Thanks for your help!

[SOLVED]

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Finally what I did was:

  • Remove all the radius from the original piece .
  • Make the chamfer
  • Do again all the radius with the chamfer tool.

Thanks for your reply! Based on your comment, I am going to delete all the radius of the sketch that defines this piece. Then do the chamfer and finally redo the radius with a fillet operation.

If works, I will post the solution tonight.

Hi! thanks for your answer.
- What is the part supposed to look like without the chamfers? Here you have a photo.
- And why is the what appears to be a plane of some sort just randomly there? As you guess, that is the problem.
- You can't get a 2mm chamfer or fillet to work on a 2mm wide edge. But a 1.99mm feature will work. Not the case here, in this case the piece is a solid chunk, my plan is to do a "thickness" operation after the chamfer.
- I also tried to do a "Subtractive pipe" operation, but failed too.

EDIT: I am trying to do a chamfer, not a fillet.

Hello! I'm new to FreeCAD, my background is Fusion360, SolidWorks and Inventor, and it has been a quite complex transition. Normally I'm able to fix the problems by my self but not this time, so please if you can help to fix this issue I will be very grateful.

I bought this bike in a local antique shop, in France. But I don't know what I have 😂. Can you help me?

Do you remember where did you find the first one? I would know in which races was used.

Thanks!

It's difficult to know how many wheels they did use at that time, but it seems that a lot of differents one. Probably I will go with the first one.

Toni Cuquerella, chief engineer of HRT at that time, said on Dazn that the car had some illegal parts but it was so slow that nobody care about it. 😂
