    Opened the source files last night in solid works.
    I could see and rotate it but the image of the shell was not able to be manipulated.
    Using version 2012. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    The file format isn't really conducive to being manipulated, as it's more of a point cloud type of file (as used by most 3D printers).

    Darn... Does anyone have a 3d file of the drive system (trays, cone, motor, etc)?.. it would save a ton of time instead of measuring and reverse engineering it to get something accurate
    I have an idea and was going to mess around with it ...just didn't want to put a shit ton of time in it for just experimenting.

    I have some really rough ones, but I dint think they're good enough to design off of, just as stand-ins for sizing things.

    I'm trying to print this using Makerbot, but for some reason the files can't be opened. I keep getting an error message that says "This file can not be uploaded. It may be an unsupported file." Can anyone help?

    You've extracted the file from the .zip and saved it outside before you try uploading it to your software?

    It's an .stl file.

    Glad you got it sorted. Good luck. Build the battery door on it's side to make it as strong as possible
