Create a path for a lid plug

Hi every one. i’m new in blender and i want to make this (see image) but i don’t know to make it properly for 3d print.

This are step i done to achieve this:

  • select circle from top main mesh and separe it
  • delete all vertex from separed mesh (i keep just one for screw profil)
  • apply screw modifier

But the shape doesn’t attach correctly to the model.

Welcome to BA :slight_smile:

I would select both, press Ctrl J to join, press Ctrl A and choose All Transforms, and add a remesh modifier. You’ll need to turn the voxel size down to maintain your structure.

Actually what I would personally do is retopologize your structure by hand, that’s going to take a lot longer if you’re not practiced, so that’s a last case option here :slight_smile:

Thanks for your answer.
I try the steps you advice me.
Here is the result of remesh modifier with “voxel at 0.01cm”

When i continue to dicrease voxel value my laptop crash.

Does i need to remesh mesh?

You don’t need to remesh, but if you want your shape to be “attached” to the model, you do. It really depends on what you’re going for. You could always try scaling down the screw threads so it looks like they’re part of the underlying geometry :slight_smile:

I would personally start with the spout, and create that out of a BOLT from the included extra objects…(you have to activate it ) …delete the head and bottom faces the extrude the inner ring down through the screw portion…then model out the lower bottle shape…and make sure that the bottle is Manifold ( would hold water and not leak) you can activate the 3d print tools ( included ) to check your mesh…

PS…If you model out a NUT using the same parameters of the BOLT…you can use the inner threads to model out a lid…

Ok I’ll try it.
I want to make two part of an object (funnel):

First (the big) is a main body and second part can be attach to the main body for various purpose

if i print each with different size i will waste a lot of filament:
