I would also like to use AC3D with my 3D printer. I don't want to use shapeways as I have my own printer. What I think I need to be able to do is to be able to recreate the 3D models using a macro language, so I can use mathematics to adjust everything accurately. I need a text based version of what I am doing on screen so when I drag a cube on the screen it creates an entry in a macro window such as
cuboid(10,10,10). I would then like to be able play back the macro to recreate my object and the finally export it as an STL file.
