Hi,
I'm getting extremely frustrated I can't save my files as .stl (I have version 5); I can't find or follow how to save these files (I don't understand computers very well and all of the jargon, is there someone that can explain in layman's terms)
I want to use Simplify3D to print my model but can only send it to CURA. Can you send an update, so I can save my files as .stl
Thanks
Rob
Hi Rob,
The Export Menu offers an Export to STL that can be used.
Look at settings for control of facets before exporting.
