Exporting to .stl format

Hi,
I can;t seem to export my file. I would like to 3D print it. I wonder if I have less capability as Im an education subscriber. I've followed the 'help' options, but I don;t seem to be able to do as suggested as I don;t have the features ie: I right click on the file name, and 'export' is supposed to appear, however this isn;t happenning for me? Id LOVE some tips. Im worried all my time has been wasted now. Thanks in advance!

    Please paste a link to your doc here and someone will have a look for you.

    Edu plan gets all the features so no problem there.

    Is it your document, a document that was shared with you or a public document? If you don’t have export permissions you won’t be able to export.

    The link is above. It is currently a public file. It doesn't need to be however. Neil Cooke - It was never initially a document that was shared with me however ..... I constructed it myself. 

    Thanks Owen and Neil for looking at this. Im new and still finding my way. Cheers

    @alexandra_wheeler you sent a link which is read-only - the doc must be made public for anyone to copy it. Anyway it's simple enough, either right-click the part studio tab at the bottom, or right-click the part on screen or from the parts list and select export - it will be there. If not, post a screenshot of what you see.
