I designed a satisfyingly smooth yet clicky magnetic points tracker that works for tracking three resources up to 9 or points/money/fish up to 999. It uses 33 5x3mm magnets and doesn't lose the set numbers when bumped or jiggled.

I think this is particularly good for: solo play, game design and prototyping, print and play, travel play.

Would you find this useful? What do you think?

I have a negative volume inside my object and I want to make a bunch of copies (using rectangular pattern) that are also negative spaces, but when I use the combine tool with cut mode, it doesn't combine them, it leaves all the copies of the body in the list, and they aren't cut out.

I've also tried combining the bodies into one body and then using that as a cut tool, but that doesn't work either.

Any ideas?

Edit: Apparently this is a known issue, but the solution here doesn't work as far as I can tell https://www.autodesk.com/support/technical/article/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Pattern-of-a-hole-creates-bodies-instead-of-holes-in-Fusion-360.html

I have a little prototype of a slider with intermediate "stops" using magnets. You can see the cross-section and fusion views of the slider. My problem is that unless the pressure is placed on the center of the slider "T", it binds and catches in the groove and doesn't slide so smoothly. I have tried a number of prototypes with bigger gaps, more rounded edges and so on.

Does anyone have suggestions for how to make this smooth (with FDM 3D printing tolerances)? Or is there a better subreddit to ask this kind of question in?

Is it a matter of sanding the surfaces smooth even? I don't want to add lubricant if I don't have to.
