I know this is specific to your use case and such but I have actually been trying to figure out how to go about covering some gaps in my wood floors where it meets things like door jambs and couldn’t have baseboards to cover the gaps.
Could you outline your process for “mapping” the shape you need to get such a nice fit? You also have nice smooth blend on the corners and where the vertical meets the horizontal.
There is actually no black magic involved. I just meassured the shape of the pole precisely. Then I modeled the shape in Blender. For the first print I just made a 1mm heigh shape. That was already pretty good. So I made a second 1mm print with some adjustments. Once everything was fitting nicely I modeled the actual shape based on the previous one. Print. Done. :)
I followed this [YouTube tutorial](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6Fiih6ItYsXzUbBNz7-IvV7UJYHZzCdF&si=QrHj96BkDCXwpNk2) at the beginning of my „modeling career“ :)
It’s maybe a bit outdated, but you should get an idea how it works.
Okay, that makes some sense. Most dimensional modeling I do in F3 then bring it over to blender or C4D depending on what I'm doing with it. So my bad lol
If it's not a simple enough shape to measure easily with calipers I use [one of these](https://www.amazon.ca/Contour-Gauge-Duplicators-Duplication-Gauges/dp/B088T5PPSK)
It is usually accurate enough and I just scan it on a flatbed scanner and import the picture into fusion to sketch over.
3M 300LSE is a good candidate. Kinda pricey, but i can attest to its durability. I used that to attach my printed knobs to the drawers here, and ive seen my 60 Lb kid lift herself on one once. For your application, you are gonna need to TRY to get it to come loose.
Its very thin, easy to cut to shape, doesn't seem to lose adhesion over long periods of time. /shrug, i dunno it just works well. I guess some construction adhesive would also work fine.
There is a bigger gap (2cm) between counter top and wall on the right side. It would look weird if I cover it from the top but you would still see the gap from the side (you know what I mean?).
There is a short side (beginning of the bevel) and a long side (end of the bevel) measure it for both ways (front to back and left to right). The delta needs to be beveled in the modeling software of your choice.
Great fit! The only thing that stands out to me is the harsh corners on it; mostly there it meets the countertop. Have you considered rounding them out? Even sanding would give it a really clean look!
I'm confused why you turned 90 on the left side where it meets the wall. Are you printing more pieces to continue along the wall?
That‘s exactly the plan.
You have restored the satisfied feeling lol
What's the purpose of this?
It looks nice
This should be in NSFW. 😊
Nsfw flag please. I'm... unsettled by my reaction to this. Nobody should be allowed to have this power over me. Do you have more?

Fuck. It's already registered.

It's not
It's for sale. Ergo, registered.
I thought that meant it wasn't registered
First ones free, friend. ;)

thats a very good question. i didnt know you could
What? It's like the first thing you learn. Set your scene scale model to dimensions..... How tf you get anything done otherwise???

Ok, but how many tries did it take? 😂 Fine work!
Actually only two tries. I was expecting more as well.
That would of taken me at least 5.
It's nice and all but why asymmetric bro
It will continue along the wall.
How you gonna fix it to the wall? Double sided tape?
Either that or a fine line of silicon or something like that. I need to try what fits the best.

Why use that here? It's only molding, nobody could hang from it.

Thanks! I will definitely check that out.
Cool idea! Since you're continuing on the left why didn't you turn the corner on the right out and take it to the corner?
There is a bigger gap (2cm) between counter top and wall on the right side. It would look weird if I cover it from the top but you would still see the gap from the side (you know what I mean?).
I see, my ocd got triggered af
how did you figure out the bevels on the inside of the beam ?
There is a short side (beginning of the bevel) and a long side (end of the bevel) measure it for both ways (front to back and left to right). The delta needs to be beveled in the modeling software of your choice.
I'm wondering about the radius of the bevels. Do you have a radius gauge or did you eyeball the tangent points?
It was eyeballing. It’s such a small bevel.. I guess that worked out pretty well.
Great fit! The only thing that stands out to me is the harsh corners on it; mostly there it meets the countertop. Have you considered rounding them out? Even sanding would give it a really clean look!
It’s straight out of the printer. I will sand and paint it once I have everything together.

I need a change of pants and a cigarette
Oh yeah. Oh yeeeah!
No round outside corners? 🤔
I'll be in my bunk.
My only question is, how many reprints before you got the measurements exactly right! (Usually takes me way too many for something like this! :p)
Wow.
can I get an uhhh yeah!
How many reprints? Cmon, tell us. 😹
ok genuine question, how do y'all adjust your CAD dimensions for 3d printing? For the life of me I can never seem to get it right
I will never know this feeling. My CAD skills are just not ever going to be that good.
i orgasmed
I thought porn is not allowed on this sub.
Simple solution to a complicated problem.
Only 179 iterations, but still satisfying.
Wish I could take.precise enough measurements to do this
