[chbot] STL file vs 3D printer frustration..

[Chris Hellyar]

Thanks Peter, Will give that a bash tonight.

I'd not noticed that simply3D works with the Davinci either..

The standard software scores very highly on the 'Wife can use it' scale 
which is important for her craft stuff she makes with it. It's not so 
hot on features / functionality though.

She is a far better modeler than I am so her stuff actually looks cool 
when she's done as well, whereas I'm making purely functional stuff for 
Model aircraft etc.

Cheers, Chris H.
