If you set up a free Shapeways account, you can test models by uploading there. It'll automatically test your geometry and tell you where any problems are. Accepts obj's too. They have lots of help files on how to best build your geometry but I've found that if you're tidy with building your

i think you can just make it however you want and just import it into meshlab as obj or fbx just remember there's no smoothing normals or averaged normals in real life, so bake the smoothing before export zbrush was good with that since zbrush has no normals and it's almost faceted On Wed, Apr 4,

Yep, Meshmixer does STL export. it also has some nice tools to make things hollow, to save on print material. You can also check for errors like non-manifold geometry and walls that are too thin. Ronald van Vemden --- 3D Graphics & Animation

You could try using the Shapeways.com service to test some models. I've done a little dabbling and the unit size is no more of an issue than any other 3d software. You run your object through a free package called Netfabb, it tells you the scale of the object, which was 1unit=1mm, then output a
