T-hook: prosthetic design for 3D printing

Step 4: Use blender - check size and clean up

The process of taking a part from a design to a print are here:  http://wiki.makerbot.com/how-to-print  As far as I can tell, this is the best place to start.

What I have here are pretty much notes to myself.

Next I opened the STL in Blender.

I've had some trouble telling what scale I am in using openSCAD.  So I imported the STL we just generated along with an STL of a know size.  I used a 3cm snowflake from thingiverse(attribution).

My first scale was way, way off.  The finger was so big blender seemed to be having trouble displaying it.

Luckily in openSCAD rescalling is easy.  [descripion ]

Next - Makerbot recomends deleting multiple vertices
                                       Tab-> A-> mesh ->delete multiple vertices        [check]

Now we can export another cleaned up version of the STL.
