Re: Need help with this wrap feature.
Probably gonna get better help from 3D printing forums…. but your fins are only 0.8mm thick at the widest part. It looks as though your layer thickness is pretty thick. for such fine detail. 270° seems high for PETG but maybe that spec on the filament your using. I just printed something in PETG last night at 234°. You can try to switch to tree supports with a single wall & change layer height to 0.16 or 0.12. I'm assuming your using a 0.4 nozzle... a smaller nozzle will increase detail at the expense of printing time.
You will have to learn what settings do what so you can get the result you desire. 3D printing definitely isn't as plug and play as some might think.

Re: How to smoothly transition oblique 90 corners perpendicular to a curving Fillet
For those who like parametric models (who doesn't?!), I added a couple more variables in this version: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/cb32d19500afdd5969cb34d1/v/969371bee8a0bb2dcf862edc/e/4f60f6b43b92b11564034e06
Open up the variable table and play with the isoparam variables, and also the launch_angle….
Re: How to smoothly transition oblique 90 corners perpendicular to a curving Fillet
Presumably you want that 90 degree corner to transition to the face of the fillet. Here's one way:
Re: Need help with this wrap feature.
I added some filets That may help strength of part intersects and added them to circular patterns instead of in sketch. More efficient.
Haven't done much of the printing myself but the scuttle but is that tilting the part to 45 deg will eliminate a bunch of supports.
Maybe someone with more experience can chip in on printing? 😁
Re: Need help with this wrap feature.
I've been using tree supports and controlling the interface at the top of the tree. Depending on what's being printed and quality desired on the underside and nozzle size…you can up the angle that supports are created to eliminated some of it. 45 is general rule of thumb to be safe. but I"ve had some luck all the way to 60-70 without support.

Re: Render Battle #6 - Coffee time ☕(Winner gets a real Prize!)
Wow cool! Thanks everyone, I am really excited for the hoodie 😀
That was a close battle. Thanks for the organisation and congrats for the win too @MichaelPascoe
Can everyone spill the coffee beans on how they did their render? There are some awesome techniques we can learn!
Re: Can't extrude main body of dxf
If you use the Profile inspector in the sketch you'll find a number of "Loose ends"
You need to tie up those loose ends… :) i.e. make sure that the vertices are coincident, and in some cases that there is no extra very short segment. Drag on one of the points as highlighted by the Profile inspector, then drag it back to make coincident.
I also found one other intersection between segments that needed making coincident.
You can get this pretty quickly:
Re: How to visualize cut features
Ugh, Onshape's new forum update really messes up the alignment of posts. Sorry for the double post.
You can add an input for the user called "Show split part" which would cut the part in half after all of the other operations. This way they could see inside.
