I am making a series of phone objects and it has become apparent through use that this particular receiver needs a thicker shell to make for a stronger 3D print. Ideally I would still have the solid, pre-shelled version of this, but alas I do not. What is a recommended approach here? I thought about ‘casting’ it using some boolean operations and re shelling it, but would rather not have to rebuild internal geometry. Perhaps that is the price I pay for lack of planning and version control.
Ah, I see, it is already shelled, you just want to make it a thicker wall, correct? That is definitely less straightforward - see if the attached thing is anything like what you need - I thickened the overall ‘main’ walls but offsetting the inner surface a mm or so and extending/ retrimming all the details to suit. Basically blow it into surfaces and deal with it at that level then reassemble the bits. No magic…
