3D Printing - "Fusion 360 does not have sufficient...

[mathews.225]

When I click 3D Print, I get this message: "Fusion 360 does not have sufficient privileges to launch the Print Utility. The Print Utility must be manually launched once in order allow Fusion 360 to launch it. Please launch Print Utility from the Applications menu."

Hi @mathews.225,

Welcome to the forum.  You are seeing this error message because we can not launch the application you have selected as the 3D print application.  The Mac OS is very restrictive on launching applications from within another application.  In some cases it will only allow an application to launch another application, if the application to be launched, has been opened once explicitly by the user.  It is a security precaution.  I am sorry the error message was not clearer.  In order to fix the problem, go to the application selected in the 3D print dialog, in my case below "Print Studio" and launch the application and then close it.  If you do not know where the application is installed, you can use the MacOS Spotlight tool to find it.  Let me know if this solves your issue.

Thank you,

Thanks! I have it working now.

I am having the same issue. However, I have launched Meshmixer many times over. I am using the Fusion 360 from the App Store. Should I just download the non-App Store version?

So I found a workaround how to start Slic3r on a mac from Fusion as it was also complaining about missing permissions.

1. Open Automator.app
2. Menu -> File -> New... -> Application
3. Search for action 'Run Shell Script' and drag it into the workflow pane
4. Change 'Pass inputs' to 'as arguments'
5. use the following body of the script:
   
   

   # Need to fix up the path, Fusion 360 seems to bork the path
   PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin:/bin
   
   # this is the command line to start Slic3r from the terminal
   # tweak this to match your slicer
   /Applications/prusa3d_mac_2_0_0/Slic3r.app/Contents/MacOS/Slic3r --gui "$@"

6. Save the file into the applications folder as for example SlicerLauncher
7. Point Fusion at SlicerLauncher

I'm having this problem too when trying to launch MeshMixer. 

I can open MeshMixer directly.

If this does not solve your problem, try choosing the Custom option in the Print Utility menu. Then browse to your application manually and select it. For me, the issue appeared when I upgraded OSX to Mojave.

Very nice worked a charm. 

Change the path to  //Applications/Original\ Prusa\ Drivers/Slic3r.app/Contents/MacOS/Slic3r --gui "$@"

Thank you!

I am very hopeful for your solution but I am trying to apply it to Cura and I can't make it work.

Probably my path that isn't correct.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Sorry to be of no help, I completely stopped using F360
