I am having trouble to replicate those fillets, on the original part it actually looks like the cut was made after the bends...
How would you make it?

How to make it depends on its use. It it needs to mate up to another part very precisely, then you may have to cut it post bending as that surface would not be normal. If you don't have that requirements, then a side cut with "Normal Cut" checked is the way to go.
Cut from side, Normal Cut selected

Re: Fillet on Sheet Metal Bend
Update: Checking the Normal Cut on the Extruded Cut makes a better result, maybe I need to reposition the fillets
Re: Fillet on Sheet Metal Bend
Have you tried a normal cut without the fillets, and then unfolding the part and adding the fillets afterward? I haven't tried it to know for sure it would work, but it just might give you a better-looking blank.

Yep, but it gets suppressed when folded back lol
Also adding the Fillet Feature on sheet metal seems to be a bad practice, perhaps even on the Sketches...
Anyway, thanks for the reply
That worked, thanks. Will keep in mind to split into more featuresjcapriotti wrote: ↑Wed Mar 30, 2022 8:01 am How to make it depends on its use.
