I can open and rotate STL files merely by selecting the file on my Mac and pressing the Spacebar for QuickLook, but how are STP files viewed?

you could use prusa slicer to watch the files

Ibook G3 battery pack
Oh, found another one, this one is tricky to print, and im not 100% happy with it but it is the Ibook G3 battery pack shells, i have assembled a pack like this and it does all fit, but it is not as strong as i want it to be.

i forgot the STP file there, so i have added it. IPT is for inventor

actually, this was not supposed to get posted yet, i will mend it today once i found the correct files

it might be that STL files are natively supported and STP files are not, i generally use Linux, so i would not know

Hmmm.... The Mac version doesn't want to let me import STP...

If you cannot create an STL file (which all modern Macs support on the OS level), then perhaps you could post it to Printables, since that site has a built-in viewer, as you can see in this example...
