Optimize your STL, OBJ, X3D, and 3MF files for 3D printing

Answer by Swati Dubey

No, Fusion 360 does not have the direct option to open Ultimaker Cura for 3D printing. You will need to export your design from Fusion 360 as an STL file, and then manually open that file in Ultimaker Cura for slicing and preparing it for 3D printing.

to put supports underneath?

A
Answer by Akash Shah

To raise an object in Ultimaker Cura, select the object and navigate to the "Move" tab. Then use the Z-axis controls to move the object up. This will allow you to add supports underneath.

When I used Creality as slicer, it just started to print object, but since changing over to using Cura as slicer, it prints a straight line on the left of bed first, then only starts printing the object. is this normal?

Answer by Rajesh Gupta

Yes, this behavior is normal when using Ultimaker Cura as a slicer for the Ender 3 printer. It inserts a "priming line" at the left side of the print bed before starting the actual object printing. This priming line helps ensure proper filament flow and adhesion before starting the main object.
