Cheap/Free software to "thicken" dxf files

My daughter is 14 years old, and an amazing artist

I have taught here how to make dxf files from here sketches, etc, but then I have to thicken them for her to print (I use Solidworks)

Is there a free or cheap program I can get for her, that she could use to make here own 3d prints?

Re: Did my board just short out?

But also why did the hot end do that? It is actually pretty new


My original hot end just had the thermostat piece come out completely; how do I reinstall that?
