Just a cautionary observation.

It's difficult or impossible to predict the end user's use of a model or the
precision they need.

Is it possible to have the user select the desired precision before conversion?
Can a file size be estimated based on the number of vertices and the selected
precision?

Hard-coding magic numbers doesn't seem like the way to go if it isn't to
difficult to make everything adjustable.
