Well, it may be obvious to a FreeCAD guru that one should only use the Mesh WB to creates STLs. It was not at all obvious to me, and evidently (from the number of hits in Google) to very many others, that using that extra step rather than the very obvious "Export" entry in the File menu wo...

Sigh. Yes, but how would they know to ask that specific question if they have no idea the Mesh Format setting exists? The usual question is simply along the lines of "How do I change the STL resolution", and this thread is the first and only place I've seen an answer involving the Mesh For...

Sure, I can see that the Mesh WB provides finer control and I've not disputed that. I know once you tell me so. But it's not at all obvious that, having designed a perfectly well defined part or set of parts using the Parts WB, anyone should not use the obvious export function but instead add anothe...

@Mongrel_Shark Thank you! My slicer (Cura) can import FreeCAD .FCstd files but occasionally gets them slightly wrong, so exporting STL is the fix. However I was frustrated by STL files that printed with visible triangles - quite pretty on some curved surfaces but terrible for functional parts. Like ...
