What file types do people most-often prefer? Just `.stl`? Or should I also do `.obj`? What about `.glb`?

I believe the error is on the Thingiverse side, not Tinkercad.

Can't "Send To" Thingiverse from Tinkercad.com

# Can't "Send To" Thingiverse from Tinkercad.com

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-12-21)

Anyone else seeing this issue? Anyone know a solution?

While editing a part on TinkerCad.com ([this part](https://www.tinkercad.com/things/hrsKxOk1Xc7), to be specific), I click the "Send To" button in the top-right --> click Thingiverse --> I see this screen: [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/PsCJO.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/PsCJO.png)

I then click on "Authorize". I'm already signed into Thingiverse, so I click "AGREE & AUTHORIZE APP" --> and I get this error window:

[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/OCRGW.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/OCRGW.png)

It states:

> There was a problem authenticating you with Thingiverse
>
> Close this window and return to Tinkercad.
>
> Privacy settings |  
> Privacy/Cookies

Anyone know what could be the issue? I've tried in Google Chrome, on Firefox, in Chrome with incognito mode, and even with a **2nd pair of separate TinkerCad and Thingiverse accounts!** I get the same result each and every time.

Note: I used the Google sign-in for the Thingiverse account. Maybe I need to use the independent account login?

Sure enough; it seems to be fixed!

Next time you have an issue with TinkerCad, [submit a help request here](https://tinkercad.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) (I chose "Tinkercad Account" from the "Please choose from the options below" dropdown menu).
