Oh man, this sounds like its going to be a pain in the butt. I'm going to have to look up some of what you're talking about. I think to make it easy on myself, I'll focus on getting each piece of the object into it's own file and saved as an STL, since each piece fits into one another anyways. Then if each piece is in it's own file there shouldn't be any problem of it being out of the boundary line. I probably should have started with a simple design for my first model print job, but like I said, I've wanted to do this for so long just to see if it was a good idea or a flop. More than likely a flop, but only producing it and getting it out there will let me know. You're a really cool person, it's too bad that we're not neighbors, but hey at least we've got this.

I've got the Ender 3 Pro and I'm using the Autodesk Fusion 360 program. Like I said, I have it all drawn up in the program, now I'm just trying to figure out how to copy and paste each piece into it's own file, like one of your suggestions mentioned. This thing is taxing. I think the design that I made was too big to be put into one file for the printer to handle. That's why I'm going, I should say trying to copy and paste each piece into it's own file, its not working though bc when I copy from the original file it doesn't let me paste into the blank new file. Do you know of a way to copy and paste in the Autodesk program? When I do it, I can see the normal copy and paste highlighting in the browser, it's just nothing happens in the program. That's super nice of you to take a look at it for me and I am most appreciative of that, but I set a goal for myself to try and get a patent on this, haha, stupid achievement, I know but it's still a goal I set for myself and my wife heard me say it, so now I need to do it. Man, how did you figure all of this stuff out? And keep your sanity while doing it. I watch the videos on youtube and go through the process as they do but mine doesn't turn out the same. Yeah I'll definitely try the downloading of what you sent and putting it into my printer. I appreciate that. I know what I want to make is kind of dumb, but I've been thinking about it since I was in high school and there's only one way to find out if it's any good, right?

Thank you so much! You've helped me more than you know. I really appreciate it. What should I do about "-Are assigned to an enabled extruder"? You've helped more than you know, so if I don't get an answer no big deal.

I bought the Ender Creality 3 Pro printer and I'm attempting my first print. It's not going so smoothly for me, in the ultimaker cura app I'm getting 3 error msgs so I can't even save my file to take it out to the printer. This has been a long process to get to this point, I'd really appreciate any help I can get from this community. The error msgs that I'm getting are: -Fit within the build volume -Are assigned to an enabled extruder -Are not all set as modifier meshes I don't know what all of these mean and I don't know what I have to do to make it work. Any help would be appreciated. What would be the best thing for me to do? Thank you in advance
