PrusaSlicer unable to load file

Hey, so recently I made a blender file, (.obj)the blender file had 2 objects in it, which might be causing the error but I'm not sure. Whenever I try to import the file into PrusaSlicer, it displays an error screen that it is unable to load the file, I'm not sure what the problem is and that's what I'm trying to find out.

Best Answer by Lichtjaeger:

obj files can be made out of tris or quads. PrusaSlicer can't handle quads.

So, make sure you export only tris or use other file formats like stl or 3mf.

Also important, Blender sets 1 bu (Blender unit) equal to 1 m per default. But you will usually want 1 bu to be 1 mm. So remember to scale correctly when exporting files.

For scaling in Blender you the following settings, most important is the Unit scale value.
