    <title>topic Re: 3D Print Directly to Slic3R? in Fusion Design, Validate &amp; Document Forum</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Took me a few minutes to figure it out - PrusacControl has no documented command line paramters - and simply adding the filename after the exe didn´t work.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;/f to the rescue&lt;/P&gt;&lt;PRE&gt;@echo off
cd "c:\Program Files\Prusa3D\PrusaControl"
@start C:\"Program Files"\Prusa3D\PrusaControl\PrusaControl.exe /f %1
exit&lt;/PRE&gt;&lt;P&gt;save the code above (assuming that the path is the same on your computer) to a batch file like in my post about starting slic3r. the only difference is the batch file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you ran into issues (not loading, crashing ...) there´s a way to do some testing:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1. start prusacontrol with a file from the cmd:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;navigate inside a cmd to the folder on your c: drive where prusacontrol is located (should be somewhere around here:&amp;nbsp;"c:\Program Files\Prusa3D\PrusaControl") - please note that i found an older version at c:\program files\prusacontrol - but you should notice that folder is quite old.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;start the program solo through typing PrusaControl.exe (since windows offers autocompletion it might just take a few letters and than a tab.) hit enter to start- if this works close it down and get back into the cmd:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;type the exe name once again but add [space] /f [space] "STL-file including full path" [space] is the space bar.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If this work then test the bat file.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. just double click on the bat-file - prusacontrol should start without any issues and no file preloaded&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If this works open a cmd navigate to the folder where the bat file is and type in the name of that file: add a [space] and "stl-file including full path" to that line and hit enter. this should open up the prusacontrol and load the file right away.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If those test work you should be fine and it should work from inside fusion 360.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Fusion360 simply will call the executeable file and hand over the filename which is currently in view and activated (it´s located somewhere in the depths of the appdata folder) - so the bat files reason is just to change into the right directory and the add the "/f" to tell prusacontrol that this file should be loaded. %1 is the placeholder for the first command line parameter.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope that helps.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Richard&lt;/P&gt;</description>
