Dear FAB Developers and community,
The 3D Printing community is growing at a faster pace than ever.

Me and my team would love to see more support for the STL format, commonly used in 3D printing.
I believe that FAB can become as big of a platform as Cults3D and as nice of an UI as MakerLab from BambuLab.
Example of the UI in BambuStudio:

For FAB it doesn’t need to be this advanced, but at least make a special preview mode with informations such as: Filament used, Printing times, Nozzle diameter and other informations from the GCode.
For those who don’t know, GCode is a set of instructions that a printer has to receive to execute the correct positions, filament flow and temperatures. This code is completely universal and works for all 3D printers, so there is no compatibility issue from the workflow of importing from FAB to the 3D Printer.
I honestly think that this could become a defining feature of FAB and would love to hear your opinions!
With much love,
Multicore Games & 3D
