exporting to 3D Printer?

[jozef lodeweyckx]

How can I export in the LIGHT version to a 3D printer?
Can the FULL version export to a 3D printer and how?
I would like to print in 8 colors.
How to output a .3mf file?
Do I have to color in the slicer of the 3D printer?

Hi jozef lodeweyckx - The Lite version of 3DF Zephyr has a few different export formats, h̶o̶w̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ w̶e̶ d̶o̶ n̶o̶t̶ s̶u̶p̶p̶o̶r̶t̶ .3̶M̶F̶ . The exported file (OBJ, STL, etc...) will need print preperation in a third party program (Like Blender or Meshmixer etc...) - When it comes to creating the .3MF file, here's the compatibility matrix: https://3mf.io/compatibility-matrix/

Just to clarify, you can export in .3mf in the full version of 3DF Zephyr as well as in the Lite version

Keep in mind 3mf does not support texture as well so you'll need to export a mesh not a textured mesh. This means that the free version can not export in 3mf.

Please keep in mind we do not support 3D printing directly so it is likely you'll need to use your 3D printer software for slicing / additional processing once exported the mesh.

Thanks for the clarification Andrea Alessi!
