to add a small tile to the investigation, if the two cutters are joined into a single cutter the thing works (which is not a step toward any solution, but it’s just a step in a random direction )
in my mind it means the brep is “succesfully cuttable”, and the problem lies in the multiple cutters? [edit, I mean in the thing of being multiple, not in the cutters themselves]
Thanks @Joseph_Oster - I guess we go to war with what we have, though my ‘why’ is now a bigger WHY - as in WHY do we have to choose these workarounds? You’ve had to mesh it when we don’t want meshes (in this case). And, in fact, seeing that you scaled the splitters more, I initially did the same (before uploading internalized objects), say by a 1.1 factor (or enough for the intersections to be obviously/visibly larger). But “2” works.
