    You will get 3 files on export
    - OBJ: the actual 3D model; contains vertices and faces
    - MTL: lists textures included and their settings
    - PNG: texture

    You need all three to open the export. From other comments it looks like you don't have the PNG file

    Then you need to find the file location that it gives when you press export.

    You press the menu button, then you press the 3D print / export button. It’s above the exit button.
