The Export... window.

The File export options dialog box which allows the user to export the model in one of several formats.

Export as STL

Saves the model(s) currently in 3D View as its own .stl model file.

Export as AMF

Saves the model(s) currently in 3D View as its own .amf model file.

Export as G-Code

Slices the model(s) currently in 3D View using the slice settings currently selected and saves the output as a .gcode file.

Export as X3G

Slices the model(s) currently in 3D View using the slice settings currently selected and saves the output as a .x3g file.

Apply leveling to gcode during export

Applies software print leveling to the gcode file during export. Use this, for instance, if your printer needs the software leveling and you will be printing from an SD card.

Show file in folder after save

Checking this box will cause MatterControl to open the operating system's folder manager to the location in which the outputted file was saved after the export is complete.
