Neil Woodhouse Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Greetings, Is there a plugin out there that allows me to export max files out as .STL? I've done some 3D prod design work and the client wants them running to a 3D printer. Any ideas, Cheers Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrawli Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You should be able to export as an Stl directly from max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Woodhouse Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 How embarrassing. You are absolutely correct. I didn't scroll down far enough on the drop down list for file types. Shows what happens when you rush. Problem solved. Thank You. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic H Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 do a stl check (modifier) before you export to check for mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Woodhouse Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Interesting. I've just run the STL modifier on this and found it has 1012 errors. Where can i see what these errors are and how do i cure them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrawli Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 No problem have a few of these moments everyday. The other half gets stuff prototyped quite a bit and says Iges files are good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
