Creating an L-Bracket on a curved surface and a flat face.
To clarify...
I managed to get this far, but I can't make another bracket in the same way on the curved surface on the side. It's a surface, and I have tried to thicken it even 0.1mm but I'm not allowed.
Edit: For some reason, 5mm did not work, but 6mm did work. I will try this approach again on the side and see if it behaves.
Hmm ... that part looked familiar, so I navigated to the other thread where you discussed the same part. I had a feeling you would come back!
How will this be manufactured ?
Turns out I figured it out. These pieces (The cover and the brackets, not the surrounding "duct" as that is already made) will be 3D printed out of CFRP. Here's what I came up with.
The timeline of your design did not look very promising in terms of overall workflow. More stumbling than "figuring out".

Oh, I was for sure stumbling. No shame there.
What I was trying to say somewhat awkwardly is that if you are interested I can look at the design and perhaps suggest a better workflow 😉
I feel like the uniformity of the bracket can be improved, just not sure how to go about it. I figured you can join them with a loft and curvature (G2) option, just trying to make it a bit more uniform now (The thicknesses at the base of the bracket, for example).
So the first 50% of the timeline is just to clean up this pretty bad model and make the perimeter surfaces stitch properly. It might not seem strictly necessary, but in my experience it is always better to start with clean geometry to avoid problems later.
The operations following are all to create the blocking surface and the bracket that holds it in place.
As you can see, this is mostly a surface modeling exercise.
Model is attached.
