12. IMPORTANT! Decide the Quality of the Mesh
Adjust and refine the Mesh with
Maximum angle: 0 or 5 - 8
Maximum aspect ratio: 0 or 6 - 20
Maximum edge length: 0 or x mm
Good for avoiding long and stretched polygonsMaximum distance, edge to surface: 0.1 to 0.001
The accepted deviation between your smooth NURBS surface and a flat triangle mesh
Preview and decide to adjust one of the values and then you preview again!
Create and Preview the Mesh
Adjust until the mesh looks tight and smooth, especially on rounded areas!
13. Non silly file size!

Check that the STL-file size is below 20mb
Usually never over 50 mb
Over 100 mb is embarrassing! :)
A big and "heavy" file only makes the data handling and software calculations slower...
Next: Load the STL-file into the Roland CAM-software
