Bike Head Tube Organic Shape

marcel_grabermarcel_graber Member Posts: 2

Hi all,

I'm in the design of a bicycle frame with 3d printed lugs and carbon tubes. But I'm still struggeling with a clean organic shape for the lugs. As an example, I made a simplified lug. Can you help me in how to do it the "clever" way in OnShape? As you see on the picture, I do not get a smooth transition between the loft of the tubes and the "filet" between these lofts.

    marcel_graber - You might try working with the variable fillet option inside the fillet command - there is a bit of a learning curve involved. I've found that getting a perfectly flowing organic shape can be quite challenging.
