Windows 10: Can't open auto saves in 3D builder.

I click to open them, but this happens. I really need to be able to open this as I am printing the specifically sliced parts and can't start over. The app closed on me randomly.

Is there any way/hack to make STL the default file type for Open and Save As in 3D Builder?

Hey gdeconto,

I'm a 3D Builder engineer. I'm sorry to say that there is not a way to (or hack) to make STL the default file type. It is a great suggestion though.

Please open the Feedback App and under the feedback tab (in the 'Apps and Games' Category, '3D Builder' subcategory) open a suggestion feedback with this request. Leaving it there will let other people see the feedback and upvote it. If we see the suggestion
get some traction with users upvotes we will add it to our todo list.

Thanks!
