| cannot thicken surface to print [message #41035] Mon, 02 January 2012 04:08 UTC |

hello,
I've been having problems getting a 3D object to print economically.
I essentialy have a surface made of 3D faces, I want to thicken it to the minimum 0.13" so I can print it, but I cannot get this to work.
If I turn the 3D faces into a surface, it will not allow me to thicken it due to self intersecting faces.
I can extrude the faces and create a solid, but that is much too much material to print.
I simply need a 0.13" thick 3D object of the surface.
I have added 3 images for reference.
Any suggestions or help would be great. I can turn this into any type of object if needed.
Thanks
