Step 1 Create a design with multiple parts
⬢For start, you need to have a model (design) with multiple parts.
⬢Expand the menu and check if your model consists of multiple parts (bodies).

Step 2 Open “Save As Mesh” menu
⬢To be able to import the model into PrusaSlicer, you need to export it in a form of .stl or .3mf file.
⬢Right click the document name on top of the left menu and choose "Save As Mesh".
Older versions of Fusion 360 used to have Save As STL option in the menu.
Step 3 Save each body in a different .stl file
⬢In the "SAVE AS MESH" dialogue, look for the Format row. Select STL (Binary).
⬢
In the Structure row, select "One File Per Body".
This way, the design can be imported as Multi-Part object into PrusaSlicer.
You can also save it as a single 3MF file and open it directly in PrusaSlicer. This way, the bodies will show up as separate entities. But for demonstrational purposes in this guide, we are exporting the model as individual files.
⬢There is yet another option. If you exported as STL with One File option, you can right-click the design in PrusaSlicer and hit Split>To parts to be able to assign different colors to each part(body).
Step 4 Open files in PrusaSlicer
⬢Now you need to open PrusaSlicer and import the files.
⬢We've prepared a step-by-step guide for Multi Material .stl import: G-code preparation for MMU2S
