Unable to see "Print Settings", "Infill", and "Supports" tabs under Manufacturing>Additive for FFF printers

[Stephan4EX3F]

Hi Community!

As of 2022-01-22 (Friday) I am no longer seeing the tabs under Additive in Manufacturing for "Print Settings", "Infill", and "Supports" for any FFF 3D printer. For SLA printers the "Supports" tab does appear, but those are missing for the SLS printer too.  I have submitted a support ticket, but maybe this is a simple setting I changed that can be reverted and one of you ran into it.

Appreciate the help,

SN

And by Friday, I meant 2022-01-21. As of today, those tabs are still not visible. I have tried different computers and accounts as well.

HI @Stephan4EX3F ,

In the recent Fusion 360 update (which occurred 18th January) we made a change to the way you can edit your print settings.
The additive toolbar will now look something like this:

Previously you had the following 4 extra icons in the toolbar:

1. Print setting selector

2. Print setting editor

3. Infill specific print setting editor

4. Support specific print setting editor

In order to improve the user experience we have simplified the workflow and removed duplicatd steps.
The print settings can now only be selected when creating or editing a setup - see below:

For the print settings editor, this can no be done either within the print settings library (found under the "Manage" toolbar group within the additive toolbar), or by selecting "edit" on the print setting itself within the setup - shown below:

As for the infill and support print settings, they can still be fully edited within this print settings edit dialog as they have always been - see below:

Note, expect to find "Infill pattern" & "Infill Density" in the 'Basic' Tab.

why is it so hard to change infill patters in fusion 360 i feel like i have to crawl through tunnels and climb mountains just to get infill patters to work and i still can't get it to work. but if i send the file to bambu slicer i just hit infill and bam its done why is it over complicated in fusion ?

@vtecnik ,

Sorry to hear you are having problems... what is your specific issue, is it generating a toolpath?
Is there an infill pattern that is not working for you?

Here's a video I made showcasing all the FFF infills in Fusion. Hopefully this helps to address your problem:

Hi @vtecnik,

I wanted to check in and see if you saw @thomas.stock's follow up questions and you still needed assistance, or if you found a solution to your question already? Please share any available screenshots or screen recordings so the community can assist you further.

All the best,

i haven't looked at the video been sick but right after the post i found another way to do want i wanted i just hand drew shapes then copied it and spread it across the model like cave man style then just extruded it.  

i tried following youtube videos but since they changed the layout non of the videos are correct anymore. and when i got into the tool path folder and selected petg there was really no settings for me to do anything expect edit all the functions on the top was grayed out. it was a very confusing process for me.

i'll look over the video thomas sent later.
