Right now, no.

There's only manual export (by button click) to 2 possible print
services which is probably not that well tested.

Something based on https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/4592
should work. I would like to see some slightly safer handling of
the parameters though (e.g. not breaking down if there are
white spaces in the path).

From within the UI, following a full render (Design->Render, or hitting
F6), getting the STL is done through an export: File->Export As->Export as
STL, or via hitting F7. I don't believe OpenSCAD does any more work with
whatever is in the scene at that point, it takes what's just been Rendered
and produces STL to the file name you give it. I think that might be as
automatic as the UI gets. (I think torsten beat me to this response by like
2 minutes because he's so very speedy :))

From command-line though, if that's your thing, specifying an export format
of "stl" will create an output file that is the rendered STL of  the given
mode:

openscad --export-format stl -o ModelFile.stl ModelFile.scad

...should get you what you want.

This sounds promising.

This stuff about spaces in filenames, I see it is trying to open a
fixed-format file. No spaces there. Are you talking about spaces in
the directory name (either "current directory" or "of the
tempdir"? ... From the code I couldn't deduce where the file would end
up).

f equals m times a. When your f is steady, and your m is going down
your a is going up.  -- Chris Hadfield about flying up the space shuttle.
