      Please go back and read my first reply to you. I didn't say I used Follow Me. I used Eneroth Upright Extruder to extrude the profile.

        You good sir are correct.

        I used an upright extruder and by golly, it seemed to work, lots of patching mesh but in the end it went solid.

        Now i'm printing it so we'll see if it works.

        Thank you for the assistance.

                    Good to know, I'll have to give that a shot next and see what happens.

                        What a strange thing to do. Probably 100 or more STLs on Thingiverse when one openscad for each external shape would do it if it's written with variables as it should be. In fact one openscad with the shapes commented out and you are where you need to be.

                        Even then it seems a bit pointless because surely anyone that prints things with any of these 3d printer has done this for themselves at some point.

                        Still I suppose you have to keep up the thingverse tradition of posting what you did even though no one else can see a use for it.
