Meshmixer connection does not work

Anonymous

When I try to "3D PRINT", the window that comes up has the block: "Send to Print Utility" is checked and the selection is Meshmixer.  The window continues to tell what Meshmixer is and has a link to download it.  My problem is: Meshmixer IS already installed.  I even downloaded it again and reinstalled it but it still will not recognize that it is there.  Can I get help here?

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Welcome to the Fusion 360 Community!

 

One quick way around this would be to add a custom printer. To do this:

 

  • Select 3D Print
  • Under the Print Utility should be a custom option.
  • Select this and then a new option will pop up in the 3D Print menu. 
  • Click the folder to go find the Meshmixer executable and now this custom option should launch straight to MeshMixer.

I do note however, in my Fusion the Meshmixer utility works well. It is possible that maybe there is a newer version that you do not have (for Meshmixer, although you did say you uninstalled and redownloaded it). The other thing is maybe it is looking in the incorrect location for meshmixer. Did you install it to a different drive for instance?

 

Thanks,

I reinstalled Meshmixer and let it install where it wanted to go and that
solved the problem. Thank you very much for your help.
