Slicer software is used to convert your STL file into a G-Code file that can be sent to your 3D printer. There are several slicer software options available, including Cura, Slic3r, and Simplify3D.

Your 3D printer uses G-code to know what to print. The slicing program will convert a stereolithography (.stl) file of a 3D model into the necessary G-code that your printer can understand.

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.

The file types you can convert to are much more limited—there are only six of them—but Spin 3D includes outputs in 3DP and 3DX in addition to STL and OBJ formats.

This custom node converts a 3D mesh from GLB format to STL format. It is designed to be used within the ComfyUI framework. I created this as a stop gap to allow me to turn drawings or 2d images into ...
