I've spend lots of time looking for a solution to easily view the STL file previews in windows and could never find a viable option.I have finally found an easy way to do this.Download and install the Marlin 3d printer tool http://www.marlin3dprintertool.se/Lates ... erTool.msi Run it, or just go to the installation folder and run the file called Marlin3DprinterToolStlConfiguration.exeClick on Install and Register STL Thumbnail. Click on Color on STL and change that to gray or else it will be a hard to see blue color.You can click on Restart Windows File Explorer but it may not be necessary.That's it.Now in Windows File Explorer you can see all the STL files in the folders rendered as thumbnails. It makes it extremely easy to find STL files without having to open them one at a time.Note: Depending on the size of the STL files in a given folder, it make take some time to generate all the thumbnails.
