Hi Tony, Welcome to the forum. Always good to have new members, and as @mvdveer says everyone is happy to help. What drew you to Vorons/this forum?

Hi All

Can anyone help me to get cad files from gibhub so I can us them in Solid works. 

[claudermilk]

On a file-by-file basis, just open the stl file. You will get a 3D preview of the file and in the upper right corner is a download button. If you want to grab a bunch of files at once, go to the directory level you want and in the upper right corner is a "..." button to get a context menu, you will have a Download Directory option; click that and Github will send you a zip of all the files within the directory (retaining any subdirectory structure within).

Thanks

@claudermilk Always thought that but this is what I get, thus have just been downloading individual files. Can you imagine if I clicked that and it actually deleted the directory - wouldn't be very popular would I. Thought it strange that that option was there.

Hmm... I may have some plugin installed to do that that I forgot about.

Aha, I found what I use: https://github.com/download-directory/download-directory.github.io by way of https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github

Thank you for this - much appreciated.

There's a ZIP file with STEP files for the Voron ( I assume it's a 2.4). Just download, unzip and open in SolidWorks. Or, like others have stated, you can just use STL's if all you want to do is print them. The CAD assembly does help as a reference when building though.
