Hint: Note that to design new versions of the 3D printer, you want to use small, simple files. We have ones ~20k for each axis.

• Note that D3D_Part_Library#Assembly_Index contains the simplified assemblies. These are to be used any time that a new version of the 3D printer is to be designed from scratch.
• Simplified axis files - X, Y, Z - the smallest ones today are also used on the D3D CNC Circuit Mill
• D3D Integration has files that are on the order of 5MB and 1MB for each axis. Still too large for prototyping.
