Since Gene and I are both  nonagenariand use a sensible OS. Perhaps this is a suitable solution:

find . -name "*.stl" -exec fstl {} ;

TL;DR
I'd argue the sensible part a bit, every new distro makes it as hard as
they can to setup
a /etc/hosts file based local dns, totally messing up the network setup
with each new
release.  I bought a new bigger printer in oct 25, and just last week
found and killed
the last of the hidden all over hell pieces of avahi that insisted the
first route used
was the dummy avahi.  That kills dns flatter than roadkill cuz it
doesn't NAT.

A PITA  When I've been using a block in the middle of the non-routeable
192.168.xx.yy
block for my home net for 30+ years. I use a router reflashed with
dd-wrt. Hackers
get bounced instantly.

Banking is married to windows as their MBA's must have someone to sue
when it goes
sideways.

I've had banking techs try to get into my computer with their windows
tools, to "fix it".
 I sit and watch the router logs with a grin that hurts my ears until I
get bored as they
get an education about linux security.  Those bankers, TPTB don't know
their techs
have been using linux as backend servers for many years just to get some
uptime.

find . -name "*.stl" -exec fstl {} ;

I keep all my .scad files in a subdir of /home/me/3d.stf, so that looks
like too broad a search.
