I have tried splitting the object to just make a cylinder to make the lid for, but just get this message. |
|
I found a way to do this. The problem is the rounded top edge of the cylinder/pot. If I split the top edge off of the cylinder, the Screw on Lid Tool works perfectly. I wonder if this can be fixed? |
|
So the problem is, when using the Revolve/Stroke tool, and selecting Round for the line ends, this makes a chamfer on the top rim of a pot or bowl. The Lid tool, when using only the Screw option does not like this rounded top edge. (Inside and Outside lids don't matter), Just by splitting this off the top of the pot, the Lid tool will recognize the whole object and make a tidy lid for it. Extra work, but doable. |

@3wheeltom thanks for trying the screw lid on your pottery, and for finding the way round it yourself; the pictures make it easy to see. @marcus040473 could you have a look at this one? If you enjoy using layerling, a small donation helps keep the project going. |
|
@3wheeltom the screw and bayonet lids now accept a rounded or chamfered rim, so no splitting is needed. It's in layerling 1.151.0. |

Thanks for the clear description, and for the workaround! I found the cause: the screw lid measures the pot a fraction of a millimetre below its top, and with round line ends that is right in the rounding, so to the lid the rim looked "not round". The bayonet lid had the same problem. In my test version (https://marcus040473.github.io/?editor=1) your rounded rim can now stay: Lid → Screw on puts the thread on the straight wall just below the rounding, and the cap reaches over the rim, its top resting on it. The same works with Bayonet and with chamfered rims. If the rounding is so large that too little straight wall is left for the thread, it tells you so; fewer turns or a smaller pitch help.
I'll send this to Stefan as a pull request. Let me know how it prints! |

@marcus040473 thanks for finding the cause and fixing it, I've merged it. @3wheeltom your rounded rim can stay now: Lid → Screw on (or Bayonet) puts the thread on the straight wall just below the rounding, and the cap reaches over the rim. It will be in the next layerling release; until then you can try it in Marcus's test version linked above. |

Thanks so much for fixing this issue. You folks are truly amazing!
I tried to make a donation through PayPay, but it won't accept my Discover
Card as payment in Europe. Must be something in the funds conversion to
Euro's. I use it everyday here in the USA.

@3wheeltom thank you, Tom, that is very kind, and thank you for wanting to support the project! The support page also has Ko-fi and GitHub Sponsors, which take a card directly without PayPal, so perhaps one of them works with your Discover card. And if not, no worries: your report and the workaround you found already helped. |

Hi Stefan,
I have another question. If it is inappropriate for me to ask you directly,
please let me know and I will go through the Github site.
Two things actually,
1. Is there a way to apply a rounded edge to the top of a lid that is being
printed top down? My work around now, is to apply a heavy Elephant's Foot
compensation over several layers via Orca. The Layerling chamfer tool says
there are too many Triangles and won't compute the formula.
2. Is there a way to increase the number of sides on a Sketch/Revolve
drawing, like there is on a common cylinder or other shape. Some of the
items I have drawn and printed show faceting when using the provided number
of sides in Revolve.
Kindest Regards, Tom Blackburn

@3wheeltom asking here is just right, Tom, and it helps others with the same question.
Both come with the next update. |
|
@3wheeltom both are out now in layerling 1.154.0. The lid window has Top edge for screw and bayonet caps (Rounded or Chamfer, with Edge size), and a revolved sketch body has Smoothness in its properties: Fine or Extra fine. If you still see 1.153.0, reload the page once. |

Fantastic! You're the greatest! Do you ever sleep?😁

1.
*A rounded top edge on a lid:* I tried it. A screw lid and its thread
are one mesh of about 29,000 triangles, and the edge tool stops at 4,000,
so it could not be done afterwards. So I've added it to the lid tool
itself: *Top edge* rounds or chamfers the top rim of a screw or
bayonet cap, at the size you set. As you print the lid top down, that edge
lies on the bed: a chamfer prints cleanly, and a rounding of 1 or 2 mm
prints fine too.
2.
*Facets on a revolve:* A revolved sketch was always cut into facets of
the same fineness. Now a revolved body has *Smoothness* in its
properties: a finer setting cuts the round faces into smaller facets, so
they no longer show on a print. Finer means more triangles and a slower
design, so I'd only raise it where you see facets.
Both come with the next update.

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
I like to make pottery using the Sketch/Revolve tool. Is there a way to make the lid function recognize an object made using Revolve for the new screw in/on lid
?
