Autodesk should hire you! Thanks for *teaching* instead of showing how fast you can move the mouse around.

No other YouTube channel I have seen has actually said, “Be honest; if you didn’t like it, hit it a dislike”

You earned a like from me

[christianmcconnell]

Just FYI incase it helps anyone- "Save as STL" has been renamed to "Save as mesh" -Serves the same funtionality, just make sure to select "STL Binary" In the format window.

[blackwolfsyndicate]

Bro, I smashed that like button just because I never heard anybody say to click the dislike button if they don't like it. You sir, are a hero! Not all heroes wear capes.

[harryjoosten]

Absolutely fabulous tutorial. Quietly spoken without ups and downs in your voice, so non English speaking people with only basic knowledge of English can follow and understand with ease. To the point without any unnecessary remarks. In my opinion: a professional.

[allmyrealfriends]

You saved me about 5 hours of screwing around trying to figure this out on my own. Thanks!

[profhindsight]

3D ! Fusion 360 's new (2019) User Interface (UI) has made years of good YouTube tutorials almost obsolete and very difficult for newbies to learn quickly. Many thanks

[jasminmiskawy]

This is hands down the best video to watch if you are a COMPLETE beginner - like I was myself. Every second is spent explaining something important and relevant - no filler talk, ummm’s, or anything of the sort.

When I clicked on the video, I had never ever used a 3D modelling software before. Now I am on my way to maybe start selling my own STL-files for cutters. Thanks Kevin!

[italyct]

Kevin, this is an outstanding tutorial. Thank you so much! Your cadence, speech clarity, and slow, directed mouse movements make you an excellent instructor. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these amazing videos!

[jeffdempsey]

Thank you so much for this! As Hans Peterson put, Thank you for teaching us and not showing us how fast you can click the mouse.
Positives:
1. This is a teaching video, not a "look at me, I can make a stamp in 34 seconds" video.
2. Your voice is well suited for this. Clear and understandable.
3. The explanations helped me.
4. For those reading the comments, it's OK to rewind when things don't go quite right.

[kasparscernovskis]

This is probably the best intro tutorial on any software that I have ever used. You really should consider making more courses for designing advanced objects for 3d printing. I would buy!

[daveyjones-sxym]

thanks man. never used any cad before ever and just been sitting in front of 360 failing l.f for a while. so glad these vids exist otherwise itd be unusable for a total noob

[TheBritishMelonn]

Recently wanted to design my own product, and without getting into details this has helped me immensely. A huge thank you for showing us all these tutorials. Within 3 days I took my project looking like a kids drawing to a real clean looking prototype from your tutorials.

[RandomGuy-luhe]

Your way is teaching is so clear and concise with no 'waffle', kept me interested and the whole way through :) Absolute saint <3

[JanBanan]

As someone with experience with Freecad and Siemens NX I can safely say this program is just a lot smoother to work in, and the way it combines individual parts directly in an assembly instead of pairing them up afterwards is mind blowing. Thanks for the walk-through on the basics!

[alanbarlow]

This was an amazing tutorial - did it 4 times over from scratch and each time it became easier! Helps to have a break in between.

[iminm]

I appreciate you taking time to explain clearly and pausing long enough for us to see what you actually did.

[mkeeton]

3d Printing. After struggling through several older videos that didn't use the new UI, I finally landed here. Thank you!

[LRNDIY]

Great intro! I'm looking forward to getting into Fusion 360 and this was a well presented lesson to help me dip my toe in the water.
