Downloading an STL File off of Thingiverse

This is the first print I made with a computer.  I downloaded the file off Thingiverse.  I chose this object because it is designed to overcome the proprietary filament cartridges designed for the XYZ printers.  I saw online that if you take an Arduino Mini, dump some code into it, one can reset the filament counter in the cartridge and save money on filament.  More information on this hack can be found at this site:  wctek.com/xyz
