3D Printing Problem From Fusion 360

I was wondering if there is a way to save Fusion 360 files to my desktop so that I can add them to my Slicer software (Cura), for 3D printing. I have made several parts using Fusion 360 and have been able to send them directly from Fusion to Cura and print that way. The current problem that I am having is that I would like to print more than one different part at a time. I tried to select multiple components from the active Fusion 360 program to print, but it will only allow me to select one component. If I select a second component and send it to Cura, it opens a new Cura window and will not allow me to add them together to print at the same time. I tried to save the Fusion 360 file to my desktop so I could open it through Cura that way (in order to open multiple files in the same Cura window), however saving to the desktop does not have a compatible file extension that Cura can work with. Is there a way to change the file extension? Or is there a step I am missing to select multiple components when exporting for 3D printing? Any tips would be helpful, thanks much!!

Right-click the body you want to print, and choose "Save As STL". You can also right-click on a component and do the same, but if the component has multiple visible bodies, they will all be exported. You can however choose to export them individually or as one big file.
