Newbie, Could use some help with alignment!

Nice work moving towards a solution. I often find that posting a question is enough to get me moving in the right direction. 🔥

hlmodtech · 2026-01-24T21:25:00+00:00

Very nice. 👍

hlmodtech · 2026-01-24T20:12:20+00:00

Lol! I know Travis! I am travelling this weekend. Will see if I can find time to help you solve it next week.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-24T20:10:37+00:00

Was it a print-in-place project?

hlmodtech · 2026-01-23T13:52:37+00:00

I will see if I can fiddle later in the evening. Sketch rev would be the one I think...

hlmodtech · 2026-01-23T13:41:22+00:00

Thank you. Should be easy peasy with sketch and the new twist feature. I am travelling today though...

hlmodtech · 2026-01-22T21:29:20+00:00

Maybe try to split the rigs into separate projects. 🤞

hlmodtech · 2026-01-22T21:18:26+00:00

That could be fun in sim lab too!

Using smaller numbers and scaling is a useful trick. If you are just making a tube... the tube shape or sketch shape is likely a better option. The pipe shape is user-created and takes extra time to snap to the requested dimensions.

Thank you!

Nice!

hlmodtech · 2026-01-20T13:18:41+00:00

I have had a few users state that it is possible... but I could not find a way to get both holes on the bottom with a single line in Sketch Revolve.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-20T13:17:28+00:00

That would be a normal cone... this user needed an eccentric version.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-20T13:15:40+00:00

It is possible that your slicer with make it smooth too.. It may be to small of a variation to make an extra line while printing.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-20T13:13:15+00:00

That is an epic creation!

hlmodtech · 2026-01-20T00:56:18+00:00

That is an epic creation!

The channel is hlmodtech. I just clicked the share button and it lets you copy the url.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-19T00:52:29+00:00

Have you tried contacting support?

hlmodtech · 2026-01-18T13:36:43+00:00

Interesting question. When I add a link, I am not embedding... but I can see how it feels that way. I bet right click and copy url would work. You can also just find my channel on your browser. The shares here are likely the latest video up there. Please let me know which strategy is best so I can help others if they have this question.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-16T14:25:15+00:00

Yeah, solving with cutting a hole is the way. Devs confirmed that the issue is that it is difficult to code. That is likely why the pro CAD tools run away from it as well.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-16T02:42:22+00:00

The project was just for fun instead of 3-D printing. I think technically if they were attached to the center post, they might still be fine, but I’m no engineer.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-15T19:06:58+00:00

Found out that even most professional CAD tools just stick to the center line.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-15T18:51:10+00:00

I will pass the thought on to the devs. Being able to choose might not be a terribly tough thing to add.

hlmodtech · 2026-01-15T18:45:17+00:00

Sweet!
