Uploading a model
Each design has one model, uploaded on the Design tab. When a design has several sizes or styles with their own geometry, the model is uploaded per size or per style instead; see Sizes and prices and Styles.
Which file to upload
| Format | Parts and colours | Print file | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3MF from Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer | Each object becomes a part | Your project is reused as-is, recoloured per order | Recommended |
| Other 3MF | Each object becomes a part | Rebuilt from the geometry | Plates and print settings are not kept |
| STL | One part | Rebuilt from the geometry | |
| GLB | Parts from the file's meshes | Needs a separate production file | Preview only |
Export the 3MF from your slicer with the model exactly as you print it: one object per part, assembled or on their plates, with your print settings applied. Mouldr shows customers the parts in their assembled positions and keeps your project for the print file.
Separate production file
If the model you want customers to see differs from the file you print, for example a lighter preview model, upload the printable file under Production file. Mouldr then uses it for orders and the model only for the preview.
Previews
After an upload Mouldr converts the model into an optimised preview for the designer. Large models take a moment; the designer uses the original until the optimised preview is ready.
Size limit
Uploads are limited to about 35 MB per file. Reduce the mesh in your slicer or modelling tool if a file is larger.
