They might be interested to know that I wrote a
Blender STL file format export script a long time ago
(I have a 3D printer at work too):

http://www.ualberta.ca/~cwant/blender/stl.py

It is my hope to find time to write a full-fledged
export option for this within blender, with the hopefull
goal of creating a plugin style template for import/export
code (but this might be something I leave to my future
children to work on, due to lack of time).
