Question

opposite of Shell command

I want to basically make a 2mm thick "cap" for a head

I create a cube, then move the head part way into the cube.

then I Subtract the head from the cube -- leaving the cube that's inside fits perfectly onto the head.

Now I want the cube, with the inside the shape of the head, to be 2mm thick from the inside (shape of head) out. Thoughts?

Thanks

PS. I know how to Shell the inside of a part to be 2mm thick. I want to "shell" the outside of the part to be 2mm thick

You can easily change the direction of the shell thickness. But I think you want something different. Can you share a screenshot for better explanation?

I want a 2mm shell thickness, from the inside out. I want to keep the shape from the inside, with a 2mm wall.

Thanks for any suggestions!
