Hello Fusion forum,

Working on making a tube with this shape.

But the 3D printer does not like hollow objects so used Split Body to make the tube two objects
with semi circular shapes.

When the two sides of the tube are fit

together it would be better if the sides have a section like this

Trying to figure out how to change the bodies so the edges of the half tubes have this shape.
Thanks.
Allen

To be successful with the splitting of the tube, you need to create a cutting surface completely across the tube end.  You can use the Pipe center line sketch as the path.  I guessed at your dimensions so please verify.  I also separated the "Long_arm" from the assembly so I could return the model as an F3D file.
