A bit off topic but I just ordered a TRONXY XY-3 3D printer and I plan to continue using Fusion 360 with it. Do any of you know where I might find a F360 post processor for that printer?
Thanks!

Just bought a Creality Ender 3 Pro myself. The easiest thing I've been doing is export the saved file as an STL. Then load the STL file into the slicer software. I've been using Ultimaker Cura 4.5 slicing software. That being said, F360 just added a 3D printing slicer function (Manufacturer-Additive) in the software. But I haven't looked at how it works yet.

Like bruce said, it is better to export as stl and then load the stl into the slicer.
I understand you may want to keep the workflow integrated to f360 based on your familiarity but the slicer is really the make or break part of 3d printing at the beginning.
In no particular order (and not sponsored) there is simplify3d, cura, and slic3r (also prusa slicer).
Simplify3d is paid software, cura is freeware, and prusa slicer is free open source. I have used all 3 and have been completely on prusa slicer. I had been using slic3r before that.
I'm just now learning the cnc/cam side of things but for 3d printing your models need to be solid manifolds. Many people give sketchup alot of crap but all my 3d models (especially for 3d printing) are made in sketchup and I have yet to create a non-manifold model that is slicer ready.
As a random note, I use sketchup to create maps for a certain online game. So for me sketchup is really my goto for any 3d modeling.
Beyond that, have fun printing.

There’s a print button and you send it to a slicer like cura. Cura will set up what your calling post processor for your printer. |
