Editing your dice with Fusion 360

You can download the Fusion360 file for the dice with a rose here

Save the file then open Fusion360 and click File -> Open

In the bottom left corner select Open from my computer... and then find the file and click open

To remove the rose, open up the bodies menu on the left side and click the eyeball next to the Rose and next to the Stem to hide them

Next, find and download the STL file that you would like to insert into your dice. I recommend thingiverse. I chose a skull

In Fusion360, select Mesh along the top, then the Insert dropdown, and then Insert Mesh. Select the file you downloaded and click Open

  • Note: I forgot to hide the stem when doing this, but hid it later

Your file might not be scaled correctly but we will worry about that in a bit. First, in the menu on the right click Center and then OK

Your STL file (mesh) might have some errors. If it does, select the warning symbol next to the mesh name in the bodies menu on the left

  • A REPAIR menu should appear on the right, select OK

Next to scale the model, select Modify -> Scale Mesh

The Scale Mesh menu will appear on the right. Select your mesh by clicking on it

Adjust the scale factor so that the mesh fits inside of the Dice then click OK

If your model isn't positioned properly in the Dice, you may need to move your model. To do so, click on the name of the Mesh in the Bodies menu, and then press the "m" key

Experiment with values in the X, Y, and Z Distance until the model is in a proper position

  • You can also rotate the Mesh inside of the Dice with the angles in the Move/Copy menu

  • When finished select OK

Your Dice should look something like this but perhaps with a different model inside

Because the J850 is a full color, multi material printer, we have the ability to assign different colors, opacities, and hardnesses to different sections of our part. To do this we have to define the different bodies of our model to assign the desired materials

  • The remaining steps are to instruct you on how to use Fusion 360 to export a bunch of bodies to STL files however if you have a Solidworks file you can import directly or if you used a different software like Maya or 3D Builder to color a model you can save as an .obj or .wrl and import those to GrabCAD print as well

    • The First Print page will walk you through GrabCAD

If you have a part with different bodies, then you can export to multiple STLs in Fusion by right clicking the main component of your file and selecting the Save As Mesh option

Ensure to select the file type as STL and structure as One File Per Body. Click OK

You should make an empty folder to save to because it will create many files
