Hello,
I want to create an air duct to connect an older table saw with my new vacuum.
I designed first the connecting rings to print and validate diameters. This is done. Now I would like to connect them by loft.
Could you help me how this works? So far I found desciritions for plane areas only.
Thanks, Frank
“Loft” only works with closed sketches, in your case these must be circles, not rings. If you make two cylinders, select the opposite surfaces and loft will work. Then use the “shell” command.
I intentionally made the pipes not only with different diameters, but also with different wall thicknesses. With this configuration, Loft + Shell won’t give the desired result. This approach, however, allows you to model almost any shape.
For example:
