I am exporting a PartDesign body to STL for 3D printing.
However, the 3D printing service told me that the STL is quite coarse and advised me to increase resolution.
How can I do so in FreeCAD?
I attach both the FreeCAD and the STL, STEP and IGES exports from that FreeCAD file.

Re: Configuring resolution of STL export of a PartDesign body
Switch to the Mesh workbench, select the shape and invoke the command Create mesh from shape. There you have many options to affect the resolution of the mesh.
If you have GMSH installed then you can also use the refinement command to create a finer representation of your existing mesh.
