Writes a stereolithography (STL) file that can be used in 3D printing.
save_3dprint(filename, maxwidth = 125, unit = "mm", rotate = FALSE)Arguments
- filename
String with the filename. If `.stl` is not at the end of the string, it will be appended automatically.
- maxwidth
Default `125`. Desired maximum width of the 3D print in millimeters. Uses the units set in `unit` argument. Can also pass in a string, "125mm" or "5in".
- unit
Default `mm`. Units of the `maxwidth` argument. Can also be set to inches with `in`.
- rotate
Default `TRUE`. If `FALSE`, the map will be printing on its side. This may improve resolution for some 3D printing types.
Value
Writes an STL file to `filename`. Regardless of the unit displayed, the output STL is in millimeters.
