In this case, I used 75°.</li> <li>The wall thickness is 3 mm, and the print feels strong enough for heavy items.</li> <li>Use the <code>Revolve</code> feature to make the cup.</li> <li>Use the <code>Circular Pattern</code> feature to create the hexagon pattern around the cup.</li> </ul> <p><img src="https://plicatim.com/post/basket/sketch1.png" width="800" height="669" srcset="https://plicatim.com/post/basket/sketch1_hu_5f4c4060ba690a79.png 480w, https://plicatim.com/post/basket/sketch1_hu_f6dac8cf1f55218b.png 1024w" loading="lazy" alt="Fusion sketch of hexagonal pattern" class="gallery-image" data-flex-grow="119" data-flex-basis="286px" > <div class="video-wrapper"> <video controls src="basket_hexagon_fusion.mov" > <p> Your browser doesn't support HTML5 video.
