Stl file edit?

[coralbeauties]

Can anyone do a simple edit to a stl file for a mushroom cage for me. I just got a new printer and I am using a file on thingiverse. I am able to make it smaller to the size I want but it also makes the center hole for the frag plug stem too small. If you can help out lmk.
Thanks
Jeff

Tinkercad is your friend. Import your stl, make a cylinder the size you need and make it a "hole" instead of a solid object, line it up where you wants it then group the objects together.

I have been working with it. I make the hole and group it with the cage and they group together but the hole size doesnt increase to the 15mm in the cage. Im a total nob with any type of design work.
thanks for any more advise.

Sometimes tinkercad gets stuck and takes a few minutes to process.

If you can't get it to work, send me the link and what dimensions you want.

I was able to edit the stl file in tinkercad. Was easy after grizflrfyter got me headed in the right direction
