Re: 3D Household Furniture
Dale, You CAN import STL files into 3D programs, such as SketchUp and TinkerCAD. I've been using SketchUp for many years, though it has a learning curve (not near as steep as AutoCAD, thankfully). I

Re: 3D Household Furniture
Dale, The short answer is, that STL is not designed to be an *editable* format. Most CAD design for 3D printing (in Autocad, Fusion 360 or other software) has proprietary editable formats. These

Re: STL File Sharing
What I don¡¯t get?is the apparent assumption that people will be somehow required to share. ?If you don¡¯t want to share, keep the?file?on your own hard drive. If someone sees the part and asks,

Re: 3D Household Furniture
Dale: I have never done any 3D printing and have not worked with STL. I am, however, a competent 3D designer in Autocad, having worked with it for 35 years. I have perhaps a dozen Autocad (DWG) files

Re: STL File Sharing
I don't get it. I put files on Thingiverse. STL's are resizable. I usually put "S Scale" in the title or description so S Scalers can find it. If some O Scaler wants to scale it up and use it, fine.

Haven't tried SMM's trucks, but here's the AM truck vs the corrected Lionel truck with swapped scale wheels and bearings.? Yah, I know AM's not a 100 ton truck, but it's good 'nuf in my opinion.?
