Complete noob, looking for some guidance

Hi everyone, first post here. Seems like a knowledgeable and friendly community so I thought I'd try my luck here.

 

So I made a model in 123D Design, for a cabinet I want to 3D print. I'm really new to using the software, and any kind of 3d modeling software for that matter.

 

First question, I was wondering is there a way to make the angled face and top face of the cabinet paneled, without having to completely redesign? Want to be able to take them of for "servicing".

 

Second question, how do I remove faces/lines that I don't need anymore? As you can see on the back of the case, I had to move some connector holes around, and I just filled the old holes with Extruded blocks and made new ones. But the faces/lines from the old holes are still there.

 

Third question, is it even printable? In terms of Vertecies, faces, meshing etc? PS: I know its large, and my printer will just be able to print it, might have to split it in to two pieces if I get some issues like warping, splitting.

 

Thanks

NB: My terminology is probably horrible and English is my 3rd language, so please don't hesitate to ask if something is confusing you.

Also, sorry if I put this in the wrong category, it was very confusing with all the different kinds.

This is the Fusion 360 forum not 123d, I don't think there's a forum for 123d anymore. You might want to download Fusion, it's free for students and hobby use, it a lot more powerful than 123d.
