Support the STL format
From @oparoz on July 21, 2016 13:6
Feature request
User type: Any
User level: Beginners
Description
STL files are used to exchange CAD designs, like the ones used by 3D printers. It would be nice to be able create thumbnails of those designs and to be able to see them in 3D in a WebGL supporting browser.
Benefit / value
It's always nice for users when the system supports more formats
Risk / caveats
We need to find a reliable, maintained Javascript library as this needs to be low maintenance.
Sponsorship
None so far. Might be worth approaching some vendors in the industry which could benefit from sharing such files on a system such as ownCloud / Nextcloud

Hi @oparoz
This is and old feature request, a couple of JavaScript STL viewers. I hope it will help you.

And a HTML5 loader / viewer

Hi again
Also related a G-code viewer will be awesome, STL are 3D models usually used as base for 3D printing, but 3D printers didn’t process STL files. You need to transform STL files into a series of movement orders than the 3D printer can understand, this is a GCode file.
Here you have a couple of GCode JavaScript viewers.

Regards,
STL would be great since I use NextCloud to share between Home, Work and Maker Lab.
That would be an awesome add, I am currently looking into a solution to organize my 3dprinting files. And I'm sure I'm not the only one...
