Default Re: "Nazca" - Waterblock Concept

So I shouldn't worry about making so many individual channels and concentrate on the center more? I'll try to simplify the design some more and the remaining channels could simply be branched off from the main channels. I think I've figured out a way to have the nozzles a simple set of vertical countersunk drilled holes.

It's very simple, but can be confusing if you've never done extrusion modelling before. You simply sketch a shape on one of the planes then select one of the options on the left-side tool bar to extrude the sketch in a require way. For cylindrical shapes you have to end the sketch on the axis you plan to rotate it around, so for example you would draw a half cross-section of the piece you want to make then it would rotate that sketch around the axis you end the drawing on.
