Modeling a bicycle frame lug in Shapr3d

[JasonFS]

I have been attempting, with little progress, to model a bike frame lug in Shapr3d.

I feel that it is impossible at the moment. but I would like to know if I am just missing something obvious.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Was this not what you are trying to do?

Help with wrapping an object around another object

Here is an attempt from the best I can tell from the photo you shared. Maybe you can use an approach like this. Make a cylinder Create a block and project the circle onto it Make holes in the shape of the part that protrudes Rotate the block to get the angled taper Subtract the block and cylinder [IMG_2133.PNG] PostClamp.shapr (50.0 KB) Or use the process Tigermike shared but instead of rotating flat to the cylinder rotate it at an angle.

I drew a couple of different examples. The red is from the message I sent above. The silver is one I free-styled to demonstrate how you might approach the problem. The silver is roughly based on this I found from a search for bike lug.

Below is a Shapr3D project where I left the sketches intact so you can see how to do it. Here is a Shapr3D render of the project

Hey @Yepher ,
Exactly was I needed. This is a great solution. I love it.
Thank you very very much.
I will sit down and play around with the concept tomorrow.
Brilliant, thanks a million!!
