### Direct STL export ### Direct STL export
`Polyhedron.render_stl()` exports a Polyhedron object into STL directly. [`Polyhedron.render_stl()`](https://csirmaz.github.io/openscad-py/polyhedron.html#openscad_py.polyhedron.Polyhedron.render_stl)
exports a Polyhedron object into STL directly.
This works well with `tube()`, `torus()`, `from_heightmap()` and `PathTube` described above. This works well with `tube()`, `torus()`, `from_heightmap()` and `PathTube` described above.
