Preparing Maya files to stl format for 3D Printing

[@johnwinters]

There is an stl plug in in the plug in manager you can turn on so you can just export out as an stl and not have to convert it on any website.

[@gabrielmikowski3169]

Confirmed! Its called the .stltranslator plugin under the plug-in bar under the windows tab.

@@gabrielmikowski3169 but this plug-in is only on Maya 2019 version. :/

how about correcting the normals AND making sure that all joins are connected to complete a manafold!!! this is two of the biggest issues when 3D printing and design!!!

Great video

Very helpful ty!!

Error: Conversion failed for all permutations. It is very likely that the problem is rooted at the input file(s) (either the format is not supported as advertised or the files were malformed). Please check back later - this service is constantly improving as bugs get fixed and new formats added.

My scale is all wrong and idk how to fix it.

[@thebigv5573]

for a 3d printing does your topology on the model need to be perfect? I mean if you have some tris here and there will it print normal or it will have issues?

[@sabrinaflipse7732]

using Maya 2019 got this error: An error occured: File extension rejected, not a recognized 3d model (please do not upload textures, there is no need to) All I did was try to export a primitive sphere. I didn't try doing anything crazy. saved as obj like you did.

[@pamelacvillegasp_multimedi4843]

same thing happened to me.

[@mrgamegirl2011]

I got an error message while trying to convert. Do you know why that might be?

[@GiorgiGvimradze1]

next time try to not forget to write down the error itself, to let others help you.
