Was Solidworks just not playing nicely with them? Give me a shout if there's anything I can provide to help, I keep most of the files with me on Google Drive, so should have ready access to whatever you need.

me-shell is off converting the model to a .stl for printing atm. With regards to vector files, Solidworks does not do well with them. However, many design programs let you export images as a .dxf or a .dwg. Can you get either of those formats? It would speed things up.

I certainly can - both of those are options for Export in Illustrator, just give me a heads up about which designs you'd like.

The ones the community selects. =P
