Automatically add the version number to the .STL file name that is created

Automatically add the version number to the .STL file name that is created

When generating the STL file for printing a 3D part, I like to include the version number in the filename so that I can match it up later to easily print another copy of a part. It would be nice if there was an option to automatically include the version number when generating the filename.

Additionally it would be great to have the components name (if exported from a component) beeing used as the STLs filename preset.

I agree with Helmi74 too.

This would be super useful!

Right now when you export an STL via the 3D-print utility straight to Cura and save it to your SD-card it generates a filename which looks something like this: "d866eead-9cb3-444a-82d5-e03202bd7d97". When you have 20+ of these files on your SD-card this becomes pure madness...
Component name (with optional version number) would be much more convient.

I ran across this exact same thing!

 

Perhaps there could be a config that allows you to specify the default name.  And you could do something like:

 

%body-%version

%filename-%body-%version

 

%component-%version
