Terry - This is really cool, you might consider entering it in the Community Challenge #7:
I tried to download the tool, and can not find the Exe files needed. Please help
there is a nice browser based version nowadays, much easier:
https://fenrus75.github.io/FenrusCNCtools/javascript/stl2png.html
I just found that and am trying it but i wish it allowed for the user to set the file name or grab it from the import filename.
ok I just changed it to take it from the input filename…
(it might take 1 or 2 minutes to propagate to the live webpage)
Works great thank you
how to do you get the cmd file to execute the conversion i wnet on the link you have but not sure what i need to download and how to run it?
those are the newest steps… no more downloads
This looks so good except Step 2 which has completely baffled me - the link takes me to some raw code. Do you know if https://products.groupdocs.app/conversion/stl-to-png works as well?
https://community.carbide3d.com/t/cutting-stl-models-with-carbide-create-pro-nearly-2021-edition/27704
has updated and much more detailed instructions… please check those out.
No local apps needed, just a page you go to in your browser.
This is so helpful, thank you!
Hello,
I like the idea of creating a heightmap grayscale from STL files.
I clicked on the link for Github and saw a list of files.
do you use all the files?
I’m confused… How do I download the program to do this?
See:
Misunderstanding…
I just want to create the heightmap grayscale file. I have a program to convert grayscale to Gcode.
I do not have CC-pro.
Is this an issue?
Use that link from the post,
https://fenrus75.github.io/FenrusCNCtools/stl2nc/stl2nc.html
It’s an online tool, and will generate both the PNG grayscale heightmap you want, and the gcode (which in your case will not be useful)
