Or, if anyone knows how to get the printer to recognize and print .stl files or any other type of standard file.

Thanks
If the ekocycle is like most lower-end FDM printers that I am familiar with, it won't be able to print directly from an STL, it must be sliced first. If the ekocyce software won't accept STL, you'd likely have to export from your CAD software it to a different file type, like .obj. I'm pretty sure you guys are using Solidworks, which can handle the conversion no problem. If you're still having trouble, I can stop by your shop anytime the next few days.
