    Hah, I've been using Blender for a couple of years now for designing my own stuff. I just used the site in question to quick fix models from Thingiverse that had issues (and posted the change-for-the-worse on that site here). Thanks for the input though.

    Makeprintable is somewhat of a joke. If it'd simply fix the darn file, it'd be fine, but... first it analyses, then it checks repair issues, then it triangulates, then it "adds some magic" and usually just stays there more or less forever doing whatever until I finally give up and shut down the page.....
