Fill Space Between Bodies - Boundary Fill Not Working

[Anonymous]

I needed to make an angled and tapered hole in a solid body so I sketched the at the angle and taper I wanted, used revolve. to make the first body.  Then I made the second body from another sketch.  Now I need to join these two bodies and fill the space in between them.  Deleting the inner face of body #2 will fill the whole object in.  Boundary fill doesn't give me a cell option to fill the gap.  Is there a better way to construct this object?

Boundary fill needed defined boundaries. It cannot bride open gaps.

I have a feeling, however, that what you are trying is not the most efficient workflow. 

BTW, there's a huge photo button when writing a post. try that the next tome you are posting an image 😉

Any thoughts on a better workflow?  I'm a complete noob to CAD, we have a 3D printer in our chemistry lab and I've been making small upgrades to an instrument.

Can you share your model (public link form data panel with download enabled) ?

Is there a reason why you just don't cut a tapered circle extrude into the solid body?

Like this idea?

I didn't know I could enter a taper value like that from an extruded circle.  I need the overall hole to be at an angle through the main body as well.  Would I then just move the smaller face off centre from the larger circle?

Then you would loft between two circles, like this:

Awesome, thank you so much!  I thought there should be an easier way but when I googled how to make a tapered hole all the tutorials began with a revolved sketch.  Thanks again!

your working way to hard to achieve this shape.  And you shouldn't be using the move command AT ALL.   Can you hand sketch a cross section of what you want to achieve?

and a side note, the area indicated in pic is going to be problematic for 3d printing.
