The files in the STEMFIE construction set are named according to the structure described below:

Beam STR ESS BU05x01x01 - SPN-BEM-0042 (stemfie.org).stl

Part type Structure Variations Dimension - Unique STEMFIE Part Number (Project Home URL).filetype

• Part type

  • Describes the type of part, such as being a beam, brace, fastener, spring, etc.

• Structure Variations

  • These abbreviations define variations of the type of part, such as how the ends are square or rounded; if there is a joint, etc.

• Dimension

  • The dimension defines the size of the part, described in the number (or fractions) of STEMFIE block units (BU = 12.5 mm). The usual order is Length x Width x Height x Variations; it contains values with trailing extra zeros for clear listing in file folders. Some part dimensions may describe the size in mm.

• Unique STEMFIE Part Number

  • This number is the unique identifier for any STEMFIE part (SPN) or STEMFIE project set (SPS).

• Project Home URL

  • This URL helps users find the home port of the STEMFIE project.

• Filetype

  • The trailing extension defines the type of file; such as .stl, stepz, .step, .FCStd, .svg, .pdf, etc.
