i also need to make it hollow, which is no problem though

I could do this in .3 seconds in my CAD than polymodeling it

What does your attempt look like? Show me your attempt and then I'll tell you

i did this by eye so it's not perfect, kinda looks ok but still i would like to know if there is a more "elegant" way to do it, this took me like around an hour

it looks like shit

You create a cylinder that is a division of 6 (18 is fine) then you select every 6th edge and rotate it to meet the corner of the hex, then you select every other 6th edge and rotate it the other way

You showed me yours I'll show you mine. I don't know what you're going to do with your models but you have a lot of vertices at this stage.
First you want to connect two cylinders with one cylinder being hexagonal. When you're connecting two things it really helps if they have the same number of vertices so the round cylinder has 12 vertices and the hexagonal also has 12.
Then subdivision, 3 segment bevels to retain the edges and raise the middle of the hexagons.
Tell me if that makes sense.

faggot i already got it now, im out of the thread

This, NURBS this shit is trivial and exact. Polygons who knows.

>CADfags say they can do it in seconds
>polychads actually make it

I would do this with Boolean modifiers.
Start with a 6 sided hexagonal cylinder then make a bigger hollow smooth cylinder and use it to cut the top part out.

polytroons spend 400 hours modeling and sweating over topology

ChADs precisely model down to millimetres with perfect shapes, use topology software to get perfect computer triangulation in 5 seconds and spend 5 minutes cleaning little things up manually in blender

good on you, that's a fucked up looking screwdriver bit though

If you want accuracy you useprotractor, protractor, and radius gauges.
