Here is a link to a sketchup file on dropbox. https://www.dropbox.com/s/8zoxsmhqdr...basex.skp?dl=0
I am making a 3D printed model of a lamp base to use as a pattern for bronze casting. I draw it upside down as otherwise you have to print it with supports, which takes an age and uses a lot of plastic.
The bronze caster wants to have sloping sides so that the pattern pulls out of the sand mould easily, and I think it looks better than straight sides anyway
The problem I am having is that one side is not closing, and when I put the model to Makerbot, it becomes two open sides.
It is doing my head in !!!!
Cheers,
RobLast edited by cropwell; 01-07-2016 at 03:35 PM.
