The video to the left demonstrates how to export part files as PDFs for the GlowForge app.
Submit files using the following naming convention:
Example name: PartName_Qn_LastName.pdf
PartName - This is the name of your part. It should match naming conventions in your technical drawings
Qn - Q stands for Quantity and n should be replaced with a number representing the number of copies you need for this part.
LastName is your last name.
