    Hello all, is this set up to be printed in sections? I am getting ready to invest in a printer and was wondering what footprint size was necessary.
    Thank you,
    Harry

    @HorribleHarry : The STL files in this zip archive aren't broken up into convenient sized sections, yet. I've been thinking about how to do that for a while now.
    @GregMcFadden : How do you feel about derivatives of this design? There isn't a license spelled out.

    Do as you wish. If I didnt put steps in the zip let me know and I will add them, much easier to mod

    It's only .stl files, ATM. If you wouldn't mind adding in the .step files, that'd be handy : )

    So how detailed is this structure going to be if I do it in a 1/144 scale

    It doesn't have AA guns or water tight doors but, it's the best starting point that I've found.

    Cura but I guessing I gotta do another step and change the STL to a gcode? In order for it to load on my SD card?... for it to be seen on my printer...... also while I’m at it what is the formula for knowing what scale to convert to I’m doing everything in 1/144 and I think some of these prints are in the 1/96

    yes, your printer can only read g-code, it cant be stl, also 66.67% of 1/96 scale is 1/144 im prety sure, someone correct me if im wrong.
