3D Printing Projects

Taking a look at the new emboss feature recently added to Fusion 360. It's pretty boss! I made some examples of applying circular and rectangular patterns to embosses. Can we apply an emboss to a surface that has been embossed? Some limitations with self-intersecting and how to do tapered knurling.
