I'm thinking of opening a "Fix my damn STL " website

I attach 2 stls - both fixed - one hollow with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm which saves you money. (you can scale it to a larger size)


Cheers

Dizingof,

Thank you so much for the help. If you don't mind, I have a few questions (which should limit the need for this in the future). You say you fixed the STL - what was wrong? May I ask what method you used to hollow the model?

I have been pleased with Blender's "solidify" modifier, but I have found hollowing complex models like this incredibly difficult. I considered hollowing this, but chose not to due to the risk of being too fragile at the miniature size. My dancer is a bit fragile at the ankle, and that part is not hollow at all.
