Hi @ccstreib ,

 

STLOUT command works only with solids or watertight meshes.

There is no solids or watertight meshes in your drawing, so AutoCAD cannot create STL file from the objects in this drawing.

Hi Maxim_k thanks for the response. Is there anyway to make the file
compatible with 3d printing?

Best wishes

Cody,

 

I converted your drawing to STL with Rhino for Mac, as it can export open objects to STL.

Not sure if the resulting STL will be compatible with 3D Printing device.

See attached STL, it is in binary format.
