@stanbellcom are you using stl.createParseStream?

stanbellcom commented 10 years ago

@tmpvar i was trying to, but could not find a proper example of how to use that.

could you provide one similar to this one:

var stl = require('stl')
var fs = require('fs');

var facets = stl.toObject(fs.readFileSync('/path/to/ascii.stl').toString());
fs.writeFileSync('/path/to/binary.stl', stl.fromObject(facets, true));

thanks in advance

ah, yeah the problem here is that the ascii stl files do not include the facet count which is needed to output binary. Let me give this some thought..

EDIT:

by output binary, I mean stream binary
