In this Blender tutorial, learn how to create a perfect 90-degree bend with evenly spaced pipe-like objects, perfect for crafting sci-fi models or replicating real-world items like pipe elbows. We start by creating a hexagonal cylinder mesh and use simple transformation tools to duplicate, rotate, and align our objects. By joining these objects into a single mesh, deleting unnecessary faces, and bridging edge loops, we achieve a clean, seamless 90-degree bend. This method ensures a smooth transition and is easy to tweak for various designs.

We address common issues, such as overlapping vertices and incorrect normal orientations, providing tips on how to troubleshoot and refine your work. To enhance the final look, we demonstrate how to use Blender’s smoothing and modifier tools, including beveling and subdivision surfaces, to give your object a polished, realistic appearance. Whether you’re designing a digital Allen key or any other pipe-based object, these steps will help you achieve professional-quality results with ease.
