In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

How can I flare the bottom of the long cylinder so it looks like the
gumball machine?

Another way of approaching this would be to trace the profile of the whole machine using a CV curve, then creating a surface via "revolve". You can output the revolve as polys or NURBS.

then in the surface options menu choose revolve option box, and edit>reset settings, then revolve. if it does not work properly, u can alway change the direction of the revolve and origin.
