Making a switch for the laser cutter in Fusion360

This was the first time I worked in Fusion360. By working step by step with Sander he guided the class to make a switch for the laser cutter in the Makerslab.

At first we got an explanation about the basics, what you can find in the interface and how to create objects. We started with making a cube for the design that Sander had in mind. The cube is going to be the handle of the switch.

Then we added two circles on the bottom. A large circle that is against a plate and a small circle that will go through the plate and is in the middle.

The last object was a squared plate in the bottom that wil function as the switch that wil turn the knob.

By using planes (the yellow areas) we could make parts of the plate diagonally upwards.

The final result:

I have not been able to see a 3d printed version of this and that is a bit dissapointing for me.
