I have, from time to time, received requests for a 3D printable copy of my Cobalt model. Not knowing much about 3D printing, I decided I should try and learn a little bit about what that would mean.
If I've done my homework right, this:

...should be a four inch tall STL file suitable for running through your favorite 3D printer.
***UPDATE NOTE: It's not four inches tall. It's four millimeters tall. You may want to resize it. ***
I don't own a printer myself, and the closest look I've ever got at one was from across a crowded room. But I found a youtube tutorial on turning poser figures into STL files for printing, so I whipped up a quickie base, posed Cobalt on it, and ran thru the steps to get it to output. The base came out a bit softer than I would have liked. But this is just a first attempt, so....
Anyway, if you have the means, give it a shot and let me know how it worked.

Well, you're off by units. That's a four millimeter tall Cobalt file.
However, it's just a matter of scaling it in the slicer, the resolution's the same - it's just a size value.
Once I put the new bed surface on my printer I'll give it a shot!
And you have now given me impetus to get off my butt and put the new bed surface on.

STL is actually a unit-less file format. That means whatever software you use to import it will interpret it in its default units. So if your default is imperial, it'll import in inches (or feet, or yards, if for whatever weird reason you're using those), and if SI it will import as mm (or cm or m).
If you're an astronomer and are using parsecs, it would have imported as 4 parsecs tall...
