Create an ASCII STL file from a THREE.js mesh | |
that can be saved save from browser and 3D printed | |
-------------------------------------------------- | |
See further explanation here: | |
http://buildaweso.me/project/2013/2/25/converting-threejs-objects-to-stl-files | |
-------------------------------------------------- | |
Saving the file out of the browser is done using FileSaver.js | |
find that here: https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js | |
