The only appropriate app I have at present is the free Meshmixer by Autodesk. It
has lots of mesh-repair tools for .stl files and other kinds of meshes, but I
have not yet learned how to use many of those features. And it can re-export the
file as .stl again. It hasn't been updated since 2021(?) but is still available.
There are a lot of instructional websites and videos out there for newbies; I
need to take a look myself.

Simplest way for Windows seem to be 3D Builder from Microsoft Store - it
does complain about some stl files and promises to fix them.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be forced to say the reason for
complains, neither it does seem to export text stl, only binary one,
which I cannot understand, so I can't understand what happened.
So I'm also rather interested in seeing some stl validator/fixer,
preferrably small, and verbose enough for me to understand what's going on.

Thanks TOR and Kenneth - I tried Meshmixer, and other than being a bit fussy and
non-intuitive, I think I managed to get it to work.
We'll see what the guy with the 3D printer says. ;)

Hi Kenneth,
I don't have much to say since I never got into 3D printing, but that final
result looks very good! It's amazing you can take something modeled in POV-Ray
and print it into the real world like that.
Have you tried using gyroid infills? Some people really like them.
