cmpolis / convertstl Goto Github PK

Go to http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/LCEL/RP/u21/wwwroot/stl_library.htm#Download and download the porsche STL file. The STL file is in binary format but the converter thinks it's ascii and so fails to convert it.

Hi,
just a quick note on converting that script into some native windows executable

Download Ruby (https://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller2/releases/download/RubyInstaller-2.7.0-1/rubyinstaller-2.7.0-1-x64.exe)
Then run "cmd"

gem install ocra
git clone https://github.com/cmpolis/convertSTL.git
cd convertSTL/
ocra convertSTL.rb

It will generate convertSTL.exe

That's it. Super easy but helpful to de-force users to install Ruby in their system.

Hello, I am a Web Developer and I am trying to build my own 3D-print Website. I think a new project has to raise. Therefor to store stl files in the Web and read them. Also a function that alculates the price. Eventually turning it into cura but online.

Hi,
after conversion of ASCII file to binary, programs refuse to open this file. Has somebody had same issue yet?

Hello,
I have an stl file that I have scanned from 3d scanner. Your code is under Download and I copied my scanned stl file which is in binary format in the same folder. I call your code like ./convertSTL.rb [1502182742.stl] but gives error:
Error: No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - [1502182742.stl]
So where should be the stl file?
Thank you in advance.
