01 / overview

Why it exists

A fabrication workflow for moving from an existing printable model to something that can be understood, adjusted, and made useful for a specific object or space.

02 / build file

The useful distinction

A printable file and an editable design are not the same thing. This project captures the search for a workflow that keeps the model understandable.

03 / build file

Evidence still needed

A real before-and-after model, exported file, and successful print will turn this from a workflow note into a stronger project page.

The project is about finding an editable design path rather than treating every downloaded STL as a finished endpoint.
