These fins are supposed to stop at the rim, but one side just keeps going. Is this an error in the source file, or did I do something wrong?

Ow my ribs.

But for real thanks! I'll take a look when I sit back down at my windows computer. As far as I know, I didn't change any of the dimensions that would have affected the fins like that... Maybe I changed the wrong parameter.

Extrude to a surface, not to a distance. That way if you do resize anything, it all resizes together.

I ended up just printing it as is and snapping off the little piece.
