I've selected STL file to open, but nothing happend and there is no button to load the file.

I've tried various STLs in Firefox with the same result.

Unfortunately the code only support binary STL's at the moment so it sounds like you may be using one in ASCII format. There's also a polygon limit so best to keep any STL's under 10MB for now.

If possible, check the Developer Tools in FF for Javascript errors which should give more information on where it's getting stuck.

Didn't realized my STL is in ASCII. I've just checked and you are true... Can you please put some kind of info/warning there?

funkBuild commented 5 years ago

Will do :thumbsup: Keep in mind that this project is mostly just a demonstration for now and is very much in development and not yet ready for general use. My spare time is going towards a new CNC controller at the moment but I should be back to actively working on this shortly to get it beta ready and to integrate it with the controller. Feedback and bug reports are always welcome however!

A 9 axis CNC controller

I didn't even knew that 9 axis machines exists...

BTW have you been considering contributing to Kiri:Moto instead of writing your own web based 3D cam?

It works quite well, but there are lots of small improvements that can be done and original author is too busy to do that... It will take time before you get the functionality at least to the Kiri:Moto level, but if you instead help to improve the Kiri:Moto, the results of combined efforts can be quite huge.
