Find your user.cfg and system.cfg files : Macro_findConfigFiles

Imperial system makes no sense, go metric ! ! !

I downloaded a model that I believe was intended to be a 3D printed movable figure. I setup constraints using A2Plus workbench to tie the pieces together and can change the angles.

Would it be possible to upload the file to a hoster where no registration is necessary?

A suggestion: Make human
Last time I used it I had to utilize Blender to scale the model and reduce the node count. A bit fiddly, but worked for my purpose.
