    What are the dimensions of your print bed? You can use the split command and planes to break your base into multiple segments.

    You drew it as 15 inches by 50 inches. That will not fit in any hobby 3D printer. Did you mean to make it that big? How do you plan to join the pieces together after printing? If you really want it that big, it might be a better project for a piece of wood and a router to make the groove around the perimeter.

    I think you are from a Metric country, change setting's if needed, first in your account setting's and then your document
