Do I complete the bed mesh before/after M671in the "bed" file?

A ZIP file was NOT too large but wouldn't upload with a ZIP extension. Don't know why.
Zip files are generally prohibited because their contents could be anything, so for security reasons they aren't allowed, but I think even that thinking is a bit outdated. I'll see about getting zip files added to the forum.
As you found, changing the extension is enough to fool the system.

Sorry for violating the rules. But since the system doesn't actually seem to care if it is a ZIP file I think the security is a bit weak.
If you get a chance to try and load that STP file into your CAD program I would be interested to hear the results.
Thanks.

Exactly my point.

Will try loading it up in fusion.

@fcwilt Thanks the STEP files works. I will have to inspect it closer a little later.

That's good to know.
At least I don't have to export each individual object - wasn't looking forward to that.

If you want the complete model with all the bits I deleted just let me know.

Yes that would have been prohibitive. All of the individual bodies have been retained, so it should be fairly easy to work with.
I'm not sure I would go through with a full markforged conversion, but the Z axis definitely interests me.

Then I should give you the file with all the bits but even zipped it is too big.
Do you have some place I can send the file to?

@fcwilt If it's too big to upload here it's probably too big for email. Can you put it on dropbox or google drive and share a link?

I've not done this before so let me know if it doesn't work.
