Julian That will do me nicely. A good lesson, I think I am getting there, I will try something similar like a cube with less of those triangles to compute. Many thanks John

Re: #3D STL conversion

I managed to get the STL into a step and it was only 550MB, so I started looking at the design and there were holes all over the place, which means the mesh didn't. The link to the vase at cults

Julian's not working on an stl conversion, Julian's taking his first steps in working with meshes and it's very frustrating! Won't be venturing back into that work space any time soon. The model will

Julian Armin. Well I managed to create a STEP file from Armin?s STL Using Freecad, toolbars part, produce a mesh, produce a solid. STEP size 706 mb. WOW Brought into my Mastercam, to convert this

Re: Arduino tachometer
#Tachometers_Encoders
Jerry, Nice explanation. With rotary incremental encoders, you can usually buy one with what is called an "index pulse". This is a pulse that occurs once during each revolution, and is output on a

Re: Arduino tachometer
#Tachometers_Encoders
Hi, John, Happy to help. The encoder generates the two rising and falling channels regardless of whether you evaluate them as 600, 1200 or 2400 PPR. The spec then applies to the 600 PPR. Each channel

Armin. Magic thanks. I can scale up to 200% but 150% seems good. Julian is also working on a STL conversion. So I will have a choice. I will be able to print "hopefully" a vase for my wife, B4

I've been playing too! Is this acceptable ... I've had to cut the top off a little.? The original stl is around 1000mm high.? If I scale it to 100mm I think the wall thickness will be around 2mm.?

John, if its just for priniting I found a similar vase on Cults3D.com that can be sliced in PrusaSlicer. I'm not sure if the link https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/vasedoubletwist4mm is allowed

Thanks Julian for your understanding, this conversion (reverse engineering) is like making glass, once it's melted, a devil's job to get back to the raw materials. I think the new Prusa slicer

Can anybody help. I have downloaded a STL file for slicing. Such a nice shape and style. I need to convert to a STEP file so I can draft in a hole. I have tried Free cad and Solid edge, I get so far
