3D Printing Skirt
#7
The pix you forwarded from Alan are about what I'd expect with the difference between Savage's skirt and my calculations for the Greebles. I don't have the skirt, so trying to do this with the fewest iterations might be tricky.

Alan, can you try chopping Giles' print in half, then putting the corner together and seeing if that fits in a corner? If the corner bits are good, then we can just chop an appropriate # of bricks out of the middle of the model, that should be pretty trivial.

Second thought is that if we knew how it fit in 2 corners, then we could measure the actual required width.

Also, the original "stuck out" into the corner a little, so I tried to follow that. But I may have put too much brick on the top in the corner. That shouldn't impact your current problem, but it's possible the top of the corner needs shaved a little to better fit the angle.

(Giles, could the infill go lower? There's nothing structural in there. Especially @ 50% the bridges for the little bricks aren't going to be very big so I doubt there'd be much drooping of the tops. Also this probably doesn't need the # of shells of a BB-8 part)

Just FYI: 3D Builder on Windows 10 has as simple tool to chop models in half. Then you can reexport the STL. Tiny bit awkward, but it works well the couple times I've tried it.
