mm to create a 3D shape.
To finish the example in this chapter, the nubs that were cut off had to be added
to the virtual model, so the cubes were added, then the
Boolean
modifier was be
used to union them into the shape. The top of the cubes lined up with the bottom
of the guide hole, and stood out about 8 mm from the flat surface. The holes were
not reproduced in the copy since their presence was likely to reduce plastic usage
in the injection molding process, not as much a problem for 3D printing with infill.
Originally, the part was held on with wood staples but if necessary mounting holes
can be drilled into the printed part to use screws.
