Today I made a Steemit wheel container with Fusion 360. I wanted to make a container for my next homemade body butter for men and I was thinking what design would match that show some masculinity. In this post I will show and explain how I made this wheel container. In my next post I will show you the printed wheel container and its content, the homemade body butter for men with recipe included.

Tutorial

I started making a circle, the size of the container. (Sketch > Circle > Centre Diameter Circle).

I extruded the circle creating the height of the container.

Here I created the base of the wheel disc. (Sketch > Line). I also inserted a Steemit svg file, the Steemit logo for the centre.

I selected the faces that I want to extrude, giving depth. The angles I tapered till -70 degrees to make it more unique.

The Steemit logo here has been extruded with 1mm.

The two circles I offset and extruded with 1mm as well.

I selected the edges of the wheel disc and applied bevels. (Modify > Chamfer).

For the tire profile, I created first 4 circles and revolved the circles. (Create > Revolve).

Smoothened the edges of the wheel.

For the tire I wanted zig zag stripes. So I sketched the zig zag lines first.

With Combine function, I made a cut in the container. It would not be possible with extrude simply because the object is round. I kept the tools( the two zig zag stripes) for making the pattern. This is needed.

I am so happy Fusion 360 has this function, otherwise I had to do it one by one, 35 times. (Create > Pattern > Circular Pattern).

It's a pity the pattern is not extruded automatically as the 2 original zig zag bodies. So I had use the Combine and Cut function, selecting ALL zig zag bodies.
