I believe you need to render the part, then export the .stl. That file is pretty well documented and I suppose after a lot of the “explore” piece, a guy could get fluent in that language and coax it to build ideas. Me, The biggest thing I’ve done is modify this file to create a custom belt profile for a replacement pulley in a sewing machine.

I used a pair of screws at 180 degrees to keep the pulley from flexing sideways too much when it’s clamped. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
