Jason,
I imported your file into my old Solidworks program and opened it up ok. I have now started to modify the drawing to add all the missing detail!
Once finished I can save it as a stl so all good
Thanks again

If you have got Solidworks then you should be able to open this Solidworks Assemby file and extract the cylinder block which looks to be a better rendition of a casting.

Jason ,ok thanks!
I didn’t even look at the assembly! My version of Solidworks is very old and doesn’t open some of the later stuff I have found in the past . I’ll give it a try later today!
Regards
Mark

Jason, I can’t open the assembly , get a pop up saying file error so maybe my solidworks (2001) is too old

Cheers

the *.stp file is simply opened with FreeCad, then exported as an *.stl file after the addition of the wanted parts for your 3D slicer...

I tried downloading myself, unzipped the files & attempted to open the assembly file, the only SW file. I'm using SW-2024. But the popup message says missing numerous files. I clicked suppress all missing components but no assembly is showing up; blank screen. Am I missing a trick? PS the comments might be revealing. Or maybe there were copyright issues & he truncated it somehow?
