you and the Misses had a great day. Will from Akron, Ohio

Need help in one more case! Imagine you are using the spring in another assembly. Is there a way to assemble the spring in the centre of 2 discs just like in this tutorial but the discs are made earlier and not in the model 😅 I hope my doubt converted into words!!

Super !! Pourriez vous faire un tuto pour entrainer une courroie GT2 sur 2 poulies Merci

Ha Ha such a great work around!

Nice tuto.......a torsion spring model and simulation please..

sir, how to give compressive motion to sprial coil

Wow that's clever. Really, well done. It's a shame this would probably swamp the cpu in an assembly.

How does FUSION 360 compare to the SMART DRAW application? And have you looked at that? Going through a demonstration today.

Ferry heads on the wack-a-mold??!

6:38 this is it!

Was the coupon only valid for a specific timeframe or use count? Doesn't appear to work anymore

how tricky. i would have had a time thinking of that

Another 3 years later... still in the same place!

That was exhausting just to watch. I just use a parameter for my coil height. To make it springy, I would think I could just set a formula based on the first parameter for rest. Haven't tried that part yet.

is it possible to render a movie out of that in Fusion 360?

is it possible, that it doesn't work with current version? I make the same like you, but it doesn't spring back.

Super,b brother

send link to fusion model please
