WHAT DO I DO WITH THAT FILE I DOWNLOADED FROM THINGIVERSE?
Create an account.
Find an object you'd like to print. (I recommend the customized pen on my website - but it's your choice)
Download the file.
Open that file in Makerware.
If it asks to move the object to the platform, move it to the platform.
Scale that object to the desired size, if needed.
Press the make button.
Check the fill amount, this tells you how much your object will be filled. I usually do 5% to save time.
Make sure "raft" is checked;
Check the preview checkbox - this will allow you to see how long your object will take.
Make the object and save the file to the desired location.
