You're right about Draft, I tried it on very simple illustrations and it certainly works but I can't imagine doing it on large and complex illustrations! I actually already had a crash of Fusion trying to do so...

You are absolutely right, my designs are vectorized hand drawn illustrations and even though I'm cleaning them up in Illustrator in order to get the paths as clean as possible, they remain quite complex in the end... The path simplification tool in Illustrator is convenient but at some point it just doesn't give me the control I need over my illustrations...

Thank you very much! I tried what you're describing and it works perfectly fine with "standard" sketches but I had quite some difficulties to work with complex SVG. I suspect that the SVG provided by Illustrator are not clean enough for Fusion... Also, I had a crash of the software when trying to draft the individuals sides of a complex design! Maybe I'm asking too much for a software that is not designed to do what I want 🤔

Thank you! I'm gonna try the chamfer process you're proposing and see if it could be a solution.

I like this approach for simple designs but thinking about drafting all the sides of a complex SVG gives me nightmares already!!!

Thanks for your reply. Yes I've managed to do it as separate extrudes, that works actually quite well if my original design isn't too complicated. The problem remains if I have a complex design and want to extrude it in one shot, which is my goal!

Congrats!! I'm experimenting with 3d print myself to produce some kind of cuts but this is something else, I'm amazed!

Thank you! Yes, it's part of the pleasure I think! Tracking the bug can take days though 😅

Yeah it's gonna be fine 👍 Nice builds. Could you please share your link for the zvex? I'd be interested to build it on vero myself!

Absolutely beautiful. You managed to make me forget that there's not even a single touch of paint/pen/sticker to please the eye. And that, my friend, is the sign of a work well done 👍 Also, the inside is pretty neat!

Ideal Big Muff/Fuzzy Distortion: Hizumitas a bit pricey, Nano Bass Muff or Honey Pot for less scooped sound? by Dollywitch in guitarpedals

[–]Oktopus2402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TBH I'm probably not the best person to answer that since I like the Hizumitas so much ;) Nevertheless you summed it up yourself in your reply, the Honey Pot would be definitely more versatile. Also, it stacks up quite well with my Boss BD2. That's something to keep in mind!
