If you are using a tool that generates STEP files that sounds great
but I do all of my design in OpenSCAD so you get STLs from me. Any
STEP files would have to come out of a converter.
I do recommend if you use OpenSCAD, please publish the source files
with the STL.
This is what I wanted to write, too.
I don't know STEP files, and while I can import STL files into the slicer,
I can't modify them, just position and scale.
So yes, *if* someone publishes 3D models e.g. on Thingiverse, _include_
then sources! OpenSCAD is a great tool.
