MIDILLI STL Generator for 3D Printers

Description

MIDILLI STL Generator is a free and versatile command-line tool for creating STL files to prepare box-shaped parts with the help of free and open-source OpenSCAD. It supports circular drill holes, rectangular cutouts, and precise dimensions in metric units. The generated STL files can be opened in 3D viewers, or can directly be used in slicers to be printed via 3D Printers.

Derived from the in-house MIDILLI Tech Automation Suite, this tool is a simplified yet robust solution.

It is offered free for non-commercial use. You can find the full license details here.
