Create an ASCII STL file from a THREE.js mesh 
that can be saved save from browser and 3D printed
--------------------------------------------------
See further explanation here:
http://buildaweso.me/project/2013/2/25/converting-threejs-objects-to-stl-files
--------------------------------------------------
Saving the file out of the browser is done using FileSaver.js
find that here: https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js
