jason1025 Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 connecting with proper splinage Anyone care to take a stab at it? Unfortunately you can not just lay the 2 pieces next to the hinge because the maker bot rep 2 will not print them correctly. For the most part makerbot seems to need most things to be splinedproperly in Am. hingeV2_11.prj Quote
Admin Rodney Posted May 24, 2013 Admin Posted May 24, 2013 The primary problem I see is that the center object has parts that are only one patch thick. The secondary problem is that parts of the object aren't closed. It's easy enough to close the ends but we'd need to know what your target is in order to finish the piece. Are the two rectangles off to the side suppose to be part of (attached to) the hinge? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 24, 2013 Hash Fellow Posted May 24, 2013 Basically , you need enough splines on one side to match the other side.... hingeV2_11c.prj Bridging_a_gap.mov Quote
Admin Rodney Posted May 24, 2013 Admin Posted May 24, 2013 (Didn't see Robert's post... I'm sure he's provided a proper solution) Attached is my attempt to reconcile your trouble. Replaced my model with a project file that has a new model in it. I've added Robert's model (locked) beside mine as a general reference. It appears we were following the same approach. My greater concern at this point would be how the Makerbot/STL conversion deals with internal and 5 point patches. hingeV2_11d.prj Quote
