Hello everyone!
I have some questions for you, first how have you modified the stl files to be able to print on a home printer? What is the program used to print these files? CURA?
I have tried to modify to print these files on my printer that has a 19x19cm base
Thank you best regards.

Cura in my opinion isn’t very user friendly when you want to cut models.
I use Slic3r, I scale the model to the size I want & save the stl, then I cut the model using the cut function into printable chunks, saving the stl at each stage with a different name.
If you make a mistake just revert to the previous stl.
Then I open each stl in Cura & generate the gcode from there.
Hope that makes sense??
Cheers
Wayne

I used Meshlab, but otherwise did the same thing.
