web editor stl export

It would be nice if we can directly export the model as a STL file, that way users can directly put it into a slicer. IIRC threejs already provides STL file exporter?

My issue with STL is it fundamentally can't transmit manifoldness (it has no connectivity info). I'd much prefer 3MF (partly because I helped develop it) as it solves this problem and I think most of the 3D printer slicers import it now.

That's fine either, as long as it can export something that can be imported by 3D printer slicers.
