I'm using Fusion360, and trying to make changes to .stl files.

I would like to know what your preferred way to make changes to print files is. For instance, I was trying to combine a clamp and a cup holder and dealing with the resulting mesh files is pretty frustrating.

If there's any guides or videos on how this is generally done, that would be helpful as well.

I generally use a mix of fusion and meshmixer. Sometimes simplifying the meshes in meshmixer before importing to fusion makes your life a lot easier. Sometimes though it’s just easier and faster to model everything from scratch.

I think prusaslicer has also been adding some more tools for quick, simple edits also.
