How would you model this? (Better fillets on a curved surface)

[marka100]

Hello everyone, I recently stared making more complex models in fusion, and I've baceme stuck on this topic. I have some surfaces (most of wich are curved) that need to be filleted, but the results made by the fillet tool are rather... underwhelming to say the least. Can anyone help me and teach me how to make better fillets? Thanks in advance.

I've also included two pics of a real guitar of mine where the fillets look really good, and so that might be an example of what I'm trying to achieve.

Welcome to the community!  That looks like a Strat?  Would you be willing to share your part file with what you have started so others can give you some direction?

Can you share your model?

Hi! It may involve a few trial-and-error in fillet order to get the desirable result. Please share the f3d file here. The forum experts can help take a look.

Many thanks!

I see you are new here and thus far none of the responses explain exactly how to Attach your *.f3d file.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

Thanks everyone for the quick replies, and sorry if i didn't lead with the file. Here you go:

I can only export to a .f3z, and if I try to attach the inner files they stop working. Do you know how could I share the file with you guys?

[laughingcreek]

if the model contains any linked components, then you will only be able to export as a .f3z, which is sort of like a zip file that will also contain the files that are linked in the model.  a .f3z will be fine.

or

you can break all the links to external components, which will allow export as a .f3d.  (frequently preferred on our end as it's less hassle to open the model)

Done, I've edited my previous comment to include the file. Thank you so much, now I've learned how to  export projects.

Filleting is often about strategy and how to sequence the fillets:

Thank you! That seems to have done the trick. I never knew about the chord length fillet, now I got a new tool under my belt.
