This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress.

STL Viewer

Description

With a simple shortcode you can enable and embed a WebGL viewer to show 3d stl files.

In the current version:

  • STL files have to be uploaded to /wp-content/uploads
  • The viewer can’t be used more than one time per page. This might be a feature because the viewer needs a lot of resources.

A complete description of the plugin can be found on my blog.

Installation

  1. Upload the directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

  3. Upload an STL-File to WordPress

  4. Insert the shortcode [stl file=”filename.stl” ]

Only one but: but it would be nice if Settings, Rendering Options and Lightning Option would be explained

… but needs some config. 1. Enable .stl file upload (or any other file type or file-extension) You have to disable FILTER upload before be able to upload an .STL file. Just add // — allow all files to be uploaded define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true); somewhere in your config.php file. 2. Refer your .STL files correctly Then make sure you refer your .STL files correctly! If your domain is: http://www.yourdomain.com Your uploads will go to maybe: http://www.yourdomain.com/uploads/2015/10/myfile.stl So refer the stl file as: /2015/10/myfile.stl because http://www.yourdomain.com/uploads/ is added by the plugin itself. 3. Example: Insert code is not documented within the plugin, which is a shame. So here it is: [stl file="/2015/10/3dprinted-wrench.stl" /] Hope that helps. 4. Setup Background I was not able to set the background, which seems to be just a black color by default. There is a way within the plugin to setup a tile (image) but it did not work correctly. (Just a small stripe is shown.) I did try: [stl file="myfile.stl" background="#f8f8f8" /] but does not seems to work for me. Question If someone knows how to setup Background color (mono, fix), or tile image, please let me know!
