I need to apply fillets to the inside edges of a component. My printer does not seem to be able to create 90 degree horizontal surfaces; it creates a stringy tangle. So I thought that by adding fillets it might work. Ive looked at the fillet instructions but am not having any luck.

Would you be willing to start over from scratch on this design with step-by-step instructions?

Well I’ve been able to create a fillet (you have to pull downstairs from
Modify and select fillet instead of just pressing the picture.
I’ll print and see if it works.
To clarify; the problem I’m having is printing horizontal overhangs.

Im still unable to apply fillets to the picture I attached. Not sure why, when I was able to do it with another design.

You can't filled if the parts are not combined.

You can't combine components.
All you need ist one sketch.

If your printer can't print it, you should change the settings.

Does your slicer have support options? We have 2 printers, a Prusa and some other one and both slicers have support options. There is a recomendation with the Prusa of something like more than 10 degrees from vertical will require supports. I'd look around in the slicer menu for a supports option.
