can i select the frame of the model to be printed first?

    The picture didn't show up.

    You can't re-order a layer but changing the Z-seam location and/or the Layer Start positions (in "Travel") may allow you to fool Cura into printing the portion you want first.

    You could also slice with "Relative Extrusion" turned on and then cut and paste sections in the gcode to get the order you want.  That's "Advanced Gcode Editing" and I wouldn't advise it unless it's practiced.

    Please don't double post. The picture from the other thread was this:

    You could also make each section its own file; I don't know if you can control what order they print but it would help if you try @GregValiant's gcode editing since it will say at the start of each section which mesh it's doing, but it's still advanced stuff you should only be playing with if you have some experience.
