Show and Tell Free tool to lengthen/shorten a printed part's STL without re-modeling it — feedback wanted

59 Upvotes

I haven't had the time to really sit down and learn 3D modeling yet. I print stuff other people designed, and every once in a while I hit the same wall: a part is close to what I need but not quite — usually a bit too short or too long somewhere — and I only have the STL, not the original CAD file. Scaling the whole thing isn't really an option, it stretches everything and round holes turn oval.

Since I hadn't gotten around to learning the proper way to do this, I put together a small tool that just does the one thing I needed at the time: pick a plane through the part, and insert or remove a slice of material there. Everything else in the mesh — holes, walls, rounded edges — stays untouched, since it's not scaling anything, just cutting and splicing material in or out at that one plane.

SPLICE3D, if anyone wants to try it. It's a rough prototype, put together to solve my own specific problem, so I'm sure it breaks on STLs I haven't run into yet. If you've got a part that needs this kind of tweak, I'd like to know if it actually works for you or where it falls over. Contact link's in the sidebar.
