3D printer files are digital files that contain information about the shape and geometry of a 3D object. These files can be created using a variety of 3D modeling software and saved in a variety of ...

The most common reason an STL file may be not quite right is a mechanical connection where some piece isn’t quite as the designer expected, so the 3D model that interfaces with it no longer fits.

Thingiverse is an online platform dedicated to 3D printing, providing a vast collection of 3D print files in the widely used STL format.

What is an STL file? In layman’s terms, an STL file contains 3D meshes, geometry, and other related information and is used for 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and computer-aided manufacturing.

STL format is, by comparison, almost trivial to implement. This has in part contributed to the inertia keeping STL as the format making the 3D printing world go round. Want to try it out?

O ver recent years, the U.S. Army has been steadily integrating both drones and 3D printing into its arsenal. This ...
