Re: 3d printing
Ok, I had not much time to try it, but it seems to work. I have a sliced model of a house ready to print.
I will post some pics tomorrow. Printing tests have to wait until a customer project is done.
And now I'm gonna meet some friends as long as its still possible...

Re: 3d printing
Ok, this is the project: it is a shipping container house built with 6 40" and one 20" containers.

And here are 2 screenshots from Cura slicer where you can see th whole model (scaled down to 10% but there is an issue somewhere between SH3D obj export and Cura obj import) and a cut where you can see how it looks inside the model.

I used 3 boxes to fill the whole building.
For the export I selected only the building without the exterior but with all the interior.

As I allready mentioned, I have to wait with printing this project until a customer project is printed and delivered.

Re: 3d printing
Here is what I'm doing:

-choose the level you want to export;
-select all parts of the level (CTRL A );
-from the "3D View" menu choose "Export to OBJ format..."

I know Pruse slicer can open .obj file - you will have to re-size it to a value like 7% (I guess you print a small to medium design)

Repeat the above steps for each levels of your design

Re: 3d printing

I've been searching around but have only found 1 unanswered reference to exporting SH3D plans to a 3d printable format.

Is there more information on this I am missing? On a futures/request list?

Thanks!

I'm using Fusion to convert files to print on my 3d printer [moderated]. In Fusion, you can upload different files to it and the files can be easily converted to STLformat regardless of the initial format. It is able to write G-codes for any of your files.
