    Howdy!

    Would y'all please make .stl an accepted file type for uploading? It is a very common 3d printing file type. Much more universal than the .sldprt filetype.

    Here is a thread where it would have been useful to be able to upload .stl files:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/anyone-custom-3d-print.782192/

    Once the design is perfected, I will start a
    "Share your 3D Print Files!" thread and it would be beneficial to a wider range of members if we could share .stl files in addition to .sldprt files. Don't get me wrong I really do appreciate being able to upload .sldprt files as SolidWorks is the program I design in and the .sldprt filetype is easiest for me to manipulate.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    Have an excellent day,

    Herc
