Hi,

I’m using solidworks to convert my files to .stl. However, there’s a limit on setting the deviation and angle. (Max deviation is about 0.2mm) I need a low resolution stl export. (Yes, bad quality) Is there any software availabe which lets you customize the deviation? (Without limit obviously)

Thank you,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

It should be possible to change the deviation to 0.01 mm while saving the STL file. Take a look at this link for the action steps: https://www.stratasysdirect.com/resources/how-to-prepare-stl-files/

Hope this will help!

Cheers,

Hi Mercedes,

Thank you for your reply. I might have been a little bit unclear. But I need the deviation factor to be about 2mm. (So it will be a very small, and bad quality file) However, Solidworks has a limit. So the deviation range can be set from 0.2 till 0.001mm or something like that.

I think netfab might have that option, although I’m not sure what deviation factor is.
