Exporting your design
Our last step is to get this ready and formatted for 3D printing. So first of all, I think I'm going to turn this around so that the bottom is down, holding the Shift key to keep it snapping in 45 degree increments. And then I'm going to use that ruler tool. Click on this and what I want to do is I want to bring the bottom of my piece onto the build platform. So I'm going to click on this value over here and change it to 0. And then I'm going to dismiss the ruler tool. Okay. So it's in the correct position. And now all I need to do is download the STL. So I'll go to the design menu at the top, and download for 3D printing. I'm going to choose to download an STL. Note that my downloaded STL file appears in my download bar, and I'm ready to move on to the next step.
