Solution for using more than one slicer software (MAC OS ONLY)

I'm using 3d print command a lot in Fusion. I even assigned it to shortcut Control+P

I was using Cura which i only managed to work by selecting "Custom" from the dropdown list.

Recently i bouth a new BambuLab printer and since BambuStudio.app is not listed, i made a custom app that will let you choose between your slicers.

Open Script Editor.app which is installed by default on macOS

Create a new appleScript and paste the code below.

on open droppedItems -- Prompt the user to choose an application set appChoice to choose from list {"Bambu Studio", "Cura"} with prompt "Choose an application to open the file with:" default items {"Bambu Studio"} -- Check if the user made a choice if appChoice is false then display dialog "No application selected." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" return end if -- Determine the application to use if item 1 of appChoice is "Bambu Studio" then set appPath to "/Applications/BambuStudio.app" else if item 1 of appChoice is "Cura" then set appPath to "/Applications/UltiMaker\\ Cura.app" end if -- Process each dropped item repeat with i from 1 to number of items in droppedItems -- Get the file path of the dropped item set thisItem to item i of droppedItems set filePath to POSIX path of thisItem -- Open the file with the chosen application do shell script "open -a " & appPath & " " & quoted form of filePath end repeat end open

The code includes only 2 options for Cura and BambuStudio

Modify the code, paths to the apps or number of options if necessary

Use ChatGPT if you don't feel safe modifying the code

Export it as an .app file

choose the new app as the custom slicer in Fusion.

Voila!
