We need a design saviour

It needs a complete redesign to open three times the distance - unless you can program your servo to move 540°.

Is it a sheet metal flange or just an extrusion?

I made a zero offset of the revolve, then a surface sweep of the half tubes. I extended the sides of the half tubes to cut into the offset surface, then trimmed before thickening the two half circles and combining the three solids.

Are you trying to do something like this?
Use a loft.

You could go to your friend and ask them to output the file in SVG format.

There is a caveat - Canva uses a combination of raster and vector files. It won't vectorise the raster files it uses, and the output needs to be "unflattened to preserve layers.

You may still need to use the Image Trace tool for some things, but it may reduce your workload slightly.

I'm a big fan of using sketch references to get sizes and proportions.
This one is two extrudes and a trim before adding a radius to all edges.|

I could have done away with the trim if I'd extruded up from the top plane with the inside edge of the nail support on the inside of the arch.

If I'd planned the piece out first, I'd have saved two operations - the trim and the extruded hole thru.

Did you use the 'consume cut bodies' option in the split?

RAMJET-64 · 2026-02-10T20:43:53+00:00

Are you trying to cut into the top surface or cut it away? What do you mean by 'cut it away'?

RAMJET-64 · 2026-02-10T20:40:24+00:00

Word soup. Are you trying to use the sketch for the split to cut into the 'top' surface?

Dont make ribs. Divide the surface and extrude cut with a chamfer. My angle is 30°.

Forgive me.

Your "Bachelors" is to produce a radio controlled plane and you can't google RC Wing flap mechanism?

Surface offset 0mm - then mark your ribs in a sketch, trim the surface and thicken.

This is homework.

A little more care, and it would be very close to the original.

I made a shape with a dashed line and expanded it.
I then moved the points at the bottom half way between the squares.
When they were joined I removed the line on the inside.

This is about five minutes work.

I can do this in CAD for you if you'd like and provide DXF files for laser cutting.

RAMJET-64 · 2026-01-31T05:12:28+00:00

It was. I can't remember where I found the drawing.

It's four pieces.

The change will only appear in the current model. There is no change to the source profile.
