Written walkthrough

Ünflat models 3D print really well: they’re solid, watertight, and chunky, with no thin walls to fail. Here’s the whole path from app to object.

1. Export the .glb

Export the .glb . Color doesn’t matter for printing, so you can leave the paint chip off. Geometry is all the printer needs.

2. Open it in your slicer

Most slicers (Cura, Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer) import .glb or .gltf directly. If yours only takes .stl, run the .glb through a free online converter first. Scale it to the size you want on the plate.

3. Orient and add supports

Sit the flattest face on the bed. Ünflat’s soft, rounded forms usually need only light supports. Turn on tree/organic supports if your printer offers them.

4. Print it

Slice, send it to the printer, and go. Because the mesh is one closed solid, it’s a forgiving print, a great first model if you’re new to 3D printing.
