OpenSCAD is particularly good for jobs like this. You can import an stl and do an intersection with a “cube” to get the part you want.

OpenSCAD is script based, so does have a little bit of a learning curve, but it’s an excellent tool to have in your toolbox.

It requires it’s own partition to not have issues. It can see into your windows partition however, if required.

I can believe you missed openSCAD off the list! Most early 3d printers were designed in it.

Good work otherwise. 👍

A desiccant (silica) based dehumidifier and a print tent, or other small enclosure would work fine. They output warm, dry air, and dump the water into a tank at the bottom. They are also small enough to fit in a small enclosure.

This sort has the advantage of actually lowering the moisture content of the air, not just raising the temperature to reduce the effective humidity.

A full-on air-conditioning unit in dehumidifier mode would also work, but would be massively overkill. The mini units work far better for smaller areas.

The reprap movement was exactly that. A self replicating rapid prototyper. While it never reached true replication, it got close enough to cause an explosive growth of the community. That, in turn led to the huge number of low cost suppliers and designs we have now.
