Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer and MakerWorld

Slicers import STEP but turn it into a mesh, and they can’t export STEP. ShapeMason covers the trip from a slicer project into CAD and back.

You want Use case
To remix a multi-part project Split the 3MF into one STEP per part, edit the parts in CAD, then bring them back into the slicer
Multi-color prints from artwork Extrude by fill color into separate colored bodies, or two heights
To edit one part of a download Convert just that object
To edit a downloaded STL Mesh to solid with Prismatic conversion

Tips

  • Do all edits in CAD before slicing: the slicer turns STEP into a mesh.
  • 3MF files from Bambu Studio keep each part’s name and color; support and modifier objects are skipped.
