hi-
I made a simple container shape that I want to 3d print to prototype something. My question is what is the easiest way to hollow it out to make it like a bowl? The green shaded side is the side I would like open. Should I just make a duplicate that is smaller and then center it in the larger one and subtract it out or is there an easier way? I just want the walls 3-5mm thick or so for printing. thx!

Re: How to hollow out box to make container
Ah, part thickness, thank you. I probably messed up the fillets as well. Thanks again
