Hi, I’m an architect and 3D designer, and I use AutoCAD regularly for technical drawings and 3D work. I’d like to review your mechanical part and help you convert it to STL for printing. I can check the model’s scale, confirm that the geometry forms a closed solid and inspect the exported mesh for gaps or other issues that could affect slicing. I can do this using Sketchup, where I’ve modeled several STL parts for printing. Please send me the DWG along with the intended finished dimensions. Once I’ve checked the file, I can confirm the price and turnaround. Please send me a message on chat and let’s take it from there. Christian

Hello, I have extensive experience designing articulated 3D-printable models, print-in-place joints, snap-fit mechanisms, and durable FDM components where repeated movement and handling are critical. I’ve worked with organic forms, anatomical references, mesh cleanup, joint clearances, motion stops, and batch-print optimization while preserving realistic proportions. I’ll adapt a commercially licensed snow crab scan into the required butchered section, then develop the two base joints as controlled rotating pivots with fixed clearance, anatomical motion stops, and reinforced joint geometry. The joint test print will be validated first, followed by the detailed body, legs, claw, mirrored version, print orientation, and final manifold STLs with concise print settings and license documentation.
