Truebend isn’t bending accurately? – Extensions

I wish to make gear wheel from a gear line by copying the gear line and
make the copy bent with truebend to a gear wheel.

My intentions I’ve drawn in connected pic with a orange pen.
After I attempt Truebend, it bends in a twisted method not meant.
I set the axis as proven within the pic (see the pink deal with)

Please inform me what I’m doing incorrect?

Share the SketchUp mannequin file with is so we are able to see how you could have it arrange.

What sort of gear are you making an attempt to make?

Truebend will solely bend accurately when aligned on the pink axis.
You may transfer the pink axis however that you must bend it pulling towards you or away not up or inexperienced.

Thanks for reply so rapidly. I wasnät anticipating that :-)I’ve aligned to the pink axis which is proven within the image. See the pink deal with

Right here is my skp file

gear band – gear wheel.skp (45.2 KB)

Or should you needed this, it’s simply one other alternative of orientation.

Oh my God thanks a lot
I by no means realized that I needed to rotate the entire object and place it in direction of the world’s axis pink

Does this imply that I can not edit the axis within the part

Which is why I requested what sort of gear the OP is making an attempt to make. That query was ignored.

@goran.celion you need to take just a few seconds to have a look at the tutorial movies on the web page on the Extension Warehouse.

You may transfer the axis and it’ll alter the axis of the bend, nevertheless it nonetheless must be on the pink international.

It’s not in regards to the part’s native axes.
It’s in regards to the pink axis one stage up.

Thanks a lot.

Sorry for not awering the kind of gear wheel. I merely didn’t perceive what “varieties” there are to select from :frowning
However now I’m glad. Thanks once more all you guys

You may see right here how transferring the pink axis again will change the radius of the bend.
Backside pink is on the entrance edge, subsequent center, prime again edge.
However for predictable bends they should align to the pink international.
You are able to do that with one thing that has a unique axis by merely including an edge and making a bunch to bend, then explode and delete the additional edge.

In all probability not value going into because you’re glad with what you could have however, does the gear should do one thing? Are you 3D printing the gear mannequin?

No printing. Solely making an attempt to utilize MsPhyics later

OK. So it doesn’t have to appear to be an actual gear. If it did there are simpler methods to mannequin them.

I hope you understand MsPsyics doesn’t work in any model after 2017.

You need to grant @Field the “Answer” badge, not me. That was only a comment about axes
