I've seen the files you've designed and modified and printed, I'd consider you to be skilled in that area.  It sounds like you must be working on something that is causing you challenges Nomad, what is it?

hey justinratliff

im working on this pib robot neck . its to high and i want it to lower by 4 cm . problem is there are holes and attachments i need that i cant remove . i cant upload to TC . the midsection has to cut and my skills are not that good .

this is the file . A50-Neck_housing.stl

this is the robot .

Wow nomad! Looks like you have several fun projects going on! That’s exciting to see. Hope to see some updates soon. I’m looking forward to your progress

hi dj

yes this robot is for a friend of mine . i just finiched the left sidedoor under the arm .

hi

if anyone can slice the file in two files horizontal i can work on it in tc .

thanks

Hi Nomad, Did you try scaling it in the z axis so it is not so tall? I can help you. What holes need to stay where they are?

hi perry_s

thank you for helping . the top and bottem holes needs to stay .also the top inside sliders needs to stay . so only lowering by 4 cm . if i scale down the part the holes change , they are not round then .
