Hi, I´m a 3d artist with more than 15 year experience in modeling. I worked for 4 years in a 3d model bank where I created ships, cars, planes, bikes, tanks, and many other objects. I know 3d printer requirements and I would like to help You in this project. My only problem is I work with 3d Max because I think this program allows a deeper and easier access to points, normals, edges, double faces,etc.
Of course I would be able to open and export a Maya file if You need but my work tool is 3d Max and the final STL file would be exported from it.
Thanks for your time.
