If you succeed you can reward yourself with a bottle of Glenfiddich (that's a miniature BTW!) You can download the STL file here. Neil

857 forum posts 45 photos	I ask, as I have been a 2 hours into a print, only to hear a strange noise, as it drags a lump of filament around the part...... Its a "Fisher Delta" printer. I got at the show at Warwick. Its been a steep learning curve..... What are you using to create the files for printing? I'm using Fusion 360 and Slic3r Jim

19226 forum posts 749 photos 86 articles	It should be a fairly safe print as the base is big and the walls area reasonable thickness, not much to come adrift as long as it can bridge a ~17mm gap. I'm designing in Turbocad. The 3D40 come with two 'preparation' programs the one I've been using is Autodesk Studio which takes an STL and outputs a 3Gdrem file which the printer prints.
