    Why does the slicing software interpret the hollow body as solid, despite deleting the face? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. Also if you orient the top face such that it is on the left side, would the body behave like a hollow body?

    Where are you finding the text? I've seriously been trying and I can't open it in any way that is intelligible.

    • @AndrewSink
      @AndrewSink  3 роки тому

      You'll only see text if the file is saved as an ASCII stl and not a binary one. You can import the file into Meshmixer and export as an ASCII stl if you only have a binary one available!

    • @AndrewSink
      @AndrewSink  2 роки тому

      If you're not a computer, you're going to have a hard time with binary .STL files. ASCII is the way to go for a human readable format.

    Always interesting, Andrew! I really like your work. Related to .STL files, is it possible to edit a G-Code? I've always wondered if we had a G-Code that worked well printing a single, small file, *and without recreating those settings, and re-exporting it*, could we edit a G-Code to allow for MULTIPLE prints of that same file?

    • @AndrewSink
      @AndrewSink  3 роки тому

      An ASCII STL is human-readable, while a binary STL is not. A program like Meshmixer can typically import and export both types, but I’ve never tried explicitly converting one. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes for you!
