Print Multiple Parts One at a Time

Post by soul_reaper_38 »

Hi,
I was curious if I put multiple .stl files into one print, is there a way to have the printer print out each piece fully one at a time? Or does it have to lay down each layer for every object simultaneously? It would be nice to leave it on overnight printing multiple parts one at a time without it jumping across gaps to lay down each layer for all parts.

Obviously if this is possible I'd have to make sure the nozzle doesn't run into a fully completed part when starting another, so I'm curious if that's something the machine knows itself or if it's trial and error with spacing the prints.

Thanks

Different slicers do offer this feature. Obviously it depends on the shape of the objects being printed, a completed part can't interfere with the machine while it prints the second...

What software are you using?
