alt Hacker NewsChamfers and Fillets are my next major undertaking. Don't expect them any time soon, but they've moved to the top of my list. They are extremely difficult to do in the general case - so we will not cover all cases. Several years ago I tried an experiment:
https://github.com/solvespace/solvespace/issues/453#issuecom...
That could only do the top or bottom of a straight extrusion. This time will be a more general than that. Not looking forward to doing corners where 3 fillets meet ;-)

Oh, sorry, I didn't recognize that this had been posted by a SolveSpace maintainer! Rad. I am glad to hear the project is still moving.
I also appreciate the difficulty of generalizing chamfers/fillets. There's a reason that basically all FOSS CAD packages have struggled with it.
Hi! Thanks for your hard work! I just want you to know it's definitely worth it!
I am using SolveSpace for my 3D prints because I just don't have time to learn anything else. With SolveSpace I've been productive in like 2 hours after launching it the first time.
So far you've saved me like $500 in things I've printed instead of bought. Just last week I've printed nasal manifold for my DIY sleep monitoring setup. Replacement specs legs a month ago.
If you really make fillets and chamfers a reality, please don't forget to open donations.
