Yeah, STEP doesn't have previews yet; it's always interesting to see what people actually use! I didn't really expect anyone to be using STEP 😃

I'll change this to a feature request (although it should be clearer that preview isn't available rather than just being blank).

Thanks! Yeah have been trying out Step files since they are a lot more precise than stl files. I now also have the problem that .stl files open in a new tab instead of downloading. Is this a config problem on my end?

[Floppy]

No, that's a known bug. Should get fixed soon!

I only use STEP because curves are actual arcs on modern printers and slicers. No more multi-faceted arcs.
