File support for 3d printing

I agree regarding FBX, but OBJ is a relative printing format. For example, a lot of people who do 3d printing use Meshmixer to prepare models, and OBJ is one of the default model types it can accept. Also, many people use SLS printing and upload to services like Shapeways. Again, OBJ is acceptable there. I think OBJ, STL, PLY, VRML (for color prints), WRL, and AMF or 3MF are the most commonly accepted file types. Obviously, STL is the most common by far, but the only one that doesn't make sense for printing is really FBX.

I get that OBJs can be used, I mostly just want any presupported lychee files I upload to actually count toward my models publishing score. Its silly to me that a duplicate file with a new extension matters more than a different file with different content.

OBJ format support some 3d printers .

They should clean up all the garbage first, sometimes I get impression that everything is 3d printable here on cgt no matter what it is.
