Deformation of a volume on a rounded body

[Sylk]

There is another concern for the molding of your egg.

The pattern must be extruded in the direction of demolding, so you must specify your Axis2 as the opening direction in the winding properties:

Not good:

Ok:

Hi @sbadenis
That's kind of why I posted my egg, to erase the clumsiness of modeling and give it a clean base on which it just has to make a roll. But I agree with the principle that you have to learn good habits anyway.

PS: on the other hand it's fun to be able to make a tree with it

I corrected, thank you all

Well done Sylk for the demolding direction

thank you again

Hello @criss

@criss

I'm now going to do the convex part, the bump to make a hollow egg

Is this part to make the hollow also on a cylinder, or on a flat " carpet "?
How thick of shell should the molded egg be?
What spacing between the 2 molds? (the thickness of the sheet at the exit of the press)

Hello

There is a synchronization of the 2 rollers to make half hollow eggs, the dough passes between the 2 cylinders and comes out of the half hollow shell
