Hey, I am trying to model a lug that joins two pipes at an angle. I would like to add a fillet at the joining point that nicely runs around the join. Is there an efficient way to do it using Round-Anything? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah that's hard to do in OpenSCAD. The minkowski round would work but it's so slow I'd only use it if desperate. @TLC123 Did add some utils that might help, but I've not actually used the so don't have first hand experience. The docs for it are here https://github.com/Irev-Dev/Round-Anything/blob/master/unionRoundMask-Doc.md Let me know how you go. |

Thanks for getting back to me. I used
As you can see the join has a nice filet now and looks rather professional. Its a bit slower but still quite reasonable on my machine. |

I put together a small tutorial modeling the part using this information. Added a shout out for your great library as well. Feel free to check it out: https://schroer.ca/2022/08/01/head-tube-lug/ |

Thanks for the write-up. Was easier to use than I thought, but it takes ages to calculate the preview on my laptop (actual rendering is reasonably fast) :) |
