I have an STL file of an old wooden warship and I want help creating 3 x flattened views of the model in .STL format.
I am attaching a word doc, with three screen shots, of the views, that I would like you to create 3 flattened models in .STL format. Once I have a conversation with someone that understands what I need, I can share the .STL file.
I will be creating wood carvings from the STL files, so the flattening is crucial, as I do not want a full 3D carving, but a flat 2.5D picture style carving.
My carving will be approximately the following size
X = 350mm
Y = 250mm
Z = 12mm
Therefore the total height of what I will carve will be 12mm height.
What is key here - I dont want to lose detail, retaining the detail is key.
I have asked a couple of people to help, who have no idea how to flatten an .STL file - This is essential, please dont bid if you do not how to do this.
Other contractors say they have no experience with CNC Routers - you do not need any CNC experience, only flattening 3D .STL files.
Happy to answer any questions?
Please let me know when you can start, what you will charge?
Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,
When you say "flatten" the stl file.. you basically want the file, integrated onto a flat plane, with one side visible.. ?.. ie half the model extrudes outwards from the flat plane?..
ThanksKen S.24 Oct 2024Exactly right.
Thanks
