additive dual colour slicing with fusion slicer

[BoostedVal]

Hi there, how do you print dual colour with Fusion slicer, I have seen how to export the stl's to another slicer but I would rather use Fusion slicer i fpossible, thanks

Hi @BoostedVal ,

Apologies for such a delayed response!

In what way? Assigning different extruders to different bodies - ie, multi-filaments & multi-extruders machines (see below):

Or supporting filament mixing - ie, multi-filaments & single-extruder machines?

Currently, neither is possible, but the assigning of extruders to different bodies is something we are currently working on and will be releasing in the near future.

Hi @BoostedVal ,

It is now possible to print multi-material or multi-colour parts in Fusion 360!

Please see this video below detailing how to do this:

Autodesk Fusion 360 | Tutorial: Multi-material and Multi-Print Setting for FFF 3D Printing

Enjoy and let me know what you print!

I was very happy to find this and we are successfully printing two materials in one part. In this case we are printing a detent ring with 95A TU inside a PLA shell. Once I get the print down we will look for a stronger material. These detent chucks allow for different size plates to be installed and removed easily on a spindle. 

P.S. We made the stainless shell and lid using Fusion 360 as well. They work......just pushing it is all 🙂

Thanks for the tip!

Hi @jimc33BAK ,

Oh wow, that is super exciting - thanks so much for sharing! It's genuinely great to see what people are doing with Additive in Fusion 360!

Very much interested in hearing more about this project, so keep me updated. Also, when you said "pushing it", are you finding the additive capabilities in Fusion 360 limiting? What things could they be improved for you?

Hi @jimc33BAK 

Also, how was the stainless steel lid made, was it just machined, or additively manufactured and then machined?

[jimc33BAK]

Pushing it in what we can get accomplished using additive versus the subtractive ss part. The subtractive method is time consuming and expensive but proven. We are hoping to develop a method that would lower initial costs of this system and be more appealing to customers. 

The lid was milled two sided. The parts all got a medium blast to give them that finish. 316ss

Hi @jimc33BAK ,

Yes understood - am glad Fusion 360 additive was able to do the job for you, despite the proven subtractive manufacturing.

Let us know how the project progresses!
