Seperate a funnel for sheet unfolding

ugqry — Thu, 20 Sep 2018 20:18:54 GMT

Hello together,

I've created a funnel (look at the attachment) and now have to split the funnel into four seperate sheets of wood.
For sugestions how to split the funnel I would be very grateful.

After I split the funnel I have to unfold the sheets.

The whole projects the main part of an passive wooden Smartphon-Speacker Amplifier.

The unfolded form will be cutet out of the wood, bend seperatly and then glued to one funnel.

I hope you forgive my insufficent english skills and many thanks in advance for your support.

The funnel

Hi! You can simply do it by using 4 different solid bodies to begin with. Edit Contour Flange3 and change it to New Solid. Edit Mirror2 and change it to New Solid. Repeat it for Mirror3. You will need to fix up the Cuts. But, you get 4 different bodies without the need to separate them.

Many thanks!

This should get you started (see attached).

I assume you also want beveled edges - which will be a bit more work.
