Hello @asymmetric,

I had success with this at the time:

> OBJExport is available in the Processing 3 libraries with examples and it is working for me: I created a Mobius strip rotating and translating boxes. Exported it as an OBJ file. Imported it into Prusa Splicer. 3D printed it with my new Prusa MK3S. This is just a draft print.slight_smile

There are OBJ to STL convertors out there. A Google search will find these.
