Im going to give printing a bunch of these another go since you are making the really great matte files.

1) Import the model into Blender
2) Go to Edit mode (bottom toolbar)
3) Hit 'A' to deselect everything
4) Right click somewhere on the base
5) Hold down the 'ctrl' key and continually press the '+' key until the entire base is selected.
6) Hit 'X' and delete vertices
7) Go to Object mode (bottom toolbar)
8 ) Save as .stl file
The bases are not attached to the models, so they can be easily removed. Hopefully the feet are closed on the bottom so the model is manifest. If you struggle with a model let me know and I can clean it up.
