Great, I was just about start learning it

Would love to try but I prefer OFFLINE solutions and gave up on Fusion when they started changing everything for free users.
And no, it is not me being reluctant with server based solutionsâŠ
It is just that around here you have no issues with internet drop outs and being left without for sometimes a few days.
Then being unable to continue my design work is just no good if you know what I mean.
I miss the days when it still worked mainly offline and hobby users did not have to jump through all those hurdlesâŠ
If this integration works it will be a godsend for some and shows that 3D printing is finally being taken serious by the big software makers.
I find it sad sometimes that people can be so reluctant to try using CAD software and to find an app that works for them.
As if creating things this way would be scaryâŠ

So is this one of the things the new security stuff would have blocked?

sure i now what you mean, but in this day and age, most software has online connection, itâs just how the world is these days
nope, it does not interact directly with the printer, you can however export gcode from fusion, which you can then send / copy to the sd card of the printer

Also ich habe jetzt mal nen Internetausfall simuliert und ich konnte Fusion trotzdem nutzen. Fusion hat mir zwar ne Warnung angezeigt aber ich konnte es nutzen.

I have now simulated an internet outage and I was still able to use Fusion. Fusion showed me a warning but I was able to use it.

But can it talk directly to the printer now? Weâve been able to put files on the SD card and sneaker it as long as I know, but what Iâm asking is if this new Fusion feature can talk directly to un-updated printers and would that be lost with Bambuâs security plan.

Das ist gut und richtig, klappte bei mir auch mal in der dunklen VerganenheitâŠ
Klapp aber nicht immer weil die Tokens ablaufen.
Und nicht alles in Fusion funktioniert wenn das WWW weg ist.
Bin alt und unwilling immer wieder neue Tricks zu lernen.
Hab Fusion fuer ein paare genuzt, dann aber wegen den o.g. Gruenden aufgegeben.
PSA: Autodesk now supports direct slicing to Bambu Lab X and P series printers from within Fusion:

This was mildly interesting until I read the Autodesk blog. Seems it only generates GCODE that you can store on your (really hard to get to) microSD card. If it was, indeed, integrated with the Fusion application then the next question will be, how many of the gazillion controls you can twiddle in Bambu Studio are also implemented in the Fusion application?
Call me skeptical, but Fusion Save as Mesh, Bambu Studio open project is not a cumbersome workflow.

If Fusion used the network plugin, yes. But in this case it generated a GCODE file. I imagine you could send it to the printer via BambuConnect but Iâm not sure if it may reject its gcode
According to the announcement, it canât connect with the printer, it just emits GCODE. If it were to connect to the printer, the security update would break that flow. However IIIC you should be able to send it with Bambu Connect⊠But I actually have never tried to use that, so not sure if it may reject the gcode file 
Bonjour,
Est-ce quâil y a un intĂ©rĂȘt particulier Ă utiliser Fusion 360 pour slicer ses fichiers par rapport Ă Bambu Studio ou Orca, mis Ă part le fait que ça Ă©vite dâutiliser un autre logiciel ?
Watched the video and in my opinion itâs a rather long winded way which is not offering any advantage over Exporting a file to HD or selecting a Body and selecting Custom and pointing to your PrinterâŠ
If they incorporated say Orca, Bambu, Simplify3D full functionality control within Fusion 360âŠthenâŠ
âFor me Itâs a case of wait to try it learn it, then itâs sink or swimâ
Disclaimer, the above is my uneducated opinion, take it at face value⊠
the point of having slicing capabilities in fusion is not about sending to the printer, itâs to actually see how a model will slice, if / where it will need supports, what kind of print time and cost you might be looking at, all this without needing to export a file out and loading it into the slicer. for me exporting to gcode is just a plus, the real benefit comes from watching the sliced model in fusion during the design stage
edit/ and to illustrate i often need to go back to the design after exporting when i see overhangs that i donât like after slicing, but that i missed during the initial design

Hmm Iâm not sure about this. I use Fusion 360 free almost daily and love it. I usually use the Bambu app to print fusion files that i exported to step. It works great and Iâm already familiar with the Bambu slicer, material setup etc. what Autodesk offers seems to be subpar (copying a file to the sd card?) compared to simple step export (which seems to be better than stl).

Thatâs a relatively expensive way to acquire that for most of us.
If I was not retired and using the product heavily then Iâd like that BUT spending almost 1/12 of my annual income is more of a consideration over a âoh Iâd like that sometimesâ function.
As it is Iâve mostly pivoted to Onshape for design and keep Fusion for importing STLs or STEPS to re-work.
What great news. This saves the exporting (from Fusion) and importing (in Bambulab) efforts. Will test soon.
But canât you already Export directly from Fusion into Bambu Studio using the 3D Print option in the file menu?
Once youâve opened the 3D Print dialogue box just
- Set âApplicationâ to Bambu Studio
- Set âFormatâ to 3MF
- Click on the object you want to print
When you click OK then Bambu Studio automatically opens and loads the STL.

Wow, very interesting! Iâve always chosen âExportâ in the âPreparation Typeâ listbox. 3D Print utility saves the step of saving and loading.
Thanks for the tip!
