    Thanx. It seems that the various settings need to be used with the Trial and error method, depending on the stl file is beeing used.

    Well it all depends on the orientation of the model before you save it as an stl file.

    Well, all the models seem to be properly oriented in blender at least. Seems I have to just changes axes orientation first in blender. I am not good at it and I have to make a little more work first to learn the ropes.

    Try using 3D builder on windows 10 it is much simpler.

    Glad I found this thread. Seems I am having a little bit of a hold up launching the GUI interface. Per the README it says open up the EGS-GUI.EXE application but there is no .exe file in the file I download from Github. I looked through the thread and it seems like i may need to download Python 3.5 or 2.7? I watch Sixxgun's video about 7 times now but sadly he already has the GUI interface launched so I do not see how it is actually opened if it is not just a simple double click on a .EXE file. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

    The Tactician: i cant read what the error is
    PACTARIGAR: its saying that a value that is being outputted in line 196 could not be converted into a number since its sending out a text value
    The Tactician: so i need to turn the 300 into a smaller number then 196?
    PACTARIGAR: no im saying that line 196 is giving the code a text value like a word but the code that tales that va;ue needs it in the form of a number which its having a hard time because you cant convert text into a number format without a script built into the code
    PACTARIGAR: line 196 is in the code
    PACTARIGAR: its a file or coding issue
    PACTARIGAR: i think

    I think it refers to the program's code lines. Not your size. Download again and try.

    Change the "i" to a number ? Like 1 or 1.0 ? The code could not execute because it encountered a "string" character (letter) instead of a "float" (decimal number). This "string" must have been encountered where a number should have been entered (space, comma, "", /, etc - check for these).

    i is a variable for a number the error seems to be in the line.strip().Split(" ") part

    Yes, and as is says "for "i" in line..." means in that line the "number" found was a "string". Wherever the "i" variable is in the following code has to be replaced.

    Edit : try removing the " : " after the " 1 " in the last bracket ? I'm not familiar with python script...

    Here's some info on the "split" function :
