💖 pdf-slices(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to pdf-slices, a little script from the Slic3r manual page family that takes your 3D model and yeets it into a PDF as slices. no cap, it's giving "I made this in 2014 and it still eats." 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

pdf-slices — export model slices to a PDF file as solid infills, one per page 🌸

like, that's literally the whole vibe. solid infills, one per page, no skips. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

pdf-slices [ OPTIONS ] file.stl

so you pass it your file.stl and maybe some OPTIONS if you're feeling fancy. that's it, that's the whole invocation. ✨

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

pdf-slices is a script which exports slices of a 3D model into a PDF file as 2D slices with solid infill, one per page.

that's the whole lore, bestie. you feed it a 3D model, it hands you back a PDF where each page is a slice, and every slice is filled in solid — not hollow, not sketchy, solid. one slice per page, no doubling up. it's honestly so organized of it. 👑

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --help — prints this usage screen for you and then exits. the classic "help me I'm lost" move, and it works every time. 🫶
  • --output, -o — write to the file you specify. you tell it where the PDF goes, it goes there. main character energy for real. 💖
  • --layer-height, -h — use the layer height you specify. you pick the number, it slices at that number. periodt. 🌸
ngl there are only three options here and honestly? iconic. minimal, focused, unbothered. 🧚

this page came from the Slic3r crew — June 2014, if you're keeping track of the timeline 💜 — and that's the whole tea. go slice something cute. 🎀✨🦋
