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.

Cube whose side surfaces go down at an angle. - Andrei Motian

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.

Two circles added. - Andrei Motian

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 square plate on the bottom with the planes. - Andrei Motian

The final result:

My first design in Fusion360. - Andrei Motian

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