Description
With a simple shortcode you can enable and embed a WebGL viewer to show 3d stl files.
In the current version:
- STL files have to be uploaded to /wp-content/uploads
- The viewer can’t be used more than one time per page. This might be a feature because the viewer needs a lot of resources.
A complete description of the plugin can be found on my blog.

… but needs some config.
1. Enable .stl file upload (or any other file type or file-extension)
You have to disable FILTER upload before be able to upload an .STL file. Just add
// — allow all files to be uploaded
define('ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS', true);
somewhere in your config.php file.
2. Refer your .STL files correctly
Then make sure you refer your .STL files correctly!
If your domain is:
https://www.yourdomain.com
Your uploads will go to maybe:
https://www.yourdomain.com/uploads/2015/10/myfile.stl
So refer the stl file as:
/2015/10/myfile.stl
because https://www.yourdomain.com/uploads/ is added by the plugin itself.
3. Example:
Insert code is not documented within the plugin, which is a shame. So here it is:
[stl file="/2015/10/3dprinted-wrench.stl" /]
Hope that helps.
4. Setup Background
I was not able to set the background, which seems to be just a black color by default.
There is a way within the plugin to setup a tile (image) but it did not work correctly. (Just a small stripe is shown.)
I did try:
[stl file="myfile.stl" background="#f8f8f8" /]
but does not seems to work for me.
Question
If someone knows how to setup Background color (mono, fix), or tile image, please let me know!
