L.E.G.O. Man - Fusion Exercise Files 1 of 7

This is the first part of a series of 7 releases designing and combining parts of a small play figurine you may all be familiar with.

The list of all Parts that make up the entire Figure and how I will be releasing them:

1. Head
2. Torso
3. Arms
4. Hands
5. Hip
6. Legs
7. The assembled figurine

This series is for those who would like to get their hands on something where they can learn how to use Fusion 360 and at the same time create something for their own collection of well know figures.

I am using this as example to show a varieties of different geometric challenges you will face when designing your own stuff in Fusion 360.

We built this model during lectures at a local College to learn Fusion 360 foundations some time ago. The model contains a number of steps that are often used during modelling in Fusion such as:

• Holes
• Offsets
• Circles
• Mirroring
• Fillets
• Embossing
• Offset Planes
• Face Deletions
• Groupings
• Body to Component Conversion
• etc.

I will be releasing each of the other parts individually over the next few days. If you want to follow along, view the files and try your hand on replicating what I did - download the source and try building it yourself based on the design history which is included in each file. 

By now you should have:

• Created a new folder in Fusion, called it what you like. Then created a sub-folder called "Parts".
• Saved some of the individual parts you downloaded in the "Parts" folder.

The final Fusion file will contain the assembled figure that gives you an idea of how to combine individual components into a complete setup using joints and movement restrictions.

I have also included the individual STEP files with this released part. The 3MF file has the individual part already set up for printing - I have scaled them up so printing them would result in a figure that is somewhat larger than in the drawing.

The designed figure is only about 38 mm tall - it wasn't really meant to be printed so I scaled it up 400% in the slicer.

Enjoy and have fun and hopefully it helps you on your journey becoming a Fusion Professional.

Next up … the Torso!!
