I’m a very new Shapr3D user, so I thought I’d try something challenging to learn the ropes. I’d like to create a cylinder and put three evenly spaced holes (120º apart) in it. I’ve created the cylinder but I’m lost on how to sketch the holes. I’ve tried but I can not get a hole added and I certai…

There are a number of ways to do this. Try here Hole in cylinder

Really good tutorials here. Use the search forum feature first if you can. :grin:

Apologies for the poor quality video. I had to reduce the quality and size to keep it below the 10MB limit.

Thank you but that’s not quite where I was going. Think of a piece of pipe in which you drill three holes at precisely 120º intervals. I was able to get what I wanted after fighting the software and mucking up one of my near attempts. I still can’t delete the old stains of my attempts DESPITE sea…

Can you export STL’s in high resolution?

Is this what you’re trying to do? iCloud I did some planning, and created a plane outside of the cylinder. Then extruded the cylinder, and added holes around it. I forgot to select the add “+” for the first hole, but I turned it on after. I then export for 3D printing.

How do you change that plane? I fumbled about and eventually got the plane where it needed to be but dont’ ask me how.

Video here is awful. I can’t get a full screen view to see what you’re clicking on to repeat your example. Whenever I stop the video, the page scrolls too.

Moving the plane is easy. You select it, just like you would select a line or surface. Then use the Move-Rotate tool.
