That cube was an exercise in writing gcode for his CNC class. It was machined from aluminum billet and is one piece. It is quite striking when viewed from the proper angle. He gave me the drawing and I modeled it thinking I 'd like to print it using some of the new satin PLA filaments, but my printer doesn't do bridging very well and this would take a lot of support.
The problem with STL files is that they are not readily modifiable. Trying to work with an STL file beyond just printing can be a frustrating experience. For me, STEP and IGES files are to be preferred over STL in anything other than printing.?
Hey, I'm glad I'm able to contribute!?
