Hello, I am brand new here, and only 3 weeks involved in the Lego scene. After building a Lego Crocodile for my grandson, I studied a little bit on possibilities to motorize it. So I found Bricklink Studio, and designed already some train models. And as many other enthousiast I missed some essential parts, as thin rods for instance. Well I know you can buy them at Non Lego suppliers, but I want them also use them as digital parts in Bricklink Studio.
As experienced CAD designer I can make my own parts, and even print them on 3D FDM or Resin printers. I usually use Onshape, a very good and fully free online CAD program for hobbyists. See: https://www.onshape.com/en/products/free
So this week my question was, can I converse my part designs from Onshape to a digital part in Bricklink Studio. And I found Ldraw and stl2dat. In Onshape you can export parts to .STL in txt or binary format. As unit you can choose for mm. My question is, is that correct for a proper conversion?
