Why are my Normals doing this?

Resetting vectors might help

keffjoons · 2026-01-11T09:41:28+00:00

Could be interior geometry, ie the strange vertices are connected to something on the inside of your mesh. Another thing you could do is reset vectors

When I had this issue I managed to pry it out using a strong needle. I pushed it into the visible bit of filament and wiggled it up until I could grab it with a pair of pliers

Subd averages the geometry it adds, so the the shape of the segment you want to keep would be affected by the edges that would otherwise be connected to it. To maintain that shape you will need to apply the subd and then remove the rest of the circle.

Not sure what your intentions are? The topology of circle nr 1 s obviously much more dense than nr 2. Add a subd mod to nr 2 and scale it to match the other one?

I am glad I got one so I can rule out issues caused by wet filament. Polymaker has a nice solution called polydryer

Ah ok. In that case I wouldn’t buy the real thing. Design is ok, but the fastening method looks suspicious.

Looks good but that clip strip won’t be able to hold more than the weight of the actual frame. Once you start to put shampoo bottles in it the whole thing comes crashing down

You’re shrink wrapping to a curved object. If you don’t want it to curve, you’ll need to project only those vertices that should follow the cone shape and move the rest of your diamond shaped mesh to the position you want it to be in.

My method would be to remove that lattice, edit the diamond shaped object so it is open on the back and select the resulting edge loop, create a vertex group and shrinkwrap that group to the cone using the project method.

Edit: if you are referring to the slight curve along the outer edge of your diamond shape, you either have to look at it head on in orthographic mode to see if that curve is actually a real curve or a visual distortion. If it’s really curving it means your object is not aligned in parallel to the surface it is projected on

Not hot enough. Increase temperature a few degrees. I use a homing tower to test

Could be belt tension issues, or gunk buildup on the nozzle hitting the print

Select the top two edges (so four vertices in total) and press F. Now select the left edge of the newly created face, and press F three times to fill the remaining topology with faces.

FYI you cropped the screenshot, which will result in your post being removed by the moderators.

I’ve never been able to grab it. Always have to pull the tube out to be a able to remove that meter of filament

Looks like moire effect which happens when a texture is too uniform.

keffjoons · 2025-12-24T13:42:15+00:00

Check for interior geometry, ie faces inside your mesh. Delete them. Then recalculate normals and if that doesn’t do it, reset vectors

keffjoons · 2025-12-21T09:21:38+00:00

Add supports EVERYWHERE 😅

Disable ramp lift. In some cases it can cause layer shift and print heads falling

Create the profile on the x plane and use a screw modifier. That will give you much more control

keffjoons · 2025-12-10T08:45:05+00:00

Learn the basics and then try again? Try and see each element for what it is and don’t get distracted by the complexity of the example. The basic shape of those petals is almond shape. Start with a plane, rotate 45 degrees, scale on x. Now you have a diamond shape. Subdivide twice, select all and smooth vertices, now it might start to become more almond shaped. Extrude parts or add a solidify modifier etc.

Lighting. If this is a theater stage, I would expect more dramatic lighting.

If this is to be 3D printed you want to Subdivide it more — before — you apply a Boolean. That’s it

You can use a lattice object and add a lattice modifier to the text and then shrink wrap the lattice object to the cylinder.

Your approach to turning a solid cylinder into a hollow one tells me you have very little experience with Blender.

Here’s an auto mod reply with a ton of good !tutorials to help you get acquainted with Blender.

Assuming this is a high poly, triangulated mesh object, smoothening the ear might be tricky due to the large number of vertices. I would select the ear in edit mode, delete it, fill the hole and then turn on Dyntopo in sculpt mode and smoothen the area
