i use inventor 2013 and have designed a couple of parts
you just EXPORT (fixed was save before)
cad format
set file type to STL
in the option settings make sure you have it set to mm (if you design in mm)
then when you export just use netfabb to rotate so its correct for 3D printing .
also you can use it to make sure your measurements have exported correctly.
have fun i learnt inventor basics in around a couple of weeks its a great program if you are used to 2D design theory
i still need to leard how to do threads though lol
