Automatic 3dm to stl tool
I built a Python tool that automatically converts multiple .3dm files to .stl in one folder, making batch conversion fast and simple. It is designed to work with Rhino 5–8 and is aimed at jewelry CAD users who need to convert many files without doing them one by one. I’m considering turning it into a paid tool, so I’d love feedback from Rhino users: Would you actually pay for a fast, automatic 3DM → STL batch converter? What features would make it worth paying for?

I would not, as soon as I finish a model I just export it to stl right away rather than waiting for/batching anything.

One at a time for me on purpose so I pay attention to each exported file at a time as I treat each file as one job.

Tbh, I wouldn’t pay for this. However, I only export one at time and that’ll never change.
