Design an Icosahedron the Easy Way in Fusion 360 with 3D Sketch via @DesktopMakes
I’m a huge fan of the Icosahedron and I was quite excited when I saw a new tutorial by Vladimir (@DesktopMakes) take on a new approach to designing the iconic shape. Vladimir walks through the process and takes a moment to showcase the power of sketch constraints. Even if you’re familiar with Fusion 360, I’m sure you’ll learn a new thing or two watching Vladimir. I’m excited to try modeling a new icosahedron using this technique! Well done, Vladimir!
Mastering sketch constraints is the key to being able to design whatever you want

In this video lesson we design an icosahedron using just the line tool and the equal constraint. This model shows the power of sketch constraints in Fusion 360.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
