Hello, I'm printing a drawer system from thingiverse and everything is going well except for the hanger piece. I'm trying to create my own by loading the "hive module" and removing all but 2 edges and adding some tabs on it. The existing hanger seems to be incorrect and doesn't fit with the other pieces.
When I try and import the stl into Tinkercad it processes for a long while and then eventually nothing is imported and there are no errors. I tried FreeCad and watched some DrVax intros. FreeCad will import the file, but to work with the imported shape, other videos suggested to "Create Shape from Mesh" in the Part menu. When I try this, FreeCad just goes into a processing state forever. I've let it run for quite a while - 10 to 15 minutes and it doesn't come back.
The thingiverse project is located here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1743145
and the stl I'm trying to modify is the "HIVE_Module_V5". Basically, I wanted to reduce this to just 2 edges of this shape, reduce the height of it to a few mm, and add two tabs to it so it was similar to the hanger piece.
Thanks for any help!
