Full Chamfer of Embossed feature

[wm_crash]

Hello Fusion World,

I have a small issue here. I have an embossed feature on a (mainly) spherical body. I would like a 45 degree chamfer starting on the face of the spherical body. The emboss height is 0.01. Since some of the lines are so narrow, the meeting chamfers on either side of that will reduce that height. That is fine. However, I am not able to get this chamfered.

I have also tried constructing planes and cut sweeping with a triangular profile.

In both cases, Fusion doesn't like what I am trying to do. I am getting those warning things with somewhat generic info in them.

A simplified version of my design is included. If there is a solution to this, I would appreciate some input.

thanks,

Cosmin

Hi,

Try switching off the "tangent chain" option and selecting the edges individually.
But even then the size of the chamfer is limited to approx. 0.001 inch.

I see what you mean, but I am trying to have a bevel at 45 degrees starting from the base of the embossing.

thanks,

Hi,

As I already wrote, you can start at the base but not create a chamfer up to the full height. This is because the profile intersects itself.

Mine is complete trickery en route to a workaround using a Cylindrical surrogate but indeed 12 degrees was the greatest chamfer angle I could get...So Dead End...for now! I'm a mm guy...This seems tiny...I assume it is jewelry? Pandora bead or similar?

Close enough on what this is, just a little bit more manly. I make small hand plane adjustment hammers. While they look good as machined, I am trying to up my game by adding some decorations. I am trying to do some lost wax castings. The first step is making a 3D print so I can make a resin mold. Those embosses coming perpendicular to the surface are a pain to support for resin 3D printing, so I just want to bevel them.

Attached is a photo of some of the hammers I've made.

My working files are a bit more complex, and I didn't want to have complications and distractions. So I made a little bead to show just what I am battling.

cheers,

Cosmin

Still just experimenting but I'm confident this circuitous approach would work at draft angles appropriate to profile.
