STL Tools v0.8.0
v8 (0.8.0) - 2026-11-06
Changed: assemblies: generators can return parts that fit together, shown "Assembled" (one color per part) or as a print plate in the 3D view; new servo-gimbal (pan-tilt on 9 g to MG996R servos: base, pan bracket, camera arm with FPV cheeks / tripod plate) and brushless-gimbal (roll + tilt frame for a SimpleBGC 2-axis controller: damper top plate, roll arm, camera cage) with 6 presets (MG996R and SimpleBGC linked to My Parts; unknown sizes left to measure). Per-part print estimate table under the 3D view: size, quantity, time, grams and metres, layers, bed fit, STL link, totals. Projects: "Show parts, print times and 3D assembly" builds every part, shows the per-part table and a 3D view where each item can be moved and turned (saved with the project); the ZIP README lists time and grams per STL. Simple / All settings switch in the designer (main sizes only, or everything) and a "Make something" row on Home for quick parts. End-to-end test of generation and export for all 48 generators (API STL and ZIP downloads parsed back, CLI files).
Fixed: the Shop sub-tab handler took over other sub-tab buttons; My Parts row style squashed the project part cards.
Untested: both gimbals as printed parts (servo and horn sizes vary: measure; check tilt clearance in the Assembled view), brushless gimbal balance and motor fit, the project 3D view on a Raspberry Pi.
