Anybody converted the SLDPRT file to an .STL file for the cube jig?
I am a NEMO who does not have a CAD program, but with a 3D printer, eager to help my team.
TIA!

It’s a pretty decently-sized part, about 12" across IIRC. If you’re sure your printer can handle a part that size…

The jig also needs to be pretty exact with the weight, as the legs not touching the table when it’s set on top is what actually determines the pressure.
Never been a problem, I design plenty of 3D printed parts that can be bolted or CA glued together from smaller pieces. Came to this thread to see if it already exists, but if it doesn’t then I’ll go make one and post it here in a couple hours

Keep in mind that anyone involved in first can download the cad programs from autodesk (choose that you are a mentor when you create your autodesk account).

Also, Onshape can import Solidworks and export STL though I prefer 3mf

Good point. I think once we have a file, it can be split into components.
Good point, but weights can be added just by gluing/bolting on some spare parts/scrap.
This is kind of the opposite of “lightening holes”!
I create an STL for a multi-part jig which can fit onto smaller printers and be bolted together. Here are the parts:

And the printer layout:
My actual prints are halfway done:

You, sir or madam, are my hero!
I printed out your STL and it came out to 8.75 inches inside width, but the specs show 9.75 inside width.
Ugh, shoot sorry about that, let me fix the stl. Should just need to reprint the top part.
