Hi. Im very new in 3dprinting and CAD (i got Bambu A1 a week ago). Iv'e learned the CAD basics in Fusion but quickly switched to Onshape (im a linux user).

Im making this part

https://cad.onshape.com/documents/ce6e3892640d2553b94fae59/w/9001bf2b187847d9d9aa4527/e/070ca83bbf1a0246fc4326cc

I extruded 4 cylinders, 2 of them start from the flat surface (where sketch is placed). And two must start from rounded part. And thus they go through the model. I tried to change "Blind" setting to other available but it doesnt work.

    You could either move the sketch up and extrude down, or simpler still, use a Delete Face feature to remove the excess.

    "Delete Face" did the job! Thank you!

    "Delete Face" worked well. Yet if i wanted to move the sketch up, how would i do that?

    The easiest way to do it is to use a Mate connector as the sketch plane (the one-quarter disc icon) which can then be edited to have an offset.

    But you can also use the Starting offset option in the Extrude and leave the sketch where it is. So many ways…

    So i would have to do it twice right? One time to go up from the offset (Blind), and second time go down from the offset (Up to something) ?

    Yes it would have to be two separate extrudes because the bosses are at different heights, but you can use up to next for both.
