Cura refuses to "print one at a time"

[Guest]

Hey just a qucick question, im trying to print 9 of theys things bes as you can see fomr the image they refuse to print one at a time. https://www.dropbox.com/s/haqpg1tjqfedmy2/Screenshot%202014-11-24%2020.25.07.png?dl=0 and the layors https://www.dropbox.com/s/1cu7j5obwpbu449/Screenshot%202014-11-24%2020.24.54.png?dl=0

I tested out another model and it sliced just fine, it prints one them movers over and prints the next. anyone have this problem too?

I think they are too tall. Or at least that is what I noticed when I have this issue. As a test try laying them on their sides or use a smaller part to see if it kicks in.

Look at your machine settings "gantry height". You don't want those rooks to touch the cross bars. But if you place them far enough apart at a diagonal you can have it ignore the gantry height settings by setting it to 200mm. Or maybe it's a feature? Have the gantry knock one of the rooks over when it starts printing the second rook?

By the way you can tell if it's going to do "one at a time" by moving through the layers in layer view. If in one-at-a-time mode it will show it print one part, then go back down and do the next.

Just tryed laying them down on there sides but still nothing https://www.dropbox.com/s/t97pg7e6xdg2ivb/Screenshot%202014-11-25%2015.06.19.png?dl=0. I also tryed slicing a diffrent model and they all worl proporly(also tryed one smaller than this model by a lot)

did you change the setting under Tools--> print one at a time?

If the objects are too tall, they won't print one at the time.

The parts need to be far enough apart so the fans won't hit them. So there are 6 settings you have to check:

Check under "tools" to make sure it is selected "one at a time". Then check under machine settings and look at the 5 distances. The gantry height must be taller than your tallest part. Then look at the other 4 distances, they must be small enough or your parts must be farther than these distances apart.
