The handle is now a part of the
Mug Final
object. If you switch to wireframe view
(
Z
) and change your views you will notice the parts of the handle that were inside
the mug aren't there. They are joined so that the whole shape is one continuous shell
without hidden vertices inside the shape. This is a best practice for making objects
for 3D printing. Remember to save.
Flattening the bottom
The bottom of the mug, while flatter than before, is not perfectly flat and is therefore
not suitable for printing yet. However, there is a way to use the scale operator in
Edit
Mode
to make a flat bottom, by carrying out the following steps:
1.
Jump to the front view (
Numpad 1
).
2.
Enter
Edit mode
(
Tab
).
3.
Clear the selection (
A
).
