3D Print output

peter_campbell103 — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 22:31:40 GMT

Hi,

My Printer is not on the short list of printer options in print studio - can that list be expanded to include other printers? Alo there seems to be no option to export the file as an .stl from fusion 360 so I cannot print any designs at present.

Thanks for any assistance

Peter

If you go to File > 3D print, then open it in Print Studio you can save it as an STL by going to file > export all / selected in Print Studio. Just choose whichever printer is most similar to yours. Since you're not going to create gcode it doesn't really matter.

edit: just realized this question is a month old, but hopefully it'll help someone else out. 😉

Hi and thanks for your reply and advice. I found another way which is just to deselect send to print utility in the 3D Print drop down. It just brings up a save option for an stl which I then ran through my flash print utility.

Cheers
