facets instead of circle | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Greg2OGR Forum Member

Recent print (~~2" dia) came out with facets, maybe 24 or so, instead of a more close representation of a circle. I couldn't find a button in either Tinkercad or Cura to increase the number of them. Any clues about where it is?

Look in the tinkercad library for “perfectly round cylinder” or something similar. It’s a custom file that somebody made with so many facets you can’t tell.

Here are a couple of references on using TinkerCad to create a smooth circle....

In TinkerCad you can set the number of sides... as below, 64 sides.

You can try these... where there are already 256 sides...
