Shell operation on complex solids.

[JuanFederico]

Hello

I've been trying to do the shell for the water cooling all the day. I've tried with the shell tool, but it seems very complex solid and it seems impossible to not get errors. I am also trying drawing another solid and a subtract operation, but it is not the way.

So expending some time I can do it but not in the correct way. And I would like to understand what is the right way to do it.

I attach some pictures

Yeah, there are probably too many radii that are probably becoming a negative radius. What I usually do one as a test and two as a solution. I do an offset surface and on all the faces or select few that don't fail and then build my surfaces to become a watertight surface, then you can use a "cut with surface" command or turn it to a solid and subtract it.

If you can attach the file I how you in better detail.
