Lego Brick in Fusion 360

My name is Owen I currently attend Fairview high school in Boulder Colorado. I made a 2 by 2 Lego brick using Fusion 360 for the game design project.

Fusion 360

In fusion 360 I first made a sketch of a cube using the two-point rectangle tool feature and made the dimensions 10mm by 10mm. I next used the extrude feature to make the 2d sketch 3d and made it 10mm tall.

I next had to add in the pegs of the Lego brick so that it could connect to other bricks. To do this I first created a second sketch and used the center diameter circle tool and made the diameter of the circle 3.5mm. Using the extrude feature I made the circle 2mm tall. Finally, I had to use the sketch dimension to make sure the circle was in the right spot.

Next, I had to duplicate the pegs so that the blocks could stack. I did this by using the rectangular pattern tool mad making the distance 5mm.

Now I had to make the cube hollow so that the cubes could stack and would actually work. I did this with the shell modification and made the thickness of the walls 1mm thick.

After I made the cube hollow I added some finishing touches. I changed the color using the appearance menu. I also double checked that the cube would be able to stack and that all the measurements were right.
