How to 3D-Model a Trammel of Archimedes in Fusion 360 | 3D Print a Do-Nothing Machine

By the end of this video, you’ll know how to create a Trammel of Archimedes in Fusion 360. The Trammel of Archimedes is a mechanism that generates the shape of an ellipse.

Some have even coined the machines to be the “do-nothing machine” as their pretty pointless [pun intended] when they have a knob on the end. Usually, they have a pencil or knife attached to the end so one can draw, scribe, or cut an ellipse into a surface underneath.

These are great little projects for woodworking or 3D printing, and kids seem to love them, so I thought this would be a fun object to model in Fusion 360.
