Fillet complex edges

I tried to play with all the fillet settings but every time I get "Failed to fillet selection".
Is the edge too complex or is there something I can do about it ?

    try using Face-blend iso a regular fillet. it's not only more flexible, but also more flexible.
    the problematic area is probably the lower elliptical point. but face blend found a solution for some radius values. this is 0.2 mm

    have you tried all kinds of radius values? Investigating when a feature fails/works is a good way to understand why it fails in the first place.

    yes I tried with lowest value possible (0.01) and it still fail. It’s hard to debug without any other info

    It does work great.

    Thanks a lot !
