Hey everyone, welcome back to another 123D Make tutorial. Today, we're going to address a common question: Can 123D Make export OBJ to STL files? Let's get right into it.

123D Make is a great tool for creating 3D models, but one of the limitations is its ability to directly export OBJ to STL files. OBJ (Object) and STL (Stereolithography) are both popular file formats for 3D printing, so it's understandable why this is a frequent query.

So, is there a way to work around this limitation? The answer is yes! While 123D Make doesn't have a direct export feature for OBJ to STL, you can use other software to achieve this. One approach is to use a different 3D modeling program that supports both OBJ and STL, such as Blender or MeshLab, to convert the file format.

Here are the steps to do this:

1. Open your OBJ file in a program like Blender or MeshLab.

2. Once the OBJ file is loaded, go to the export options and choose STL as the output format.

3. Save the file with the .stl extension.

By following these steps, you can effectively convert your OBJ file into an STL file that is compatible with 3D printing. This workaround allows you to take advantage of 123D Make's design capabilities and then use another program to export the file in the desired format.

Keep in mind that while this method works, it may result in some loss of information, particularly if the original OBJ file contains complex geometry or textures. It's always a good idea to double-check the converted STL file to ensure that it meets your expectations before proceeding with 3D printing.

In conclusion, 123D Make doesn't have a direct feature to export OBJ to STL files, but you can use other software to perform this conversion. By utilizing programs like Blender or MeshLab, you can seamlessly convert your 3D models and prepare them for 3D printing.

So there you have it, the answer to whether 123D Make can export OBJ to STL files. I hope this tutorial was helpful, and if you have any other questions about 123D Make or 3D printing, feel free to leave a comment below. Thanks for watching!
