all right so welcome everyone this is John with UDoIt in this video I'm gonna
show you how to convert a logo that's a JPEG or a PNG or bitmap file into an SVG
that can then be imported in the fusion 360 and converted into a model and that
model can then be exported into what's called an STL file and sliced with the
purpose of being 3d printed and because this is a two color logo I even go into
how to manage that with a 3d printer that only has one extruder so I have
Adobe Illustrator here and I had this file of smart passive income smart
passive income is a it's run by Pat Flynn who was a influencer he is a
entrepreneur who has an awesome story where he was laid off that for most of
us we wouldn't think that that is an awesome story but in his case it was
because it freed up his time to explore other things so much so that when his
former employer or he had another opportunity to do the same work asked
him to go back into the field of it was in he actually said no because he was
making way more money and doing online marketing and the story about Pat Flynn
and how it relates to me is in 2009 2010 I started following him because I wanted
to make additional income passively so I created a website I had a blog I started
putting post on there and I applied for Amazon affiliate that didn't go so well
I got declined I had some more post and eventually get to the point where
he's frustrated and I stopped which I just came up with a series of excuses in
retrospect so this is really a tribute to pet for helping me inspire me even
though I stopped I picked it up again and through his help and through other
creators like Roberto Blake they really motivated me to get where I'm at now on
YouTube and social media so this is an image that I captured from an event
website where your pet Flint held an event for smart pants might come as a
meet-up in Philly that just happened last night and what I need to do is I
need to convert this into what's called an SVG foe
so it's right now this is a JPEG that was imported into Adobe Illustrator and
if you know Adobe Illustrator is vector based so we need to do what's called the
live trace so within this object menu what's this graphic is selected we can
do image trace and choose make and expand and that traces the image and
since it was a two color image it was rather easy for doing that and then
there are various components in here and this is I said if we can ungroup again
it's just what okay so we have two components here that I would like to
separate out so the first one is this this is the background and you'll see
why I want to do this later so let's select the background together with
these elements
and now I can drag them out of the way and then you'll see that there's also
that too so I'm gonna save this
you will save as and this will be smart passive income be chained read to and
it's a Illustrator file so now I have that locked in but I'm also going to
save this as an SVG file which is a standard file for vector graphics and
it's a keychain Rev to file SVG you do not want to select the SVG
zfo you do not want the compressed version and we hit OK and sure the
defaults are fine now we go into fusion 360 we create a new project and we'll
choose sketch and we'll hit this plus button here they'll create a new sketch
and it's this plane here that I want to select and the reason why I want to
select this plane is because it is the XY plane and I'm going to perform my
drawing in this plane so that when I import it into my slicer and only 3d
printed I do not have to do any additional rotation around it it makes
it real easy so now you notice I'm in the XY plane the Y and the X are on the
bottom here which indicates that's the plane I'm looking into now I don't want
to insert an SVG file so I choose the insert menu and I choose insert SVG and
I'll point to this file that I just created which is keychain ready to and
here's my file and you can see we have the two items here so I'm gonna choose
I'm gonna see how this one works here and if it doesn't work then you will do
it all over again I think it's gonna work based on what
I'm saying so this is the model that I'm going to the graphic that I'm going to
use so first thing I want to do is I want to start drawing some reference
points along here so let's create another sketch
we can stop sketching create another sketch and I want to create a border
around this when I'm going to use a two millimeter rectangle in construction
mode that's why I chose that's why over here in this sketch palette I chose
construction and we'll make that two by two and we'll do the same thing here
we'll right click and choose repeat and we'll do two by two you know the reason
why I did construction I'm going to turn that off is so that I can draw a
rectangle around that so let's repeat and I'm going to zoom in so you can see
where I'm walking to so I'm walking to that point and then we will zoom in here
and walk into this point so now I have a rectangle around that entire object and
once again I'm going to do a rectangle around here and there we go now I have
two rectangles so I have a solid area here and it's these areas here that I
want to extrude so I'm gonna stop sketching so I can select I need to
select this sketch
being a little difficult right now when you hover the cursor over you have to
make sure it changes a slightly different color you sell that flashing
going on and once it changes the slightly lighter color then you know
that's the region that's going to be selected and I'm holding the shift key
and left clicking in each of these areas to select them because this is the
region that I'm going to extrude there we go so now I'm going to extrude and I
want to extrude this one millimeter upward so now we have our model and
these all were extruded into separate bodies that will combine them in a
moment but right now I'm going to turn off the bodies and turn off that sketch
I'm only gonna have this sketch one and I want to select these two regions and I
want to extrude negative three millimeters and I'll show you why I'm
going to do negative three and it just created my other body so it's turn
sketches off and he's turned by the owner so when I first extruded all these
letters I extrude them up vertically one millimeter but then I selected the
rectangle the border rectangle and the inner rectangle I selected the area
within that and I treated downward negative three and so what that did was
that allowed me to create those surface yeah I was a couple things that I want
to do to this and it's the crate Phillips on the inside and the outside
of this but before I do that I just noticed that if I do that I'd have to
select both at the same time and I don't want to go through that effort I really
want this to be one body so we will highlight all of that and I highlighted
that by clicking on the first one holding shift clicking on the last one
and then we'll choose modify combine and and the join is selected there when
it combines it all into one body so now I can hit the FK and we're going to go
6.5 and same thing F key 6.5 so it's not perfect because the radius isn't at the
same point I would have to adjust that value but it's something that I don't
think anybody's really going to notice on the 3d printed version 6.5 and I
repeat again for this corner here 6.5
same thing up here so there we go now we have the model cool stuff let's save
this and we'll call this smart passive income keychain there too and
now we will 3d print it and this process we do not send it to utility so we
uncheck that and we select the object and press ok
and we will call this Reb to version 1 and then we will go into our slicer
which I'm using the Freesat slicer that is made by person research persons the
company who makes my 3d printer you can use whatever slicer you want it
there's our keychain it's rather large so I'm gonna reduce it instead of 33%
I'm which I do so now I'm going to reduce it on the XY plane I am NOT going
to reduce it on the Z plane because the Z plane is already 4 millimeter so I
don't want to reduce it any further so I will reduce it
let's do 60% and we will reduce this
along the y axes 60% and let's see what our sizes so our sizes approximately 3
inches by almost 2 inches so let's reduce it a little bit more
scale that on the x-axis let's go and produce a baby and the y axes and we're
70 by so we're less than 3 inches at this point
so three inches will be about that big
and now we can slice and inspect the layers
let's look see how it's coming out looks good I'm satisfied with the slicer but I
forgot one thing so now we have to go back into the model
and that's why I saved it as a writ of one and if this is going to be teaching
guess what we need so let's turn this sketch back on and we will edit this
sketch or so you know you know we can do it right from here let's do a whole
create a whole and cool thing about this is is that we control this to move us
anywhere and when you have a whole six millimeters let's make it eight
millimeters and I do want to move let's undo that repeat whole
and we want to make this eight milliliters
can I don't say 12 years and I just want I just wanted to look good where it said
nothing you're gonna really deal with though I just want to be satisfied with
it then I hit the ok button and there we go there's our hole so now let's save
this again and this will be the to the 3d print again this will be rib 2v2 this
is why the red 2 is an indication to me that's a different file because i'm
rerecorded as video the V number is the version of this file relative to the
first version that was created of a file now I'm going to delete this from the
slicer hit the Delete key and we'll add this B to the file and I think we will
reduce this to you'll try and 75 60
60 scale on y-axis 16 see what our size is so let's reduce it again scale lucify
80 reduce this by e and then we will slice take a look at the layers so there
you go we have plenty of room on the outside for strength see we look good
there we're plenty thick enough and it doesn't have sharp edges to wear out a
hole in the pocket even though your keys typically have a sharp edge so we
already sliced let's export this file
all right so now we have this sliced file alright so then we have a sliced
file that is the Rev 2g code and I'm gonna copy that now I'm gonna use that
is this color print so let's do it we'll get a Prusa printers color print this is
the address the link will be in the description I'm going to choose the file
RIF to G code I'm gonna add a color change and I'm going to choose the
height of 3.2 and I'll show you why so here's the layers this is layer 3 up
here so there's layer 3 and there's three point two so it's three point two
that I want to color change will occur it that's why it headed through point
I'm on the download is G code and we're going to paste this one in will they
name it
to color change and that way we know when we upload is the color change file
upload ref to veto alright so this measures approximately three inches by
an inch and a half it's a 3d printed with two types of filament one is a sane
smart or smart by Green filament and mater hackers white film and I really
like the matter hackers white because it is it really pops and there you go so
you can see that we got the hole right here for going through a keychain so I
hope you liked this video the instruction on how to create a vector in
adobe illustrator and import it in the fusion 360 and create a model and do all
the extrusions and adding phillips to make it smooth so it doesn't have really
sharp edges if you liked this video give it a thumbs up if you didn't like it
find give it a thumbs down but if you do all i ask is that you leave a comment
why you may not look like that the way you can help me grow you know i'm still
even though this is video number 500 something i still have a long ways to go
to learn what I'm doing anyway thanks for watching and make sure you check out
my other videos on 3d printing you can find them in my 3d printing play
playlist and I also do a CNC work so hit that like button give me a subscribe but
really appreciate you hit the subscribe and also I'd like you to share this
video I'll just you know put it on Twitter put it on Facebook let people
know that you found the video and and you enjoyed watching it or you found
