Can no longer send print from Fusion 360 to Cura

Hello, 

 

Have been sending 3D Print files to Cura for sometime now from Fusion 360.  Was printing parts yesterday. 

Had some new files to print today, but when clicking on the Make-3D Print and choosing the file to print, Cura did not open with the part to be printed. Not sure what has changed since yesterday. I did do some research online in the forum and I noticed that some of the users chose the "Custom" section and then point it to the Cura.exe file. However, when I go to Preference section and then click on Design, I noticed that there is no section to choose for 3D Printing. 

 

I am using the education free version. Any help would be much appreciated.

What is going on here?

Hello,

 

the button is under the TOOLS tab in the new UI:

By the way, I recently posted two add-ins on the App Store that extend the 3D Print utility shipped with Fusion 360.

 

More information: 3D Print Plus and 3D Print Pro - Extended versions of 3D Print

If anyone is still having this issue, I was able to fix it by opening the install folder for Cura:

 

C:\Program Files\Ultimaker Cura 4.11.0

 

 

And running the CLI executable (CuraCLI.exe).

 

 

It requested admin permissions but after I allowed it and closed Cura, Fusion started correctly exporting models to Cura from the "3d print" menu with "Cura" selected as the print utility instead of needing a custom location.

 

Hope this helps someone
