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?
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!
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?
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!
Didn’t learn anything! I already know what’s in St. Louis it’s just like buildings and people and stuff. Idk they also have an arch they’re sooooooo proud of.
This is amazing, Andrew. So helpful and cool. Love you're using Blender too!
Blender FTW!
@@AndrewSink Hey do you think it would be possible to utilize the info given in a STL file to calculate the surface area of the object?
@@TheClem9779 For sure! Should be able to that easily on Blender!

With a neural net will be a piece of cake 🍰
brother you have no idea how helpfull this was for me
Thanks! Glad you got some use out of it!
I was going to make a custom 3d printer script for my arduino. This video helped so much!
@@powerxcode5333 Great, glad to hear it!
Amazing explanations, would be nice to see some custom G-code compilers out of those STL's

Awesome explanation ! Thanks !
Glad I could help!
Hello, could you please tell me how to name the face sets in an STL file in ASCII format?
Great video!
Thanks! It’s one of my favorite videos of all the ones I’ve made, so that really means a lot. 🥹
Where are you finding the text? I've seriously been trying and I can't open it in any way that is intelligible.

@@AndrewSink ahhh, that's good to know. Thank you. This will be very helpful.
how did you manage to create shape with round numbered vertex? because mine is a mess with a lot of decimals
I made mine from scratch, so I picked integers!
@@AndrewSink using blender?
Yup!
Hey, Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you could explain how do we understand a binary stl file
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.
hey which software you used for mouse track
Google Slides! 🤣
can you please explain how to do slicing of an stl file using matlab
FYI, this comment sparked off a lot of great ideas on Twitter, check it out! twitter.com/AndrewASink/status/1419711316751695877

how do you upload the text of the stl to blender into a 3d model?
You can just upload the STL into Blender directly!
what is the difference between normal stl and STL Ascii and how to convert an stl file to STL Ascii
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!
How I can read printer parameter from stl file in python
You should be able to parse through them directly as a text file!
Really cool!
Thanks!
@@AndrewSink but what text editor do you use? (I tried notepad but it was not successful attempt)
Beautiful Video Thaks
Glad you liked it!
Cool video 😉
Hahaha, thanks!
No quad .STL's? 😃

Legit laughed out loud at this one.
emacs might be simpler than blender
