perf: replace Three.js STLExporter with direct binary writer

Write binary STL directly from BufferGeometry typed arrays using
Uint8Array.set() bulk copies. Eliminates the Three.js STLExporter
overhead: no Mesh/Material creation, no identity matrix multiplication,
no redundant normal recomputation, no per-float DataView calls.
