I'm looking for some alternative to emboss some sketch shapes in a cylinder body at 25 degrees down.
I basically have a cylindrical head and I would like to emboss the face elements (eyes, mouth) to that face at 25 degrees down. I need the elements to cut the body at this angle because I will print the individual pieces (head/eyes/mouth) in a 3d printer (NO AMS) and straight cuts will create overhang areas that aren't handled well by filament printers. The face elements should fit in the head after printed.
I tried some alternatives like "plane at angle"/"tangent plane", but none of them produce a decent result. When planning at angle the face elements get distorted due to the angle. The only method that produces accurate results is "Emboss", but unfortunately I can't angle the internal embossed walls down.
This is the desired result:
What I get when extrude at 25 degrees angle (all elements get distorted):
I'm attaching the original file if it helps.
