OBJ to STL Converter
Convert OBJ files to STL format for 3D printing - Free online converter
OBJ to STL Converter - Free 3D Printing Tool
Convert your OBJ files to STL format for 3D printing with our free online converter. Perfect for preparing 3D models for FDM, SLA, and other 3D printing technologies. No software installation required.
Why Convert OBJ to STL for 3D Printing?
- 3D Printer Compatibility: Most 3D printers and slicers prefer STL format
- Simplified Geometry: STL focuses purely on mesh geometry, perfect for printing
- Universal Support: STL is the standard format for 3D printing
- Smaller File Size: STL files are often smaller without texture data
- Slicer Optimization: Slicing software is optimized for STL files
OBJ vs STL for 3D Printing
OBJ Files: Great for detailed models with materials and textures, but may include unnecessary data for 3D printing.
STL Files: Optimized for 3D printing with pure geometric data. Supported by all major 3D printers and slicing software.
3D Printing Workflow: OBJ to STL
- Upload your OBJ file using the converter above
- Download the converted STL file
- Import the STL into your slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, etc.)
- Configure print settings and slice
- Send to your 3D printer and print!
💡 Pro Tip: Check your OBJ file for manifold geometry before converting. Non-manifold meshes can cause 3D printing issues even after conversion to STL.
