Yes, it will be helpful, but much moreso when I can down load a file and convert it here on my own machine. There are many things on thingiverse etc that need modified, such as the height or even the type of bed sensors used on 3d printers. Being able to cut that portion of an otherwise good hotend design for a 3d printer, out of that design and slide in our own version would be a huge help.
