Making a base for a model

[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

Apparently the math wasn’t quite right for the apex.

Adjusting that is left as an exercise for the reader.

To get a chamfer around the base see:

Using unsupported tooling in Carbide Create: Roundover / Cove / Radius bits

These are usually used in routers for decorative effects in wood: https://www.whitesiderouterbits.com/products/1570 but they are potentially useful for joinery: They are also useful for rounding off parts to allow rotary motion as for a hinged lid. Unfortunately, Carbide Create does not support this endmill geometry — but using the new support for previewing a V endmill when used in a No Offset Contour toolpath, it should be possible to preview them w/ confidence by stacking a series o…

A V endmill is a good approximation for now.

and of course, one will want a slight inset for the nameplate:
