   Hey #3Dprinting folks, I have a file format question for you. I'm thinking about setting up a little site to act as a portfolio for my 3D designs and prints, with easily editable files alongside STLs and instructions. Do you have an opinion on what "source" file format I should include? I use Rhino 3D and my work tends to end up in .3dm files - does your modeler of choice open those? Screenshots below list every file format I can export to easily. @3dprinting@techhub.social @3dprinting@a.gup.pe

     @timixretroplays STL+Collada is probably the most universal set of formats, in my experience

     @foone huh, apparently Rhino can *export* to Collada (.dae) files, but not *import* them without the help of expensive commercial converters. That might be out as an option (although it sounded promising).
