converting blueprint to a stl file

[Kantiran]

Hi, i have a 3D printer and i will print my own Ships. how can I the blueprint converting to a stl file ?

[Prof. hulk]

might be able to do it through space engineers tool box

You can export the ships as .obj, I would assume any respectable 3d printer software would be able to handle them directly or convert them. If not, converters appear to be available.

Ctrl-Alt-E while looking at the ship in game.

Thank you very much

You are quite welcome Sir. Let us know how it turns out.

Let us know if you are willing to make other people's ships too!


Totally wouldn't mind a 3D version of my little hauler ship

I believe today's update spoke of improved export for 3d printers and has a link for modders to do just that.

Thanks again. Yes the video of today I have seen. But the link was not helpful. Therefore this discussion

I would recommend MeshLab to do the conversions, it seems to be the quickest to me.

MeshLab does not support sbc file

3d printing one now and found out it tires to print the inside detail as well that was a bit of a shock.
