Great CAD work . . . a man after my own 3D heart! LOL
It's not been too large so far. The STL binary format seems to help keep the sizes mostly small, but you are correct that once I apply the texture, it might be a slightly different story. Still working on that, what I thought was going to work isn't going to be the answer now sadly.
