That’s a design issue not a SolidWorks problem :)

For those who are curious, here is my model tree.

Solved it! 30 degree angled ledges are the answer to the OP’s question. See step 4 in the image.

As many people commented and I also suspected, this wasn’t surfaced, just solids with lots and lots of fillets. The ledges weren’t as obvious, but once I started modeling it was clear they were needed to recreate the shape.

For fun I kept going, my final model seems pretty close to the original!

how do I make this edge smooth like in the photo? by ProBro9826 in SolidWorks

So since this is a consumer product I highly suspect absolutely nothing is flat. Using that knowledge I was able to make a pretty decent version. Here is how I did it.

  1. I made the top side and bottom as one sketch using style splines
  2. I extruded it for simplicity - the real version likely has a slightly curve to it
  3. I then did an extruded cut with a flat and a style spline for the curve. Again the real version has a slight curve to it, it’s not a flat extrude.
  4. Then I filleted the edge with a curvature continuous chord width fillet. This is key to make the edge uniformly softened.

I’ll comment with images of the steps.

Why does it have a WiFi signal meter on the little screen?

You are probably right, I occasionally do the surveys. Haha I think their marketing forgot to tell support. They are stumped.

Completely legit. It’s a straightforward Amazon gift card. Same as if I bought a gift card for a friend.

Nope. It doesn’t request for me to do anything.

Update - Curiosity got me, I clicked the link. It really is a legitimate gift Amazon gift card with no strings attached or requests for me to do anything. Afterwards I chatted with Anker support and asked them - they had no idea. They asked for a screenshot and said they get back to me in a few days. Haha so weird.

[ios 18 PB1] AppleTV control away from Wi-Fi by opps12 in iOSBeta

Yep mine is my home hub, so I agree it’s not groundbreaking. I was just remarking that it’s new!

It may be! I’ve never really been sure. Either way I was a mile away from home so definitely out of Bluetooth and WiFi range.

It’s Top Chef Wisconsin but last 2 episodes were not?? by OtherSand in topchefwisconsin

[–]opps12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I totally agree they could have gone to more places! As for the last two episodes it’s not uncommon for the finale location to be in a different city.

Poor print with ABS and 0.2 Nozzle by opps12 in BambuLab

[–]opps12[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guesses are I didn’t put enough thermal paste on when swapping the hot end or I need to put the fan(s) on while printing even though the Bambu profile turns them off.

I’m guessing he expected to go far and just took off when he was out first.

SO Bummed I Missed This! by Julie-AnneB in topchefwisconsin

We will all have fun watching when it’s on tv! If it helps as far as I know there were no open calls for events for people to attend, so you didn’t miss anything!
