    With parts that small I'd make the spacer and the centre of the rotor a solid piece and drill them out afterwards

    I use FreeCad to do my modelling.

    But you will need a second software, Ultmaker.
    This translates the STL model into a file format your 3D printer will understand.

    Both these softwares are free2download and use.

    Cheers for the advice. I don't have alot of time to mess around with designing too but I'll see what I can do.

    Doing some printing. Just mucking around mostly. But I did a test of a weapon upgrade for WFC Ratbat, and cannons for Rotorstorm. So many things I've tagged as wanting to try out. Need some fine and small files to clean up the prints

    What material did you print with?

    I had no idea until I looked at the boxes of filament my dad gave me hahah, but PLA. The guns so far came out well I reckon. Just needs some cleaning up and sanding and painting. Was only testing but might actually run with these as his weapons.
