Today only, Packt publishing is offering a free copy of Gordon Fisher's 'Blender 3D Printing Essentials. Get it while you still can!
Like computing, 3D printing has been around for decades but it was expensive and was only used for making complex prototypes. Now, prices have dropped and third-party printing services such as Shapeways have become available, making the technology available to everyone. Blender is an open source modeling and animation program popular in the 3D printing community. 3D printing demands more of a modeller than animation or virtual reality. The model maker must engineer their model to work in the real world. They must keep in mind the particular needs of the materials and printers that they are planning to use to print their model. This practical guide gives Blender users all the information they need to design high-quality 3D printed objects. With a solid exploration of the 3D modeling process, design considerations for 3D printing, plus step-by-step exercises, you will soon be comfortable making 3D objects ready to be printed!

The file "4597_01_LayersDisplay.blend" does not contain the images for the track in the video sequence editor. I tried the "unpack" option and there were no images to unpack either. And I checked all the folders in the code download in case they were hidden elsewhere. They simply don't exist so the video sequence does not display anything.
Did you contact Packt Publishing about this?
