Tip: SketchUp isn’t inherently built for model production therefore it’s useful to check your SketchUp file for additional feature accuracies once it’s exported from the interface.

Select Tools > Export to DXF or STL and select the units for your model (millimeters is recommended).

STL here (note: this plugin is open-source and updated frequently). SketchUp does not offer STL creation directly within the program.

Its interface was created with 3D printing in mind. Tinkercad is great for 3D printing simple geometrical objects. You can also just load your native CAD into our online quoting tool to get instant pricing! The CAD softwares covered below:ĭon't have CAD software? SolidView is an affordable solution for non-CAD users to prepare STL files from many popular CAD formats. If your CAD software is not listed below or if you require additional assistance, please contact your CAD software technical support for information about exporting to an STL. The following step-by-step instructions for converting CAD files to STL came from each CAD software company’s website or from 3D printing and design user forums it’s an overall simplified step-by-step process from the greater 3D printing community. We’ve compiled tips on exporting for the best “surface: file” size ratio below. These are the parameters that affect the faceting of the STL. When exporting to STL in your CAD package, you may see parameters for chord height, deviation, angle tolerance, poly count, or something similar.

Simply sign-in, upload your CAD file(s), make your desired selections, click order, and get parts as fast as 2 days! These are the parts you can print yourself.Your other option is to skip the process below as we offer instant quoting using just your native CAD file. R# - Parts that can be found at Prusa Research profile at PrusaPrinters, Prusa3D site or our Github.C# D# - MK3S/MK3S+ parts produced in our 3D printing farm, which are sent to our customers with Kits or pre-assembled printers.To know the origin of our printable parts, we are using naming which always starts with an alphabetical letter and is followed by a number: This also includes metal parts.įor the MK-series you simply select the branch for the machine you are after and navigate to the file. For that reason, for all parts designed with OpenSCAD, there are only SCAD files and no STEP-files available. Some parts were designed using OpenSCAD, where SCAD files are the project files you can edit. Project files (STEP/SCAD) are only available in the Github branch/tree where they were initially released.
