      What file formats should I look for when downloading 3D video game models for printing?

        I quickly learned how important it is to choose the right file format. Most 3D printers work best with stl files for 3d printing, since they’re widely supported and specifically designed for accurate slicing and reliable output. I started using Gambody because it focuses on high-quality models adapted for SLS, SLA, and FDM printers. The files are usually tested and come with instructions, which saved me a lot of troubleshooting. Formats like OBJ or FBX can work for animation or rendering, but for physical prints, STL is usually the way to go. Gambody also offers a helpful community and detailed print settings, which made it easier to avoid failed prints. I’d recommend checking the specs of your printer and making sure the model files are optimized before printing.

          The most common and reliable format is STL, which works with most slicers and printers. OBJ is also popular, especially if you want to keep color or texture data, but it’s less commonly used for basic printing. Always check if the file is watertight and ready to slice.
