Multi-plate 3MF projects and combining files

3MF projects with several plates

When you upload a 3MF project, PrintSol counts the plates that hold at least one object. When you queue the file (from File Manager or as a project), you get one task per plate, and the queue card shows "plate N". Auto-print starts the right plate for each task.

• A slice of a multi-plate project slices all plates at once.
• The time, grams and preview shown for the file are those of plate 1.
• Tasks from shop orders print plate 1 of a file. Use one plate per file for products sold in a shop.
• Go on a queue card starts plate 1; for the other plates use Auto-print.

Combine several files into one bed

Tick two or more files in File Manager and choose Combine into one part…. In "One bed from n files", say how many of each go on the bed and give the bed a name, then press Create the 3MF.

• The slicer lays the objects out and orients them, and saves the result as a new 3MF in the first file's folder.
• A new part is made from it, which you can add to a product and print like any other.
• Later, change the numbers under "Made from" and press Rebuild bed for a new version.
