Plug track with Linux

Trevor · 9 October 2023

Hello,
I have been trying 3D plug track on my Linux machines but have hit the bufferes when it comes to the bit where using 3D-Tool-Free is required. Templot works fine using wine but 3D-Tool-Free causes an error as shown. I was wondering if 3D-Tool-Free needs to go online in order to work. If so it is unable to because it is running in wine. Does it need a windows compatible browser to be available in wine so it can run?

Hi Trevor,

3D-Tool is not required. You can choose to use any program which will render STL files visible as a preview.

Click the edit button to change to a different program:

Of course there is no actual requirement to preview your STL file before exporting, you can simply export it and view it in your slicer, or wherever you wish.

More important than a preview is the mesh-fix. You may be able to do that in your slicer, or alternatively you can use a (free) online service, such as:

cheers,
