Chamfer a hole
-
I try using Curviloft, made offset of 200 on the flat side, and made a tube.
Intersect with a curved surface.
Create a copy of your curve on a curved surface, and copy the curve into an object, but on an orthogonal axis.
Delete current curve and after that I used Curviloft.

wow impressive
I have curviloft, could you do a tutorial to show me how you do it
thanks Dean -
Well, I was wrong!
That chamfer should follow a curve and my idea of just offsetting the hole on the flat side is wrong.
I will try and make a gif today by using Tools_On_Surface and Curviloft and post it today. -
If this part was being created out of metal, what method would you use to chamfer the edge of the counterbore?

Hi, here is GIF in which I use ToolsOnSurface and Curviloft.
I made it too big, first time creating one so this one I upload to my cloud service:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkMAr9Me_-ODgYg5gAhaz5zX3bg45Q?e=oAgoRFWhat I did is recreate that portion with more segments on a curved surface to get a more smooth transition from a high count of segments on the hole to fewer segments on a curved surface.
Hope it helps, maybe BOX or Dave gets something better.

Nice Gif nlipovac, one thing, you may not need tools on surface as the second ring is also a circle so you could start with a double tube. I'd have to try it to be sure though.
I, like Dave, am waiting for an answer to Dave's question, without knowing the actual method for making the chamfer in real life it is pretty hard to model it. A normal countersink tool wouldn't work, is it hand done with a dremil, cast, etc... the tool/method tells you what shape it can be.

Hi thanks for all the tips
I’m 3d printing the parts, they are special clips for holding parts to boat stanchions
There are 39 parts to the set -
Hi how do you open the file
-
-
I managed to open it through one drive
Nice piece of work
Thanks Dean
