Import STL names along with file into PRUSA Slicer.

I use the hobbyist version of Fusion 360 for design. Once I have a design complete I take the 3D Print option, select the object, click Ok and the device is imported into PRUSA Slicer but the original file name doesn't come over, usually just body1. Of course I can manually rename it when I export the GCode but it seems like there should be a better way.

Any thought?

RE: Import STL names along with file into PRUSA Slicer.

Do you name the bodies you create inside of Fusion 360? If yes, the name should be reflected in the filename of the exported stl/3mf file. If you export the whole project as separate files, the filenames will be very long, but the name of each body should be at the end of the filename. If you export just one body, the filename will be shorter and just contain the name of the body. If you export the project as one 3mf file, the names of the bodies will appear as names of the parts in PrusaSlicer when you open the exported 3mf there.

I don't typically name individual bodies just the project when I save it. Seems like I should be able to pick up the project/filename.
