Provide filament length from STL

$30-250 AUD

$30-250 AUD

Paid on delivery
I need a script that will take an STL file provided by the user and give the LENGTH of filament used. The standard infill is 20% and the user will select the type of filament used so you can take the density of that selected filament into account. The printers use 0.4mm nozzles and 1.75mm filament. I use ASA, PLA, PET-G, TPU, and Nylon filament, so take the densities of those into account in your calculations. Please be aware that you cannot simply take the volume of the object and calculate the filament length from that. This will give inaccurate results for hollow objects. It MUST calculate the length of filament actually used from an STL file. It must also show a small rendering of the file to give the user something pretty to look at. I'm well aware that an STL file will only give the bounding volume of an object so you're very likely going to have to integrate CuraEngine or parse the STL to a third party site to slice the file. If I have to set up CuraEngine on another domain then so be it. You'll need to explain how to do that. This is a challenge so delivery time is open-ended. It must be fairly accurate but I'm not going to be disappointed if it's out by 15-20% - so long as it's 15-20% higher. Good luck!

Hello, Please see some of my previous projects on my freelancer.com portfolio : https://www.freelancer.com/u/chromenickel in " Html5 / Css / Javascript applications " category. I can develop that project with precise results. I didnt use CuraEngine before and i checked it now. It seems quite doable. At least lower than 20% error is ok. I have at leas 10 years experience on 3d modeling, machining, product design and mold making. I have strong knowledge about g-codes and how 3d printers works. I have a 3d printer too. I can generate a software from scratch too. I would like to talk on more details like where you want to use this software. I can make it both for desktop and web. ( windows, linux and raspberry pi are ok. I dont have a mac computer ) I would like to work on it. We can start with a small milestone, and if you see positive results, we can move next, or i will accept to let you back that first milestone. Please check that milestones i provided by this proposal.
