I have files saved on my computer that are in prusa slicer format. When I open them in fusion they are in what I'm guessing is mesh format. Which I can't do anything with. Why is this happening. [read..what is this idiot doing wrong?] |
To say that you are on thin ice would be a vastly optimistic view of your current situation. The ice has melted. You are being supported by the surface tension of water.

Are these files that you created yourself or downloaded? There is no prusa slicer format. I'm assuming you are talking about either stl or 3mf which you have set to open with prusa slicer by default. If so, yes these will be meshes and will be difficult to edit unless you know what you're doing. The usual recommendation is to use the meshes as a guide for re-modeling the part from scratch. |

I guess not saving them on my computer is the answer..

Is this a fusion file or something else? What is the file extension type? |

Originally Posted By Striker: they are fusion. in my computer they look right and are 3mf files. Â when I open them in fusion they turn to a mesh file.. Ok those 3mfs have been exported from fusion. You should be able to open the original files directly from fusion - not from the files saved on the computer. |
