Blender 3D Printing by Example

Creating and laying out a torus

With this project, you have made a custom-shaped mesh from a Bezier curve. Blender also has a library of standard meshes you can use to build your model. One such standard mesh is the torus which adds a donut-shaped object to your project. The torus is the perfect shape to add a little hook to our pendant.

When you create a torus, Blender gives you additional properties to determine the size. Two properties of note are:

• Interior Radius: This is the measurement from the center of the torus hole, to the inside of the ring around the hole
• Exterior Radius: This is the measurement from the center of the torus hole to the outside of the ring:
