Re: Boolean Boss Battle
When you see references to self intersecting… this is one example of how that happens. Depending on your geometry OS will not know how to resolve things and calls it self intersecting. In this case its just the inside radius that's an issue. Making the radius bigger resolves it or if it were square cut it wouldn't be an issue. sometimes you might have to apply two radii after an operation like shell or thicken to get your desired result.

Re: Laser joint got funny?
Confirmed. The part design was the problem. Problem solved.
Re: Reaction forces
I'm curious if there's any news on this front. Simulation seems to have been in stealth mode for quite a while now.
Re: Request: sketches should be usable as planes
I see, thanks for the tips. I was aware of selecting closed regions, but mate connector trick makes it usable for construction lines, which is nice.
