New to Fusion 360 and printing with a refurbished Ultimaker 2+ (did the conversion myself.)  Learning quickly thanks for Kevin's clear, concise tutorials.  (not the "click here then that thing" but detailed explanations so you can see what he's doing, and where.)  Glad to be a part of the 3D community

I've watched bunches of Kevin's great videos, but have not been able to figure out how to get lettering on an object as a second color.
In this case, it's a yarn bowl.
Using the Emboss Tool does not seem to offer a way to separate the lettering from the model. The attached file is what I have so far.
(As a side note, I hope Kevin considers making some videos for 2 color projects as IDEX printers are becoming more common!)

Been using Fusion 360 for a couple of months. 
I have a couple of 3d printers. 
I want to be able to design my own models.








I am Damen, I have been using fusion 360 for a couple of years now mainly to design cabinetry and other building projects. I learnt as I went and there was a lot of trial and error, so when I discovered Kevin's video's it really made a bunch of stuff fall into place for me.

I am moving to a new house in January which will allow me to finally get a CNC and a 3D printer so I can broaden my design and output capabilities. 

Hello from Reno, Nevada!  Thanks for having me.  So I’m currently building my very first 3D Printer (Voron 2.4, 250mm).  While thingverse has lots of cool stuff, there are some projects that I have in mind that I want to tackle on my own.   Hence,  Fusion 360.   My experience with F360 is about 3 minutes.  Hoping to learn 3D design fundamentals on 360 so I can go from an idea to print bed on my own.  GOOD You Tube tutorials are widely scattered and many are outdated.   Was looking for one centralized  place to learn.  😃

So I purchased an annual membership to learn F360.  Question is, can I go straight to the Woodworker specific courses or should I go through the F360-in-30-days course first?  I'm quite familiar with Vectric, Carbide Motion, SketchUp, Illustrator, Visio etc. so not a complete newb.  

Thanks for the guidance.  




New video explaining 7 reasons why 3MF is better than STL files. This also explains why Fusion 360 changed "Save as STL" to "Save as Mesh"

Hi all,
I’ve watched a couple of Kevin’s videos and they have been really helpful.  Thought I should show my appreciation and become a 
Patreon for his work. (Thanks Kevin!)
I work in ocean acoustics and ocean instrumentation design. I have found my 3D printer to be an invaluable asset to my work. I am a relative beginner with Fusion 360, came from SolidWorks. I have approximately 100 Fusion designs so far but I have had little time to learn fusion properly and just bang out what I need as quickly as possible. Hoping to learn some Fusion functionality from the community.
