Building a levelling jig

I've designed a leveling jig that will hold a dial indicator and level the table within a few thousands of an inch for some really awesome prints, but I need a copy of the X shaped mount in a .dxf format so I can edit it to fit leveling nuts to replace the stock ones.

Is it possible to get a copy of that in a format that I can modify it? I don't have any software that can work with .stl files (I use RhinoCAM).

Or is there any decent software to convert mesh to .dxf?

RhinoCAM website says it can import stl?

Ben

It can read the .stl, but I can't do any editting to it like I can a .dxf.

You'll have to figure out to do subtraction in your modeling software and subtract the nuts from the stl object. In openscad this is called difference.

I found a way for Rhino to convert mesh to polysurfaces, thanks for your input. But I cannot find a copy of the X part to work with.

Do you mean the Y carriage? All the ecksbot files are here. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26354

I made some of these up out of Aluminum; the mount is glass beaded and the nuts are polished.

Comes with a dial indicator.
