3D · Lesson 11 of 12Export an STL

Export Your Model

Create a simple object and export it as STL.

Tasks

  1. 1Create a simple model

- Add a box or cylinder
- Optionally use boolean to add interest

  1. 2Export as STL

- Click the Export tab in Properties panel
- Click "Export STL (Print)"
- Save the downloaded file

Why STL?

STL files can be:

  • Uploaded to 3D printing services

  • Loaded into slicer software

  • Shared with others for printing

Success Criteria

  • STL export completed

After Export

Your browser will download the STL file. You can:

  • Open it in a 3D print slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer)

  • Upload to Thingiverse or Printables

  • Send to a 3D printing service

Note: For actual printing, check dimensions match your intended size!
