Thanks d12dozr, I tray it, and it work pretty well. However, it has a aproblem to stay solid, and joint push/pull is not the best on a complex surfaces. But I am not giveing up ...

Yes, complex surfaces are difficult to keep solid...lucky for us, Thomthom made a solution: Solid Inspector And of course, make sure you are modeling at a larger-than-life scale like Rich suggested above
Are you 3D printing the ring?

I did it.

- Healing to solid
- Intersect
- Welding and intersecting
- Joint push/pull
