Advanced 3D Printing with Fusion 360 - Design Your Phone Case - Upgrading the Hinged Case

The video tutorial guides viewers through the process of improving a phone case design by addressing issues such as parts not sticking together and the case not staying closed. The instructor demonstrates how to create sketches, extrude features, mirror and combine parts, and add fillets and knobs for closure. The tutorial also covers creating holes for buttons and other features, making final adjustments, and testing the prototype to ensure a perfect fit.
