Solidworks export for 3D printing
Hi Chris , I'd started printing the robot with PETG. I'm using a Creality CR-10 Max which which allows printing all the split pieces in one shot (J1 base plate, J2 Arm and J6 housing). I need to export these parts from Solidworks. My question is how do I resize / export them from the Solidworks CAD model for shrink so they match the STL's provided that are already resized for shrink ?

The main difference in the resized for shrink is that the bearing journals I made approx .2mm larger for a good fit. You may not need to do this with PETG - I had size issues using ABS so I made a version of print files with slightly larger bearing journals.
