**Chris**: Thank you. It's all starting to look nice now. The test panel extrusion was at the correct value (0.75mm) but for the 3d version I may increase that slightly. The 3d printer version will have the correct extrusion.

Now onto the rear section of the command module. Using very few control points at the HyperNurbs stage meant the shape needs refining. For this I use a Cinema  **FFD **(deformer). The deformation is confined within the confines of the FFD - this was positioned so that the front loop of points are not affected. 

More time with another tool but all being well it will be time well spent!
