For basic things like model checking, I'd recommend NetFabb model checker[0] and/or uploading the file to Shapeways[1]. The first will try to do basic model checking and close any holes it finds. Shapeways uploading process will go into much more detail, trying to find areas that might be too thin for the printer to print, or too close together... Also, I long for the day where other 3D printing technologies reach the general public. FDM (the process all makerbots and clones use) is fine, but the quality is not as goood as it could be and things like support material are a necessity when doing complex pieces. BTW, just in case anyone needs this, a great program to convert a 3D model to gcode is Cura[2]. [0] https://netfabb.azurewebsites.net/
