What was the error message?

CAD file can't be opened. Can you update the step file so it can be opened in Fusion?

Just tested uploading the F3Z file and it works fine. Make sure you "Upload" the file rather than trying to just open it. An F3Z file is just a ZIP file.

Just pitching in. As a Linux user, the only CAD software I know and have access to is FreeCAD. I attempted to install Fusion 360, because some good person created an entire github project for installing Fusion 360 on a variety of Linux distros, but unfortunately, even after installing it and spending few hours to familiarize myself with it, uploading is severely broken. Please be a good person and export it as a step file like all of the Voron projects, don't gatekeep your good work. I want to be able to take a look at your work and find out if I can go with t-slotted alu profiles vs v-slotted, as for v-slots I have to wait few weeks, while I can get t-slots tomorrow.

Thank you for pointing out the Linux issue in not having Fusion 360. I've exported it to step and uploaded to CAD folder. Please let me know if you have any issues with the file. I previously had issues getting the step file to open in Fusion and FreeCAD, but this one appears to be opening fine.

After fighting for another couple of hours with Fusion 360 under wine on Linux, I too managed to export a STEP file. Currently testing yours. Looks good, and I already see what I need to modify for a T-Slot. I have few questions about your build, what would be the appropriate venue to ask them? The voron forum? I don't want to turn github into chat session.
