I'm trying to design a #3dprint rounded piece to reinforce my headphone plastic that cracked. It's harder than I'd hoped to get this right. I was planning on designing it from a circle but the curves are not lining up.
Anyone have any tips for designing irregular shapes in #freecad or #tinkercad?

@Cyrill @chrishuck I didn't realize this was an option. This looks very helpful. Thanks
