      yes sir... you make it look so easy I really feel dumb... 😳
      There is the one complete hole (where the casing metal is poured) and the angled core is partially open at the top . The opening at the top of the angled core is to allow venting. There will be a 'funnel' above the main core to 'push' the molten metal.
      I've been trying to get the core into a solid but... anyway... as it was, it did print...
      sooo, how the heck did you do it? and where should I start to get similar results??

          yes, affirmative!
          I'm still trying to figure it out... I've got the cores separated as solids and am following the directions (from SketchUp https://help.sketchup.com/en/article/3000100, Subtracting one solid from another (or use Intersect Faces with Model) section). Is that the procedure I should be using? or should I be using Trimming one solid with another section? Problem with the Trimming is that I don't have Pro.

          Well, I thought I almost had it... subtracted the horizontal core from the vertical core where they intersected, manually patched up the 'open faces'... BugSplat!

          I'm taking a break now... go see if the Coyotes are still prowling around the goat shed... pick some eggs... see if I can clear my head...

          Just saw your post pilou... thanks

            Good luck with the coyotes and the goats. On average, how many eggs do your goats lay daily?

              That will work for me... whenever it is convenient for you... send me PM with approx. time so I am sure to be on the lookout.

                I believe that you can't have directly the result because
                from your profil seems you have the SU Make!
                Only SU Pro have complete boolean operation! (Difference, union, intersection,...)
                So you must must make the intersection by hands!

                  You can make the same things than the Pro with the SU Make version...
                  except the fact that you must
                  choose by hand that you must erase for have the volume resulting wishing!

                      Thanks pilou...

                      I think I have made some progress in understanding the 'intersection' stuff... I was able to 'subtract' the part of the vertical core (that fits over the horizontal core, i.e., like a saddle), manually closed it up and now Solid. I set the to cores together and used SolidSolver... it fixed some things and now the 2 cores are a solid group. πŸ˜„
