Hi @Anonymous,

Welcome to the Fusion 360 Community!

Can you expand a bit on what happens when you select Send to Custom Utility? I'm assuming you have already chosen Cura to be the Custom printer in the 3D print menu, and then you hit send. Does it open Cura at all, just opens a blank page with no model? Or, does it not even open Cura?

Also, to manually do this, you can save your model as an STL and then import that into Cura to use. More information on saving STL's from here.

I am having a similar problem. The issue is that it is not connecting properly, but it is not connecting at all. A simple way to get around this is to uncheck the box that says send to 3D printer, then click OK. this will save the project in STL. file form. Now open Cura and load the project from your files.
