I frequently design simple cases in rhino and 3d print them. At the end of my modeling process, I often encounter overhangs that won’t print well. Many times these parts could benefit from a simple support triangle that sweeps the bottom of the overhang. My approximation in the attached model communicates it much better than I can in words.
My question: I’ve tried two rail sweeps, but that process doesn’t quite yield what I’m looking for. Any other suggestions on how to approach this? Happy to clarify if I’m not being clear enough. Please see the attached file as an example. Thanks! 3dPrintOptimization.3dm (1.4 MB)
You got it, Pascal. Something like that. The sweep you created is almost there. It just doesn’t address the bump outs of the rings very well. Any ideas how to do it elegantly? Are you sweeping with 1 rail? Thanks!
