I want to 3D print some Alleg ships for fun, starting with IC int.

How do I export Alleg models to current 3D object files? (.MDL to .STL or .OBJ or other that I can slice after)

Do I have to download Milkshake and AMT plugin?

This Wiki page says at the bottom that there are new tools, which are those tools?

Are these the new tools?

Just off memory I would recommend milkshake plus amt plug in. Export as .obj or .x or whatever you need from there. It will likely export as multiple meshes and you will want to join them for printing purposes. You will also have to delete the joints and cvh meshes.

Haha I was doing the google search in parallel.

After playing around with the model and slicing, IC int printing right now. Don't expect the fins to come out too detailed.

Will post pictures.

Small print
Length: 32 mm
Span: 30 mm
Height: 12 mm

The wings/stabilizers were too thin and partially broke. Will need to play around the model and slicing to fix. Probably also print it bigger for easier print.

If I send you a clean draconium model will you try it? I made mine in blender and are probably a little cleaner from a file standpoint
