Fill void to make solid suitable for 3D printing.

[iMaJiNe_Designs]

I'm trying to fill in a void so I can get a solid model for 3D printing.  Since this part will be grafted onto an existing part to be printed; I don't want any pockets for uncured resin to remain in the finished product.

The attached file is what was removed from an existing model that was created a few years back before I had access to a 3D printer and my Inventor skills were just a notch above newbie.  I've tried the 'Fill Voids' and 'Sculpt' command without success.  I've split the model in two hoping to fill each half and then 'Combine' them without success.  I've also tried making 'Boundary Patches' that could be 'Stitched' together into a solid with no luck.

So is this model too hosed up, or have I missed something in my attempts to fill the void?

I'm using Inventor 2020.

I think, stitching Boundary Patch1 - Attempt 1 with the main geometry can do it.

Thanks!  That took care of it!

I don't do much with surfaces, which is why I was expecting a more difficult solution.

As usual, Occam's razor was the answer.
