If you only want to print the apparatus, you only need the following files provided in the STL folder.
Base.UpperPart.stl
BaseLowerPart.stl
Frame.STL.zip(1)
FrameCutLong.stl
FrameCutShort.stl
TwoFramePartsToPrint.stl(2)
(1) The physical dimensions of Frame.STL exceed the capacity of most low-end printers.
(2) For the Lulzbolt printer, you can use TwoFramePartsToPrint.stl, which breaks Frame.STL into two parts and arranges them into a compact configuration.
(*) For the MakerBot printer, there is a different solution "in the works". News soon.
Load them into a program such as Cura (free), which will produce a “G-code” file for your particular 3D printer.
The source files ( .SLDPRT and .SLDASM ) are proprietary formats for the SolidWorks software suite. If you do not have a SolidWorks license ( it is not free ), you can open these files with the free program eDrawings. This program allows you to view them, and export them as STL files.
