Importing Fusion 360 into Aspire

[Bob Eustace]

Can anyone advise how to get Fusion 360 files into Aspire please??

Depending on what you are wanting to do you can save as a STL file or dfx and then import. I do mostly STL into Vcarve or DeskProto.

Thanks Mark. We are absolute novices at Fusion - like 2 days and really dont want to learn it (oldies and slow) and we only need it for this one charity job we are doing building cheap ukuleles "live" at an event. The files are here in thingyverse.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1643756. You couldnt possibly have a peek and possibly pop them into V Carve? Hope this isnt too much to ask? This project was born at the last Bay Area Maker Faire - we are in Australia!

You need to download the Fusion 360 project files. I don't have fusion so i'm not sure what their export options are but if you export the files as STL's you can then load them into almost any program. The bridge is already a stl.

Bob, I would but these need to be flipped and that is something I have yet to master myself. The good news is there is nothing with Fusion to learn, just Vcarve as the files are already STL. You need to work through two things to get this to work. Importing models and double sided cutting. I've kinda got the first one down but not the second at all.

Good luck

All sorted thanks. Cant understand why the originator chose to post in STL instead of DXF???

Glad you got it sorted out! I was wondering the same thing. Most things on thingivers are STL as it is mostly a 3d print sight but for something like this I'd share in several file formats just to avoid people having the problems you've had.
