Goal

Created a manifest of the STL files.

Introduction

The delivery of my LDO Voron Trident consisted of 2 boxes which I picked up at the West3D store on 2/1/2026 and the parts which were ordered to be printed and shipped to me which I received 2/23/2026. Included with the parts shipment were 14 printed pages of an HTML table ("Parts List"). The provenance of the 14 page document is unknown to me. I later learned the HTML of this workflow at: https://home.wizards-enclave.net/ "Automated configurator generation for 3D printing" which does something similar.

Any rate, my starting point for what was needed for my build is the Parts List. I was given the HTML file and from there extracted the STL file names and paths to create a manifest ("Manifest"). This exercise takes you through the steps of distilling the Parts List into a Manifest using a Perl script.

Prerequisites

The digital HTML file used to generate the Parts List. Perl and these additional packages: HTML::TableExtract
