Help Drawing cross hatch or mesh Hello, If there ia a better place to ask this please point me there. I am using Cubify invent , trying to make a cross hatch pattern inside an irregular shapped oblong drawing. But just doing this in a rectangle would work as well, by cross hatch I mean intersecting lines with no material between them, like a net. I have taken the shape with out the cross hatch and extruded it to .030'' thick and it prints perfectly, but it is solid and I need it to be like a web inside. The oblong is 3.25'' long by 2.25 at the widest and .030 thick. In Cubify Invent it complains that my drawing in not closed if I try my attempt at this. I tried Sketch up also but can't figure it out. I am willing to pay someone if they can do this, then I can see how it is done also. Please let me know if you have any Ideas.

I use Cubify Design so I don't know how that compares to Invent but it looks like you'd create two parts. The first part would be the outer edge of the ellipse. The second part would be the internal mesh. You can use Linear Pattern'd rectangles to create the internal mesh. Then you'd use a Boolean Unite to join the two parts and make them one.

edit: Well, you'd need 3 parts, one for the vertical beams of the "net" and one for the horizontal and one for the outer ring. Then Unite all those.]]> TedMilker General Tue, 18 Feb 2014 08:47:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,312106,312443#msg-312443 Re: Help Drawing cross hatch or mesh https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,312106,312443#msg-312443
