Well, I have already described this problem in another older thread, but I am afraid it is a little “lost” there, as there has been no response to it yet, so I took a liberty to repeat it here - in a new, separate thread.
The problem in brief: the Parametric model (Fusion) generated via the Customize function has an incorrect print parameters.
In more detail: I have a model (flexi filament clip) that was created in Fusion. My recommended filament for it is PETG or ASA. PLA is unsuitable. With regard to the material, the model has some parameters for printing that I recommend. Among other things like Walls, Sparse Infill, and then the recommended (lower) print speeds.
The model has a normal “fix” Main Print profile on its page, which contains one piece of the clip (in one given size) and, most importantly, all the print parameters that I consider optimal. … so far, so good
In addition to the mentioned normal print profile, there is also a Customize function that allows user to generate a clip in the particular size. For this parametric generation, an f3d (export from “Fusion”) file was added to the model.
When I generate a clip using the Customize function, it generates correctly (size, etc. are all OK), but when I then download the generated model in a 3MF file, the print parameters are completely “off” – it basically ignores my settings (as I set them in the main/first print profile). Instead, it looks (at least to me) like everything is set to some default values
- The material is set to PLA only = which is wrong & moreover other filaments are completely missing
- The walls and infill values are off = set to some default
- Speeds are also set to default (higher=> not ideal for the given model and recommended PETG)
- etc.
Basically, the only thing “left” of my model is the (correctly) generated STL “base”… the rest was added (at least that’s how it seems to me) by MakerWorld itself according to some default values, completely ignoring my settings. Which is definitely not good…
So either I overlooked/misunderstood something (in which case, please point me in the right direction), or this is “how it’s supposed to be,” but in that case, it’s quite unfortunate - this is my first parametric model published in real life, and I had been under the impression that the parameter settings would be taken from the Main Print Profile (as I haven’t found any other option to define my desired parameters - so that the Customize function would import them from there).
- Currently, I am addressing this issue by including a note about this “error” in the description + instructions on how to import the correct print parameters from the Main Profile into the generated 3MF profile. However, I do not consider this to be ideal. For a beginner user, it’s unnecessarily complicated, and more importantly, I assume that a lot of “Handy app” people will just ignore it and print downloaded 3MF profile as it is (assuming it’s OK) - i.e., print it incorrectly - and then complain that something went wrong and the model is “c*r*a*p” (which is not … at least not for this specific reason
)
I know there are many experienced people here who have parametric models, and I’m sure someone has already encountered a similar problem and knows how to solve it. For now, I assume that I’ve just overlooked something and there is a way to have a parametric model from Fusion so that the generated 3MF file has the print parameters that the author wants. I just need some advice on how to do it 
Appreciate your input in advance

I don’t want to look like someone who is artificially increasing traffic to the model by complaining about a “problem”, but if anyone needs/wants to try what I’m describing, here’s the link (otherwise please feel free to ignore it)
The parameters are correct in the main print profile, but after generating via Customize and downloading the 3MF file, they will be wrong.
