3d printing simple two part fixture

I'm printing a simple two part fixture. Basically a rectangular base with 4 pegs.

The base is one design and then the peg is a second design. The base then uses 6 references of the "peg" design

However, when it 3d prints, it looks right - but the pegs are actually separate parts that are printed inside recessed holes within the base. How can I "join" or fuse it all together so I can still use the independent "peg" design but have one "solid" STL file when its output for 3d printing?

Would you be willing/able to share your Fusion file?

You'll want to use the Combine tool, export as stl, then (potentially) undo or suppress the join command. 

Please click "Accept Solution" if what I wrote solved your issue!

See attached - thanks for looking. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. 

I'd like to output one solid model of the base platform and the four pegs. Must be some option in either the STL generation? I can't get the "combine" feature to do it either
