· Differences between .obj and .gcode files.
Hi and welcome to the forums.
You don't really convert an .obj file to .gcode. A Gcode file is nothing like a 3D object but a long text file containing movement and extrusion information for the printer.
Your .obj file has some errors. Maybe that's the reason Cura did not display it correctly.
Check out Netfabb Basic. This is a free tool that's very useful for repairing .stl and .obj files:
The full stable release of UltiMaker Cura 5.4 is here and it makes it easier than ever to remove brims and supports from your finished prints. UltiMaker S series users can also look forward to print profiles for our newest UltiMaker PET CF composite material!
