I want to duplicate an ocarina and stick them together and move and connect the two ocarina’s together with a centralized mouthpiece. Can I pay somebody to make a file for me to print at home? Thanks!

    The proper way to model is with sketches this involves mapping out 2D geometry on a plane and then performing operations on these sketches to make them into a 3D object.

    All of our printers are pretty slow. That is not the issue. I do lots of unit tests where I print isolated sections of a print just to test whatever I need. Based on my intuition alone, I would need a couple of weeks to make something like this and I would probably need at least 3-4 iterations of a design where I’m printing the whole thing and doing tests, learning, and then starting over from scratch if I wanted to make something that really works.

        If the surface is symmetrical on the other side that I cannot see. Make a duplicate, invert it and place it over the surface.

        If you need help, save it as a STEP file and I’ll do it for you. STEP is text so you should be able to use something like pastebin.
