2D print of .stl?

How can I paper print a view of my 3D designs? I think I should already know this... but I don't.
Thanks!

 

1d1 I use screen shots to get pictures of my design this then saves a file an image file to your computer. If you have a mac you can used shift command 4 and you can select the area you wish to screenshot, if on windows you can use the print screen. Here is an example of what I mean. Hope that helps

 

In many 3D apps you can export to a 2D format. Go to file then either save as or export. See what options you have in the app your using.

 

Thanks, guys.
No luck, though... When I try to print screen (PC) I get the page with no object upon it. Hmmm.
My save file format options include: .stl, .VRML colors, .obj, .X3D colors and .svg (laser cutting) all of which, I believe, are 3D applications. Is there, perhaps a translation program out there?

 

Oh yes, in the free Tinkercad... I shall check their site and see if the uprated versions have this feature.

 

So you are using a web based program? If so that may be the reason the programming may not work with screen captures. Most likely you won't have an option to export to jpg I dont think I've seen that on any 3D programs. Just did a quick google search for ya on windows screen capture, try this;

No, can't go to .pdf either. But I'll try Mike's handy snippet (yes, poun intended...) Thanks, Mike!

 

Uh, PUN intended - damn typist.

 

Yay, Mike! It works and is also something I never knew Windows had.

 

Glad you got it to work!
