For some odd reason I can't export as .STL
I did it a week ago. 
I've got no clue.

Hello,
It has changed to "Save as Mesh" and includes the option for STL and 3MF.

I found an app on the app store called Fyenite that exports to STL. I've been using it to export multiple files at the same time.  It has saved me a lot of time. Just thought I'd mention it.

Good Luck!

I do not see this option on the shortcut tree menu, or in the main file menu.

I see it in File > Export >stl as an option. I did not see this when I checked earlier. My apologies.

Hi,

if it should be STL I would choose the option "Binary"

Hi,

If you want to export a single component as STL you have to save it using "Save as".
Open this "file" and go to File > Export and select STL as format.

When I use the 'Save Mesh' or '3D print' and select Cura in the 3D Print Utility, I'm now unable to send as an STL. Only an 3MF. This has only just happened today. This morning the Format was SLT Binary but this afternoon the option has been greyed out and the default is 3MF.

Is this a Cushion thing or a Cura thing?

If I select a different slicer I can change the Format.
