Autodesk Print Studio Printer Settings

[Anonymous]

I have been using Autodesk Print Studio for the past weeks and I have grown to love it even with my reprap using the printrbot profile as the profile. The toolpaths run fast and clean and are very well built. Though there are certain setting which I think should be opened to modification for printers. Maybe the option to modify these could be an advanced feature only available upon the users choice to see the "advanced settings!"

• Change Filimant Size. most filaments have slighlty less than the predicted size.
• Change Retraction Amounts. One set Value rarely works for every machine, even if they use the same extruder setup!
• To implement the option for a grid of suport material used in many other slicers
• Change Filament and Bed Tempertures. No two spool from differnt manufacturers or even simply differnt colors perfom best at differnt tempertures.

It would also be usefull to be able to build custom print and filament profiles for custom setups. That would bring more of the hobbiest community in touch with this advanced software!

Thanks!

Oh, I had been working on the assumption that the files in question were related to the Print Studio app. (because they have a lot in common). 

Are Print Studio and Spark related, or separate? 

I guess the former, as the first link here:

Takes you to the (defunct) Spark site. 

I rather wish that this had been more clear during the chain of events prompted by me clicking the "3D Print" button in Fusion. 

Any suggestions for a currently-active method of getting x3g files out of Fusion or Inventor?

I think Print Studio, like Ember, was one of the components of Spark.

Don't use x3g myself, however there are several slicers that generate x3g. Or you could use GPX (https://github.com/markwal/GPX) to convert gcode to x3g. Either way, you'll still have to export STL from F360.

The "3D Print" and "Save as STL" open the same window, and there you can set Output>Send to Print Utility and select whatever app you want to process the STL. That feature has never worked with my preferred slicer (Slic3r) but seems to work with Cura.

Fusion 360 3d printing and save as stl work fine with Slic3r.  See this thread that details how to set it up: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/design-validate-document/3d-print-directly-to-slic3r/m-p/5579014#M939...
