I used makerware and a rep 2 to try to print this, and it was trying to print the car body in midair (one layer above the build platform, except for a small point at the front and back). I guess I need to manipulate the model? What did I do wrong?

Awesome model! I've got solidworks too and I'd love to modify it so its more printable on a hobby level printer (make the pins separate pieces).

Can you upload the solidworks source files? STLs are horrible to edit.

Typically, for maximum helpfulness, I upload 3 files:
A Source file (for those that have my program - solidworks in this case)
A Portable file (STEP or IGES, for those that don't have solidworks but want to edit it more easily
than an STL)
and an STL file, for those that just want to print it.

If you look at some of the stuff I've uploaded, and check how many times each file has been downloaded, you'll see that interest in each of the 3 file types is pretty even:

So people definite
ly appreciate the options!

Thanks! :)

This is an awesome print to do at really low layer heights.
