FINDING A 3D MODEL
Every 3D print starts with a 3D model. If you design a 3D model yourself, export it from your
3D modeling application in STL or OBJ format. If you don’t have a 3D model, download one
from Thingiverse, either through the website at Thingiverse.com or through the Explore
view in MakerBot Desktop.
