Free tool to edit STL files Hi, For the last month I am working on a free tool(stl-editor) to simplify STL editing process and to support reprap community. What you think about the idea to have a free web STL-editor, and what are you opinion about the product itself? The tool can be found here (version 0.1): [www.print.place] https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712315#msg-712315 Thu, 12 Mar 2026 03:29:23 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,790700#msg-790700 Re: Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,790700#msg-790700 HiMark115 3D Design tools Mon, 02 Oct 2017 13:33:49 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,713014#msg-713014 Re: Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,713014#msg-713014

STL-wise, probably the most useful thing would be to be able to cut an STL into parts and add connectors to join them together physically.

I was thinking about cutting, it is very useful. But connectors is something new, it is an interesting idea to consider.

Thanks.]]> mclaren 3D Design tools Mon, 10 Oct 2016 16:02:20 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712537#msg-712537 Re: Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712537#msg-712537 frankvdh 3D Design tools Sat, 08 Oct 2016 18:28:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712527#msg-712527 Re: Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712527#msg-712527 tomupyours 3D Design tools Sat, 08 Oct 2016 15:57:58 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712447#msg-712447 Re: Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712447#msg-712447
Scale/mirror is the first step, the idea is to develop it further.
An example is boolean operators (union/intersection STL files), but the list can continue...

It is more useful when you did not have CAD model, and want to do some changes to object, and only option is to edit STL.


What type of operations with STL files you are using more often?

Thanks for your opinion.]]> mclaren 3D Design tools Sat, 08 Oct 2016 05:20:50 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712423#msg-712423 Re: Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712423#msg-712423 I'm thinking "What problem are you trying to solve?".

I can scale/mirror STL objects using something like Slic3r. Why would I want to use your tool?

Having said that, your site appears to work well, and is easy to use.]]> frankvdh 3D Design tools Sat, 08 Oct 2016 00:10:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712315#msg-712315 Free tool to edit STL files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?80,712315,712315#msg-712315
