Safety limit: this creates rectangular outline preview G-code, not production slicing or infill. Inspect in a G-code viewer and use a real slicer before sending anything to a printer.

How to use this stl-to-g-code converter

  1. Choose an ASCII or binary STL file, set the layer height and movement speed, and generate the draft outline G-code.
  2. Review the layer height, movement speed, outline coordinates, and printer commands before downloading the draft G-code.
  3. Preview the finished file, then download it. Open the download once to make sure it has the expected size and content.
