Previously the cache_service was only used in the generate_stl_cache Celery task.
All render paths (render_still, render_turntable_to_file, render_turntable_task)
only checked for a local file and converted from scratch if missing.
Changes:
- render_blender.py: add _stl_from_cache_or_convert() helper that checks MinIO
cache before falling back to local STEP→STL conversion. Wire into render_still()
and render_turntable_to_file() (both STL conversion blocks).
- domains/rendering/tasks.py: wire MinIO cache check into render_turntable_task()
inline before convert_step_to_stl(). All errors are non-fatal (falls back to
fresh conversion).
Now a STEP file converted on one worker is available to all workers via MinIO,
avoiding redundant cadquery conversions on re-renders.
