Maybe the STL file is too big? Not sure but this is one possibility.
How big is the STL file? I would try exporting a smaller STL file with fewer triangles. Try to keep it below 1 million triangles (about 50MB). I usually aim for 100K triangles in my STL file. You can change the settings in fusion 360 on the export step or you can decimate (reduce) using this wonderful method:
The nice thing about meshlab is that it also tells you how many triangles the STL has when you load it and also again at the bottom of the screen. Meshlab is quite fast.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
