Same problem, No print functions worked after installing Win10 (Page setup, Preview, Print, Print to PDF). However, restarting SH3D and installing a printer (MS Print to PDF), appeared to solve the problem. Win 10 continuously getting updates and fixes, possibly as a result of the print malfunction in SH3D.

I just tried with Java Web Start 32 bit version and with Installer 64 bit version and didn't encounter any problem. If ever you find a way to provoke this bug again, please check if the Java console reports something with Java Web Start version.

Tried it again with web start, and (surprisingly) it did happen again. No print functions for a relatively detailed .sh3d file (4,2 MB / 1,5 MB compressed). And I did manage to print this file (eventually) last time. Small (simple) file works.

Seems Win 10 runs in to general printing troubles. Tried to print a web page (to the MS PDF printer) and no printers could be reached (even if it worked earlier). So maybe it is all OS printer interaction that freezes?

2nd take. Print function in Win 10 seems to come and go. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. But I think it is general and not just SH3D. Now the more complicated file responds nicely to print functions. ok

Without going into detail, on a Win 8.1 i3 processor laptop from last year, Win 10 upgrade seems pointless at the moment. Performance similar to 8.1. Multiple desktops and more Start menu options are nice. But erratic behaviour, and probably quite a few bugs. My feeling is to wait with Win 10 upgrade for now. Or skip it. Not found anything yet that proves superiority of Win 10 over 8.1 (unless of course, you really, really, hate the Win 8 start menu).

Probably no longer an issue, not able to reproduce with
Installer version 5.2 Beta 1 Java version 1.8.0_66 / 64 bit / 1.8 GB max
Windows 10 Home 64-bit (10.0, Build 10586) (10586.th2_release.151121-2308)
