I tried to print my handle and it was clear there where a few problems. A. It was too big. B. it was a very difficult print that was going to need a ton of support structure no matter which way I printed it. So I am now working on making the 2 loft/sweep parts separate and I will attach them post pr...

Shouldn't those gears be the same thickness?

Nevermind.
Worked it out. 2 sweeps not 1...

I am trying to make a handle for 3D printing. I tried to use the part Sweep tool It did some extra curves I didn't want. Hopefully deleting the sweep in the attached file will make it clear what I was trying to achieve. I was hoping for a gentle bulge in the middle rather than an hourglass.... I ori...

Not sure if this is too big an ask or if I'm just aproaching it wrong. I would like to have extruded text protruding from a surface with a set wall thickness and a hollow inside with an open top. The idea is to be able to fill the text with something once its 3d printed. I have tried the thickness t...

Just wanted to say thanks again. This project would have taken me many days longer without help from this forum. Last time I tried to do multiple text cuts in one face it took me a day and a half to get noting :lol: Attached are photos of something close to the finished product. Still playing with f...

Ok that worked a lot better. Although I didn't get it to map the string to the face. I had to position the string via placement property’s. Including changing the z to lift it to just below the face.. Was going to have to change that anyway and I seem to be doing it a lot quicker now. I guess practi...

Opps. I did indeed mean shape string where I wrote script. I have had limited success with this in the past. As I mentioned. I could only get one line to boolean. Trying to string a second line worked and I could extrude fine. But then applying that second extrude to a face that already had a cut or...

I am attempting to make a business card for 3d printing. I think I have successfully imported and extruded a .svg from inkscape with some text. I chose this method over scripting because scripting wouldn't let me do multiple lines of text on one face in the past. I only have one line atm but plan on...

OH!!

I completely missed the drop down

Thank you that helps a lot!
