openscad: Convert a file to STL.

openscad

$ openscad -o ${path-to-button-stl} ${path-to-button-scad}

try on your machine

The given command is using the software called OpenSCAD to generate a 3D model file in STL format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

openscad: This is the command to run the OpenSCAD program.
-o ${path-to-button-stl}: This is an option flag followed by a value that specifies the output file path and name. ${path-to-button-stl} should be replaced with the desired path and file name of the generated STL file.
${path-to-button-scad}: This is the input file path and name. ${path-to-button-scad} should be replaced with the actual path and file name of the OpenSCAD script file.

Overall, this command uses OpenSCAD to process the OpenSCAD script file located at ${path-to-button-scad} and generates a 3D model in the STL file format, which will be saved at ${path-to-button-stl}.
