Printing STEP or STP files

[TPMB12]

I've got am stp file but can't print the drawing out. I've got a free stp viewer to see it but it doesn't offer a print option.

Anyone know a free and quick way to print or convert then print the file?

Depending on definition of easy, install freecad

Thanks,  trying it out now.

I've only dealt with STL files but I understand there are a number of STP viewers for free which also include the ability to export to STL which you can then load in to your slicing programme and print.

I have stpviewer but it doesn't allow me to convert files.

Have you tried this: https://beta.sharecad.org/en/

I can't seem to generate or download a test file to try it for you unfortunately.

Thanks everyone for your help. I managed to get something out but it wasn't helpful to us. So we had to go back to the customer anyway. Appreciate the help everyone. I used a free cad package in the end.

Windows 10 should have  a built-in viewer?

A step file is a 3D model.  To get a useful 2D drawing you'd have to prepare it yourself or get the customer to do it for you.
