Problem: stl files are solid we need to remove 'walls' leaving a frame Solution: stl file of triangular frames with thickness Alternatives: - Additional context: this is for the purpose of 3d printing in metal so needs to have enough thickness to be functional but not too much to be bulky (as thin as possible please)
