Creating a Fillet

[bavdeyka]

Could you prompt me on how to create an intersection with radius of 3 mm along the edge marked with red arrows? I keep stumbling upon an error:(

Can you attach the files directly. Your filehost is trying to download/install an .exe file.

[bavdeyka]

Sorry, I just used a file hosting that came across.

 

Here're the files:

Create an intersection? Do you be a fillet?

 

How did you create this in the first place?

ReMark, you're right..as usual)

another localization issue:x

[ReMark]

Well I've got bad news for you. I think the geometry is a bit off and trying to apply a fillet may not work.

 

How did you create this object in the first place? Did you do it with surfaces?

[ReMark]

After exploding and erasing I took a closer look at the edge you want to fillet. Something seems amiss (you have a jog in your linework) and unfortunately it appears this way on both edges. Was that intentional?

 

I think you had a similar problem in another thread of yours. Is this the same drawing we're talking about here?

 

I tried the FILLET command, using two different options, but it failed.

The drawing in the previous thread is the same edge. When the fillet command failed for the first time I extracted the edge and wanted to sweep the contour and create a smooth transition using boolean extraction. But I failed, though I hurried to write you about the successful result in my previous thread.

My objective is to create a smooth transition along this line for more convienient connection of the details. I don't have any exact requirements for accuracy. So I'd do with just the visual effect of fillet, but I can't achieve even this...

The jog is intentional as I contoured the object in .stl - if I haven't done it then, I'd probably already have driven you nuts with my questions:)

Maybe you have some ideas on how to do it? I'm not a professional in 3D modelling, I just need to create some details for my hobby.

[ReMark]

At this moment I have no solution to your problem.

 

Accuracy and attention to detail is the key to any good drawing. Ever hear the phrase "Garbage In = Garbage Out"? Think of it as building a house on a bad foundation. If the foundation is no good the rest of the house will suffer.

ReMark, thank you anyway for your assistance

[ReMark]

You're welcomed. I will however "sleep" on your problem and perhaps come Wednesday morning I can suggest a way to achieve what you are looking to do. On the other hand maybe someone here will beat me to it in the meantime so do not abandon all hope.

[bavdeyka]

Hi ReMark! haven't any ideas come around, by chance?

[ReMark]

None so far. Every time I think I have one I find a way that it will fail.

 

Just exactly what is the object?

[bavdeyka]

This is a piercer I'm gonna use for forming parts from plastic for my aeromodelling stuff

[ReMark]

Wish I knew what that was exactly. Oh well.

 

Back to the problem at hand. Some of your geometry still seems a bit off to me. Is this something you designed completely on your own or did you try your hand at reproducing something you already have in your possession?

I changed your thread title to "Creating a Fillet".

ReMark, the object is a future part of the quadcopter frame.

Frankly, I find it a bit difficult to explain it with words)

I contoured an .stl object with a polyline and extruded it. So I designed it myself.

I'd love to do everything in AutoCad, but now I think it might be easier to create a fillet manually on the real model.
