I’m working on a small project in Shapr3D, but when I export it as an .obj file, the size turns out extremely large, around 1.2 GB.  
This hasn’t happened before with similar models.  
Any idea what might be causing this?  
Thanks

OBJ is a mesh file and now has resolution. It is because of the rounded corners they have lot of vertices.

What that OBJ would look in Blender.

Maybe that’s why when a try to transfer to .obj this file is oversized, like this 1.2 GB

Some updated last version, never happen before.

In comparison for this one only 27MB
