Edge won't fillet but the other side edge will?

The bottom has filleted but the same bit on the top won't?

Never mind, I figured it out! I don't know how to delete a post though, I only see an 'edit' option.

Hey @denton_lister,

Good for solving it yourself, I still had a look at your model and think the issue was some fillets were self-intersecting and therefore resulting in faulty geometry. 

Just an fyi, have a look at this copy of your model. You can make multiple selections for fillets, helps you to reduce features/clicks.
+ The hole feature does not need a sketch. It can work with an implicit mate connector.

Yes that was definitely the issue, thanks for taking the time to look anyway!

That's a much cleaner and more efficient way to work, I'll definitely keep it in mind. I've never used the hole function (can you tell I'm a huge noob 😂) but just tried it out and it's great! Seems like it could also be useful for screw holes(?), will have to watch some tutorials.

Thank you!

Glad to hear, this was useful for you.

The hole feature is your tool for screw holes, it's pretty self-explanatory. You can find more info and some videos here: https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/hole.htm?Highlight=hole
