6- Separate the inside from the base.
7- To make the hole for the pendant, click on the shape tool and then select the tube shape.
8- Move the tube to where you would like it on your design.
9- Lower the height so it is the same as the backing plate.
10- Select both the tube and the backing plate and right click then group.
11- Click on the 3D print icon. The base is ready to print. Adjust the print settings and print.
