Share your 3D design renders on Facebook
Did you know you could now upload your 3D designs directly to Facebook as “3D Posts”?
Facebook have just released a feature allowing its users to share 3D designs by converting their STL files into gITF 2.0 format.
Wondering how to convert your STL file to a GBL file for a 3D post on Facebook?
No more struggle! MyMiniFactory have just made that easier by enabling users to upload their 3D design renders onto Facebook with just one click.
With this new feature, you only need to:
Go to the object page
Click on Object Parts
Click on the Facebook Icon
Post it!
It’s that easy.
When we heard the news that Facebook had introduced the 3D post feature, we had to learn how to do it. With a platform so packed of incredible 3D designs, so we would be silly not to right? While trying it out for ourselves we realised how difficult it can be to export files as GBL. So, we decided to make it easier for everyone, and integrated the “Share as a Facebook 3D post” on MyMiniFactory to allow you to easily show how the world what you or your favourite designers are capable of.
The “Share as a Facebook 3D Post” feature allows Facebook users to rotate, turn and play around with MyMiniFactory 3D printable objects, and allows them to see objects from a 3D perspective. This has created a new, fun and interactive form of content for users and companies alike.
This feature is essential, as it allows users who do not have 3D printers to interact with 3D objects and to bring 3D Printing and design to a mainstream market. Designers can also share an object in a 3D post as a way to demonstrate the intricate design techniques or internal channels that they may have created.
We are the first 3D content sharing platform to have integrated “Share as a Facebook 3D Post” in our platform, allowing users who upload objects to MyMiniFactory to directly share their designs as a 3D post on Facebook. Users are already using the feature as a way to encourage their favourite designers or to show off their latest designs and we will carry on encouraging them to do so.
