When I was doing step 4 I cut trough the sides of the rod, so I had to change the cut extrude of the part (part 1 step 13 of your tutorial) Don't know if that's supposed to be the way :)
Yep me too, I just rolled back to the cut-extrude in which we made that indent and changed the value from 4mm to 3.25mm; don't use a value of 3.5mm though because that will give you a 0 radius.
Hello Cullen Williams,
Its better to use smaller cut-extrude value like 2 or 2.5mm...
Awesome tutorial mate :D
But one small problem:
After Step 4, I'm getting an open line through the length of the connecting rod like seen in the following picture.Is it possible that in the Step 13 in Part 1, the Cut-Extrude was less than 4mm?
Or am I doing something wrong.Appreciate any help. Thanks :)
I've had the same issue. I just reduced the cut-extrude value in step 13 part 1 to a value that solve the issue (2.5 mm for example).
Hello Alex Perukarote,
Just reduce the cut-extrude value in step 13 of part 1 as Loïc Varnier told....I used the value 2 mm and it looked good
