STEP files into LDraw

Hi,

I think that trying a STL->LDRAW conversion is overkill here.

It is by far easier to create that part from scratch manually, putting together some simple subfiles.
I've done this for your suggested "Technic Baseplate 21x30", please see the attachment of this post.

When subfiling a little more granular, one can easily compose other XxY dimensions.

Have fun!

EDIT: oh, this was a cross-post with Tim :-)) maybe Philo will base his tooling on this first sketch :-))

EDIT 2: hmm, while looking at your kickstarter project for this, I don't really get it why you would need 11.000 $ to
do this thing: why don't you just buy some Technic bars, fixate them with some other technic bars,
then simply glue them together, then remove the fixation, and thus get a "Technic Baseplate"?
This would by far be cheaper, and you wouldn't have
the precision problems and so on. For 11.000 $, you can buy _a lot_ of Technic bars to glue together.

EDIT 3: ah, you want to manufacture other parts as well, and this fundraising is for the initial setup, right? hmm.....
