Orb Dish

An Orb Dish

An Orb Dish is a practice-driven design that unexpectedly turned into something worth sharing.

This model was created while I was teaching myself Fusion 360 by watching various YouTube tutorials. During that process, I came across the channel Fusion 360 Easy Tutorials, which focuses on clean modeling techniques and clear workflows. One particular video inspired the overall approach to this shape. While I did not use any of the creator’s dimensions, measurements, or patterns, I did apply some of the modeling techniques demonstrated in the video to achieve the final form.

Originally, this was never intended to be a printable model. It was simply a learning exercise to practice surface transitions, symmetry, and form control in Fusion 360. However, once the design was complete, I was genuinely pleased with how it turned out and decided to print it out of curiosity.

The printed result exceeded my expectations. The smooth, organic geometry translated well from screen to physical object, giving it a clean, almost futuristic presence.

The result is a versatile object that can be interpreted in different ways — a dish, a decorative piece, a vase-like form, or even something reminiscent of a small UFO. I hope others enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the learning process behind it.
