How to convert "SLICED", stl or obj files to JPEG or jpg file?

I was wondering if a sliced .stl file (or any other 3 D file) can be converted to JPEG or jpg or similar file, so that we can print on a desk jet, inkjet or similar printers.

Hello syed, If you are going for a 3DP/powder bed printer then I would check out this link. http://ytec3d.com/plan-b/ . This is a printer similar to what you are looking to do. Nate

Thank you very much Nate. I appreciate your help and going out of way to help me. It looks like this printer is what I want to convert an inkjet printer. It says it will cost Euro 1000/= which seems to…

Thanks again. I need a lot of info to carry out the project.

Jonathan Keep has demonstrated, how to make a ceramic 3 D printer. I was wondering, if I make one what quality will it make? If I try to make a statue or miniature of a person, will it print the facial details?

Jonathan's ceramic printer will get relatively good resolution for extruding paste. You wouldn't get nearly as much detail as a FDM/FFF. What are looking to print in ceramic. You might want to check out filament such a Lay-Ceramic http://www.makergeeks.com/laclba3dfi.html.

I was planning to make miniature statues with Jonathan Keep ceramic printer. I believe we will achieve better results if we use DOSING pump instead of air pressure to move paste. With a dosing pump We can push the paste through a smaller nozzle to achieve better results. The dosing pump can help us control the flow better.

I will ask Jonathan to carry out the test as well.

Adafruit has a peristaltic pump that might work for you.

You could use Blender it's self to take the STL or OBj files then do a render to get the .JPG

There's a bit of a procedure to go through for the STL but I believe it's googlable last time we tried the out put from a 3D scanner into Blender
