Print "one at a time" with multiple parts in single STL?

Posted · Print "one at a time" with multiple parts in single STL?

Sometimes, it makes sense for a collection of parts to be put in a single STL (or that is how the author distributes them). Would it be beyond the scope of Cura to recognize when there is sufficient space between objects in an STL and allow them to be printed using "one at a time" mode?

    If you right click on the object you'll see an option called "Split object into parts", after that is done you should be able to move things around to make "one at a time" possible.

    Before splitting - look at the "plate" in xray mode. If you see any "red" then don't split it as it will split a single part into multiple, lol.

    I had some text on a part that had an interior wall. After splitting I got all the text as seperate prints!

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
