This may be the wrong section to post this, if so please forgive, I bought a couple of supposedly .stl files from ebay and when the link came they were .rar and my Cut 3D program will not pick those kind of files up. Is there some way to use these with Cut 3D.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Re: .rar.file to .stl file
Isn't .rar a type of compressed file, some what similar to a .zip file?
Have you contacted the seller regarding the file format?

Re: .rar.file to .stl file
.rar is a compressed file and needs to be "un-compressed" with a RAR program. Google it and run it and you will have one or more files that one of them will more than likely be the .stl file you thought you were getting. I think the program that I use for this is UNZIPRAR.
