Hi Jeff,
Your reduced triangle .stl (dare I ask how you did it ?) works just fine with MeshCAM so it appears that MC has an upper limit on the size of .stl files which it will handle.
I have only just started looking at 2.5D machining and don't know too much about it yet, particularly creation of original artwork so I am just downloading other peoples .stl's as and when I find them and looking at ways to convert them to toolpaths. One thing I have learn't, however, is not to buy any software until I have tried it first so the quest will continue.
Many thanks for your help.
