Using Fusion 360 with 3D System's Cube3 printer issues

Anonymous — Sat, 07 Jan 2017 04:51:15 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to this, and I just got 3D System's Cube3 printer. It prints fine, and I got it hooked up to my lan network great. Issue is that when I made my first project in Fusion 360, I can't figure out how to make it export to the printer itself. It seems the Cube takes many file types but they are all different from what Fusion 360 can export.

I tried downloading "Print Studio" but there doesn't seem to be any way to connect my printer to it since it isn't one of the 3 options in the "Connect to a network printer" settings.

Can anyone give any advice? How do I make this work?

Thanks!

Right click on the Body and Export to stl.

That only exports one fragment of my object, I need each of the "bodies" printed as one object. Is there another solution that would allow me to export the entire object as a single object?

@Anonymous you need to provide some more info, A picture a copy of your file something along those lines.

Ok, I went ahead and attached it!

@davebYYPCUI'm not sure what you mean by "top entry in the browser with right mbutton". I clicked everywhere with left, right, and wheel buttons, and couldn't find what you were referring to.

Still worked for me, just now, screencast attached,

this model was a download, and has two bodies in it for the demo purposes.
