Dirty Stl orienter

This is a quick and dirty tool made to reorient stl files. This was made to fix the orientation of stl files exported from Fusion360 for MillenniumMachines projects. As a bonus it also centers the meshes at the origin.

Requirements

• Python 3
  • numpy-stl
• OpenSCAD

Usage

usage: stl_orienter.py [-h] [--path PATH] [--recursive] [--output OUTPUT] [--param-dir PARAM_DIR] [--no-apply] [--no-param] [--openscad OPENSCAD]

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --path PATH           Directory containing STL files or single STL file
  --recursive           Recursively search for STL files
  --output OUTPUT       Output directory, if none is given, the original files will be overwritten
  --param-dir PARAM_DIR
                        Directory containing the parameter files

  --no-param            Skip creating new parameters
  --openscad OPENSCAD   Path to openscad

Warning

This tool was re-written on a Sunday morning, it is not very robust, that said it's pretty simple, so feel free to modify it.
