Title: STL Viewer Author: christian.loelkes Published: April 17, 2013 Last modified: March 15, 2015 --- Search plugins 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. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/stl-viewer.svg) # STL Viewer By [christian.loelkes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/christianloelkes/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/stl-viewer.1.1.zip) * [Details](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/stl-viewer/#description) * [Reviews](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/stl-viewer/#reviews) * [Installation](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/stl-viewer/#installation) * [Development](https://pcd.wordpress.org/plugins/stl-viewer/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/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](https://www.db4cl.com/projects/stlviewer-1-0-for-wordpress/). ## Screenshots * [[ ## 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” ] A complete description of the plugin can be found on [my blog](https://www.db4cl.com/projects/stlviewer-1-0-for-wordpress/) ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/dfeb406a141122d2d3511cc95b82387d0a7222ef5a4e71dcc1c35e0159f6bb00? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[works fine](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-fine-550/)󠁿 [EMEFKA](https://profiles.wordpress.org/emefka/) September 3, 2016 Only one but: but it would be nice if Settings, Rendering Options and Lightning Option would be explained ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e51f1a0f4a79fc1e5f34d91f83a2f39b57e29288593fa9e9e70485f9e42fd9ff? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Works, but some setup is required (read on how):](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/works-but-some-setup-is-required-read-on-how/)󠁿 [AAA](https://profiles.wordpress.org/flag/) February 23, 2022 … 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!
