I have a pretty large STL file (1.2gig) that I would like to cut out on my CNC but I am unsure of how to transform an STL into G-code. I saw a tutorial that used a program called FreeCad but it is not very good (as expected from a free software) and kept crashing. Does anyone know of any good software/tutorials for this? Thanks.
Many of us here us @fenrus tool, but not sure it can handle 1.2GB.
I suspect you should look at reducing the resolution/point count in that STL first though, it is unlikely that CNC-accuracy requires/would benefit from millions of vertices

my tool ends at around 200Mb, after that it hits a pile of JavaScript/browser limits
