Export selected objects to multiple stl in a single export

Hi. I was building an assembly of about 30 objects in Maya, intended for 3D-printing and I noticed that I can’t seem to export the individual objects in the scene into separate stl files in a single export session. So now I have to select each object and export one by one.

It would be a really useful feature to be able to export a single scene into separate object files.

Combine all objects and export. Else Maya does not have any other ways. Maya is not a program which supports stl types of files. You  will better off with 3dsMax

To export STLs you need stlTranslator.mll plugin, this you have figured already. If you do a little scriptin' this might give you a direction what to start with https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-programming/import-export-batch/td-p/4019845
