02 (not pictured, never printed) : Trying to fix 01.

Failed not being deep enough, and the clips required print supports that weren’t generated, so their undersides bowed down blocking the phone. Had clips to hold the phone in on the top corners, and the bottom by the plug. Some days I’d iterate and print 3 designs. Over the course of several days I slowly refined my design, print after print. The ability for me to model something in 3d, and have a printed version an hour and a half later (for about 1$) is just amazing. It’s crazy to think that what I’m effectively doing is iterative product design. This gave me what I needed to begin authoring in the software. To get started I simply traced the phone on graph paper, then using my calipers measured all applicable distances for buttons and doodads: While I could have used that case as a starting point, I wanted this design to be ‘all my own’, so my usage of it stopped there. That is really what prompted me to design my own. But that case has a large clip that rubs right against my ear, and got painful on any call over 30 seconds. In fact my original plan was to print that case and be done with it. I first downloaded and printed this design from Thingiverse.

Running it on a Macbook Air probably isn’t the best choice: Not very responsive, pretty chuggy.

Then, using the ‘Sketch -> Sketch Dimensions’ tool, create relationships between your sketch and the ‘something else’ based on distance. It appears the workflow goes: Make your sketch ‘somewhere’.

I had a hard time figuring out how to accurately place sketches relative to ‘something else’ (like placing a circle exactly 17mm away from an edge).Filleting the surface (rather than the sketch) seems to be a better call if you later want to change the fillet values. For example, if you need to apply a fillet, you can fillet a sketch (which is then extruded into a surface), or you can fillet the surface after extrusion. It’s better to add features via the Modify & Create menus than the Sketch menu: Modify & Create features are added as history to the timeline, while making changes to a sketch aren’t recorded in history.I discuss the bug, and the solution on the forums here. If you want to project an existing sketch onto another surface, it looks like there’s a bug on the mac.If you want to include a surface as reference, select the surface, then access that menu: It will create a new sketch with the surface as reference.

But it’s where you go if you want to either project curves onto a surface, or when authoring a new sketch include 3d geometry to use as reference.

The ‘Sketch -> Project/Include’ menu is confusing.

FYI I’m still very new to the software, so it’s quite possible I could be missing something when it comes to my below presumptions.Specific things I learned about Fusion 360 on the Mac: While 123D Design could probably do it, I really liked Fusion 360’s timeline based workflow/history, and overall it is a much more powerful tool (but costs $ if you want to use longer than a month). My main choices were Autodesk 123D Design, and Autodesk Fusion 360 (suggestions from anyone else?). Considering I wanted to do this on the cheap, that limited me software-wise. While I’m intimately familiar with Autodesk Maya, it’s not really geared towards highly-accurate solid modeling. Below I discuss at a high level the steps I went through. But there were no apps I could find for the S5, so I decided to make a case myself.

I’d previously printed cases for my wife’s iPhone ( here) based on a Thingiverse app. I recently picked up a new Samsung Galaxy S5, and needed a case for it.
