Share the original case files in a different format?

[togden]

Hi, I'm interested in building an Apiaster, but want to modify the case a bit. The STLs that get generated aren't very easy to modify, and I was wonering if you'd be willing to share the files in a different file format, like STEP?

Cheers!

The entire case is written using build123d from the ground up. If you want a step file, you can edit the code in your fork to export a step instead of an stl. Should be a very simple find and replace task. That said, I have no idea how helpful a build123d generated step file would be. Would be curious if you decided to report back.

Did a basic find & replace for stl -> step and with a little troubleshooting got the code to run, but there was no output. Will require a bit more in-depth work to get the export to work, it seems. Will keep chipping away at it.
