At the and go to “export the model” and export as stl. Than import the file in you favorite slice by take car the model is watertight! You could use meshmixer to make it so if it isn’t.

Beware, 3d scanning is a tool and mostly no point and shoot camera. Most often there is some postprocessing involved before getting a printable 3d model.

I had the same problem and after some searching found the solution which is a program called Spin 3D Mesh Converter it converts the files from obj to printable stl files and they work without any problem. Hope this helps.
