Just a test torus stretched in blender which I printed and enjoy so thought I'd share.

 

Technique:

  • Make low-poly torus
  • Cut square patch of vertices out of it
  • Select and scale that patch with linear fall-off 
    • to achieve feasible print ramp (~60% w/ bridge at tip)
    • to match your target shape (here a test rectangle-ish thing)

Useful to patch into other models, or demonstrate to friends how print in place joints work with a tiny keepsake (size of dime).
