How to add Robox into Autodesk Meshmixer?

[Serdar @greinon My Robox is a Blue Commercial Version]

I am using Fusion 360 to draw my part, and then Autodesk Meshmixer to prepare the drawing for the 3D printing.

 

 

I can’t see Robox in the Printer options. Is it possible to add it into the available Printer options? If it is the case, could you please explain how?

Yes you can set it up in Meshmixer . I think it is the second bar down where all the printers are you can specify your own printer just put in the name and the sizes of Robox print space

Just to clarify - you cannot print directly from Meshmixer, as the slicing engine it uses will not be able to add any instructions for controlling the nozzle valves in the head, despite it allowing you to enter a custom machine. Attempting to print using Meshmixer directly may damage your printhead. You just need to export the model as .stl or .obj and import into AutoMaker for printing. This is true of all 3rd party slicing/printing software - only the AutoMaker post-processor is able to add the necessary GCode for controlling Robox, beware those that claim compatibility - it simply isn’t true.
