Stretches just part of an stl file
Project description
STL Stretch
This script lets you modify stl files by scaling them, including by scaling just a section along an axis.
Requirements:
- Python 2.7+ including Python 3.x
- Nose in order to run the tests
How does it work?
For example, let's say you have this file, but want it to be wider:
You coud scale it by a fixed amount through the whole way, but that will make the circles out of round, which you might need for screws or something else:
To use this script, you need to find (or guess and iterate) on the coordinates the bound where you want to modify, for example to stretch between X=9 and X=15, the script divides it into 3 segments:
The no-op change would be python stl.py --stretch "X 9 15 0" -o new.stl old.stl
. Note the 0
. If you want to expand this region by 7.5 units
(typically mm by convention) then change the 0
to 7.5
.
The resulting file is one without gaps, those are just for illustration.
