A common question I get in my weekly live zoom class is: "How would you approach this design?" Often, students will share a model from platforms like Thingiverse, Printables, or Maker World, and ask for guidance on how to recreate it from scratch. A specific example from a recent class was a pop-up snowman—a clever design by 3D Paint Lab that’s perfect for the holiday season.
I decided to create a tutorial not only on how to tackle this design but also on general strategies for reverse engineering STL files using Fusion.
This tutorial turned out longer than expected, so instead of splitting it into parts, I’ve decided to release it all at once. With the holidays approaching, I hope this helps you design and print your own snowman gift. Let’s dive into the process! Click on the video above to follow along.
By the way, I'm currently running a half-off promotion to my online Weekly Live Fusion Class. Click here for more info
