Export Your 3D Model

Learn to export your file as a .stl ready for 3D printing.

Step 1

Export your design out as a .stl file for 3D printing.

Go to MAKE in the top menu bar and select 3D Print.

Step 2

The Output settings in 3D Print dialogue box will always default to Send to 3D Print Utility, which is a commercial online 3D printing service. Since we have access to 3D printers, make sure to untick that box. This will allow you to save as a .stl file instead. 

Check that your Mesh Refinement is set to Low and that Preview Mesh is Selected then click on your 3D model and press OK.

Step 3

Make sure to save your file as a .stl with a memorable name on the desktop.
