That last link has the printer assembly rotated on its back (with Y axis as "up") which most probably means it was modeled in SolidWorks, because it's the only CAD system I know of that stupidly puts XZ plane as ground instead of the universally acknowledged XY plane as ground. So maybe you can ask Thingiverse user twelvepro if he's willing to share his original files.

Ob-pedantry: I understand the default view orientations are common in the car designing biz. Notice I said "default". The standard views could rearranged to anything you like, inclusing some loony diagonal arrangement.

yes Im a student, Solidworks is the CAD package I've been taught for the last 3 years. I've built the box frame i3 but would have been happy with any of them for the big leg up over starting from scratch. I'm a bit surprised really, the painful experience I've had with OpenSCAD had me thinking others would definitely have jumped to other software for their own iterating

I have no idea of the meaning of that neologism (it's not an existing word) or if it was directed toward me, nor do I care. In my own experience a great majority of designers will just use the default planes when modeling (i.e., just accept that "ground" or "top view" is what the software tells them). To my knowledge XY as ground plane or top view has been the default in ALL manufacturing fields and SolidWorks going against that unwritten "standard" had no valid purpose. The end result is that when importing a STEP generated by SW in any other CAD program, the model is almost always on its back instead of standing up. Granted in the grand scheme of things it's at best a minor nuisance, but one I would rather not have to deal with.
