Thanks for the files though. If we had a 3D printer, we would print this. Very useful for consideration of distances, etc.
I wasn't the member working with Solidworks at the time, but I was told that it was either when we tried to export to .stl or when we imported to MakerWare that we were given a "Mesh is Damaged" error.

I was working with trying to import the files into Inventor (our team's primary CADing software). I don't believe we ever tried Blender at any point though, but I know that every .x_l or .sat we tried to import to Inventor was either unrepairable or dimensionless.

Still, these should serve as workable, dimensioned Inventor files, and I'll update the dropbox if we're able to import the more official ones.
