Topic: Tool to split plated STL into multiple objects
Hello all,
Have you ever felt frustrated when you get some STL file that contains all the parts that you want to print, but they don't fit on your building plate? I usually split the file into separate pieces manually, with netfabb or tinkercad, but now I wrote a small script that does that for you, automatically!
Just get it here: https://github.com/fsantini/python-stlsplitter
You will, of course, need Python installed (with numpy), but otherwise you just need to do:
python stlSplitter.py <file.stl>As a bonus feature, you also get a STL read/write library that can work both with binary and Ascii files!
Hope it helps!
