Re: 3d printing
The only format that SH3D can export is OBJ. If that format cannot be used directly to make a 3D print, you might want to look for a conversion program online.
Use this search phrase: "how to convert obj format for 3d printer" And you will find relevant information.

Re: 3d printing
The file format is the smallest of the problems for 3d printing an SH3D project. The most important one are the thin walls! If you scale the object down to fit on a 3d printer, the walls are that thin, they can not be printed anymore...

Re: 3d printing
... or somehow "fill in" the interior so it is solid?
Man, this could be a relatively easy solution. Especially for a only rectangular house. We can fill the whole house with a box or with boxes. You just have to align them exactly to the outer perimeters of every glas (windows, glas doors...).
Thanks for this idea, I will try this in the future (maybe in the near future thanks to corona...).
