User parameters are one of the most powerful tools in Fusion 360, especially when you're designing functional, 3D printed parts! In this tutorial, I'll take you through a real-world example (making magnetic brackets for a towel rod in my kitchen) to demonstrate how to take measurements of existing objects with calipers, input these measurements as user parameters in Fusion 360, create new user parameters to add flexibility to your workflow, and use this information to design precise, 3D printed parts.

Thanks for watching!
