Hi there,
I'm essentially trying to create a 3D jigsaw puzzle, which i'd like to cut with CNC machine.
I'm using the Fredo 6 Joint push pull interactive to thicken connected planes. However when I thicken the surface the back face breaks into triangles as you can see. Any idea how to stop this happening?
Best case would be if I could thicken the surfaces and each connected plane thickens as individual groups, however I can't find a tool which does that with mitred joints. You can see in the attached image that when I extrude the individual groups they neither extrude along the same path nor keep the correct angle between the joints. Any help would be much appreciated.
That absolutely ideal solution would be:
- Tool which thickens the surfaces making each plane an individual group, keeping joints flush between planes.
- Then a tool which creates a net of the shape so it can be cut on CNC machine.
Cheers,
Michelle
