Thanks again to Michael for the help. This this is pretty good - would've liked the fillet to be .625 but .25 will have to do. - can always use a 3/8" roundover bit on it. :)

Hi Neil,
try these reworked curves to get the larger fillet.

Thanks Barry - what exactly did you do? The shape looked about the same. Was able to get this one to .4 roundover which is pretty close.

Hi Neil,
I reworked the areas shown in the photo.
I moved your arm cut over slightly as the thickness from front to back was to thin for a 0.25 fillet top and 0.625 fillet back.
Also the neck cut out curve had a sharp corner where it should have blended and gave a strange result when Boolean difference was applied.
This was the order I filleted.
1) Fillet back 0.625 but not the top edge.
2) Fillet top 0.25 again not top edge.
3) Boolean difference neck cut out.
4) Fillet top edge 0.2
Attached is the result.
Hope this helps
Barry

Where am I going wrong on this - can't fillet any more than .125" - what is the trick? I'd like to do between .25" and .375"

Thanks for the help!

Hi Neil,
your model will fillet at .25/.30 if you do the fillets before you Boolean the neck pocket.
The neck pocket as it is causes a slight sliver so by slightly moving or adjusting width will improve it.
Barry

Why can't I do that? Hmm. Well you always save the day Barry - thanks! Can you help with this body as well? I'm having the same problem with it. I can' get the fillet anymore than .1" before or after the pockets and contours.

Hi Neil,
Just tried your last post and it fillets 0.2 on the top any bigger and it runs into a pocket.
Did exactly the same as my previous post separated the solid, untrimmed the top and side to remove neck pocket.
Re trimmed side with belly cut out and joined to form a solid, applied fillets top and bottom and to finish Boolean the neck pocket.
Hope this helps.
Barry
Ps: your body profile right side neck curve isn't smooth?

Here is the last body Barry helped me with after milling . . . vert happy with the contours. Hard to see the arm contour in this shot but it's perfect. I too am looking forward to version 4 with dimensioning.

Nice job. I have several acoustic guitars but never did buy an electric. How much do those sell for?
